· Time Warner Inc.'s has officially split from AOL, the paleolithic web service that once preceded its name after a misguided merger in 2001 that even I -- who can barely balance a checkbook and still use a hand-cranked dial-up modem to access the America Wide Web -- knew was going straight down the toilet.
