 Sad news to lose such an important innovator that provided us such insight into the future of technology.  quote:Next, Shingy stopped by the office of Erika Nardini, the chief marketing officer of AOL Advertising, and handed her an iPad Mini. “Wanted to show you a little brain fart I had on the plane,” he said. It was a cartoon he had drawn of a bear wearing zebra-print pants and a shirt covered in ones and zeros.

This is one of those threads where I kinda feel like an alien trying to observe humans because I don't understand what the hell is going on, who this guy is, or whether that poo poo about the bear is a joke or if it's real and if it IS real then what the hell.

Remember when like three years ago the CEO of AOL publicly complained on stage that one of his employees had a baby born with a birth defect and it was costing him money because they offer employees health insurance Cool company

OMNI magazine did a piece on a very similar drugged out "tech prophet" back in the early 90's. The guy was interesting, but basically spouted a bunch of poo poo that anyone could've inferred about near future tech from reading WIRED or MONDO 2000 at the time. lol, most of it was about the coming VR revolution

Online was not a word yet, they called it "On Line" as grammatically correct. AOL service always sucked, its like the Mac of web services and all they ever did that was worth anything was AIM which they just stole and everyone else stole from them and did better.MY INEVITABLE DEBT posted:lol i didnt know this was based on a real person Pretty sure that's David Cross.

Hello GBS, I don't post in you very often but today on a whim I decided to check the GBS page and I saw this thread. Because I saw this thread I suddenly remembered that somewhere in a closet or perhaps the garage, I have a small duffel bag full of free AOL CDs. I never intentionally set out to "collect" AOL CDs. It just sort of happened? I had a few that I were showing up at my house and I thought oh, OK, I will use these for a craft project or perhaps as coasters or something. Perhaps something in the back of my mind suggested that they would some day become collector's items. I mentioned it at dinner or something and suddenly everyone in my family, and a few friends, were regularly bringing me their AOL CDs. I did not care about them, I did not organize them or lovingly examine their pictures or you know, that poo poo that stamp collectors do with their stamps? I just kept adding them all to that old bag and whatever, don't judge me for being a packrat that collects garbage, unlike those hoarders on the hoarder TV shows my house is clean and not accumulating filth and garbage piles (I only have four cats that's not hoarder level of cat numbers). Anyway, tl;dr this thread just reminded me that I have a couple hundred AOL CDs somewhere so I just went and checked eBay. Look at this poo poo guys I'm rich
