America Online, acknowledging that its subscriber base is declining, is relying 
on its Web presence to re-brand itself and dislodge customers' mental 
associations that it is nothing more than an ISP. 

 

In an effort to earn a new reputation as a leading Internet destination, AOL 
will open up to a wider audience on the Web through AOL.com. The portal will 
re-launch in beta form on Tuesday, offering visitors free Web mail, exclusive 
audio and video content, and access to a number of AOL services previously 
available only to subscribers.

"'In an effort to earn a new reputation as a leading

AOL.com. The portal will re-launch in beta form on Tuesday, offering visitors 
free Web mail, exclusive audio and video content, and access to a number of AOL 
services previously available only to subscribers,' reports BetaNews. The new 
AOL.com will highlight news
from the blogosphere, offer free access to 15,000 videos, 130 radio stations, 
and 20 XM stations. In addition, AOL is launching an RSS aggregator that aims 
to make RSS actually simple for normal Web users. And unlike MSN's RSS 
endeavor, My AOL will work in Firefox, Safari and
other browsers."

Apple Computer has officially discontinued their single-processor Power Mac G5

Apple's online store removed listings for the 1.8GHz, single-processor 
computers late last week. Apple confirmed that they were selling the last of 
their inventory in an effort to push an all dual-chip line-up.
