Hey, maybe Time Warner should buy.

...a major Internet company! Why hadn't they thought of that before?

This is cut and pasted from this morning's Wall Street Journal. I'm not kidding:
Time Warner executives are weighing whether to substantially reduce the company's cable-TV holdings amid Web competition. Some inside Time Warner wonder whether it should buy a major Internet company.

I laughed outloud. This caught me flat-footed.

Context: Those of us who lived through the 90s dot-com boom where AOL was going to rule the earth, so they merged with Time Warner because Time Warmer wanted to be a part of a "major Internet company," .... ok, you know the rest...

lol, under Time Warner, both AOL and Netscape faded away into oblivion for the latter and irrelevance for the former.

Perhaps they should merge with Google. ;)
