Like Yahoo earlier this month, Aol changed its DMARC policy to reject.
Also in the Internet sector, shares in America Online aol changed hands swiftly one day after the online titan formally announced its $4.3 billion acquisition of browser developer Netscape nscp and penned a separate marketing and development contract with Sun Microsystems sunw.
That all changed on Wednesday not because AOL aol had a change of heart, but because a small New York startup called Odigo introduced free software that makes AOLs Instant Messenger (AIM) work with ICQ, the system AOL acquired in the summer of 1998.
The 45-year-old Berman, who has taken on the big tobacco firms, General Motors and even Mike Tyson for taking a bite out of Evander Hollyfield's ear, is charging that AOL aol knowingly released its latest upgrade, AOL 5.0, without warning customers that the installation would cause major changes in their PC operating systems.
What does this mean for TechCrunch AND YOU? Well I'm assuming we'll be saying Jay or whoever's name instead of Arianna's when we call Aol to change our System Passwords once a quarter.
Even more impressive, if you indicate the age bracket of a youthful screen-name holder, the entire AOL design changes accordingly: its color scheme, the layout of features, which buttons and attractions are listed, and so on.
Mr. Falco, who had worked at General Electric's NBC division, also said he wanted to change AOL's complex management structure, known as "the matrix".
But the acquisition did change AOL and the entire media industry.
Aol announced the change by sending out a company-wide memo earlier today.
AOL says the change will take place in the next few days, but you can sign up to receive a notice when new importer is available.
