AOL stands for America Online and is an American internet service and media company that has been operated by Time Warner since 1993. AOL began in 1989 as a more user-friendly alternative to CompuServe and grew to have over 20 million members by 2000. In addition to providing free email and chat rooms, AOL also offers services such as radio, local search, games, and international versions in countries like the UK, Canada, and Australia. Time Warner announced in 2009 that it would separate AOL into its own public company, ending their 8-year relationship.

There is a surge of mergers and acquisitions among television networ.pdf
There is a surge of mergers and acquisitions among television networks, entertainment, and
internet-related companies since 2010. Some have been completed, some have been stopped by
regulators, and others are still in progress. How are these different from the AOL-Time Warner
merger of the year 2000? Are the recent mergers and acquisitions likely to be successful? Why or
why not?
Solution
A decade ago, America Online merged with Time Warner in a deal valued at a stunning $350
billion. It was then, and is now, the largest merger in American business history.
After gaining Federal Trade Commission approval, the deal had its skeptics. AOL was the
majority shareholder, and for the financials to add up, AOL would have to continue making
bundles of money in advertising revenue. Before the ink was even dry on the deal, the dot-com
bubble had burst, Internet stocks plummeted, and the bottom fell out of the online advertising
market. To make matters worse, increased availability of high-speed Internet access cut deeply
into AOL\'s dial-up revenue
The merger proved poisonous for both companies and downright deadly for investors. About
$100 billion in stock value was wiped out . In 2009, Time Warner spun AOL off as its own
company. Today, the AOL-Time Warner marriage is the standard business school case study for
the worst merger ever.
It was an odd merger, where both companies retained their independence. In fact, Time Warner
appears to have retained more power than AOL, even though technically, AOL bought Time
Warner.
There was a great potential to a merger - just imagine having the largest ISP (dial-up) with
millions of internet accounts merging with one of the largest cable network providers with
millions of homes connected to coaxial and then fiber networks. Yet, they could not make it
work.
The rumor has it that the executives of both companies after the merger (yet, again - they were
never one company) went to negotiate their consumer offering, specifically, AOL over Time
Warner boradband network. Nobody wanted to give up any revenue. The outcome? If you want
AOL over broadband, you can pay the current price for Time Warner internet (around $45/mo
back then) plus the standard AOL fee (around $20/mo). Needless to say, it was not a popular
offer. AOL slowly died. Time Warner spun it off.
NOW A days mergers and acquistions are going smoothly
Here’s a list of examples of good mergers and acquisitions transactions:
Human factors almost always have a significant impact on both a deal’s success and the amount
of additional cost and effort required to recover when they were not sufficiently considered. The
five human factors below differentiate successful deals:
Managing human factors increases the likelihood of value being realized: people are
complicated, and building a team that has the capacity and inclination to attend to them is a
differentiator in an industry where many still focus on the technical elements of the deal..

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI support
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.
