Posted: 28 Sep 2010 10:06 AM PDT

San Francisco, CA, September 28, 2010 – AOL Inc. [NYSE: AOL] today announced that it has agreed to acquire TechCrunch, Inc., the company that owns and operates TechCrunch and its network of websites dedicated to technology news, information and analysis. TechCrunch and its associated properties and conferences will join the AOL Technology Network while retaining their editorial independence, further bolstering AOL's position as one of the world's leading providers of high-quality, tech-oriented content. The announcement will be made on stage at TechCrunch Disrupt in San Francisco, CA.
Founded by Michael Arrington, TechCrunch operates a global network of dedicated properties from Europe to Japan, as well as vertically-oriented websites, including MobileCrunch, CrunchGear, TechCrunchIT, GreenTech, TechCrunchTV and CrunchBase. The TechMeme Leaderboard ranks TechCrunch as the No. 1 source of breaking tech news online, followed by AOL's Engadget.*


"Michael and his colleagues have made the TechCrunch network a byword for breaking tech news and insight into the innovative world of start-ups, and their reputation for top-class journalism precisely matches AOL's commitment to delivering the expert content critical to this audience," said Tim Armstrong, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of AOL. "TechCrunch and its team will be an outstanding addition to the high-quality content on the AOL Technology Network, which is now a must-buy for advertisers seeking to associate their brands with leading technology content and its audience."


Heather Harde, Chief Executive Officer of TechCrunch, said: "TechCrunch and AOL share a motivating passion for quality technology news and information, and we're delighted about becoming part of the AOL family. This represents a compelling opportunity to extend the TechCrunch brand while complementing the great work of sites like Engadget and Switched. Our contributors, and our audiences, can look to the future with excitement about what we can build when we have the significant resources of AOL behind us."


Michael Arrington, Founder and Co-Editor of TechCrunch, said: "Tim Armstrong and his team have an exciting vision for the future of AOL as a global leader in creating and delivering world-class content to consumers, be it through original content creation, partnerships or acquisitions. I look forward to working with everyone at AOL as we build on our reputation for independent tech journalism and continue to set the agenda for insight, reviews and collaborative discussion about the future of the technology industry."


TechCrunch also hosts industry-leading conferences and events, including The Disrupt series, The Crunchies Awards and various meet-ups worldwide. These conferences bring together industry innovators, entrepreneurs and financing sources to exchange ideas, forge new relationships and discuss the current and future industry trends.
"Engagement with thought leaders is as important to AOL as our engagement with our contributors, audiences, publishers and advertisers, and TechCrunch's conferences and websites will give us a promising, additional springboard to join and amplify these conversations. We're committed to quality in everything we do at AOL, and look forward to working with Heather, Michael and the TechCrunch team to extend the brand," said David Eun, President of AOL Media and Studios.


The AOL Technology Network consists of AOL's tech-oriented properties including Engadget, the Web magazine about everything new in gadgets and consumer electronics; Switched, which covers the intersection of the digital world with entertainment, sports, art, fashion and lifestyle; TUAW, the unofficial Apple weblog; and DownloadSquad, the weblog about downloadable software and other computer subjects. The AOL Technology Network ranks in the top five for tech news according to comScore Media Metrix, August 2010 data, and leads the top five in average time spent and average visits per user.


This acquisition will further AOL's strategy to become the global leader in sourcing, creating, producing and delivering high-quality, trusted, original content to consumers. TechCrunch will remain headquartered in San Francisco, CA, as a wholly owned AOL unit. Deal terms were not disclosed.

Why is FarmVille so popular?

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 09:39 AM PDT

Anybody who has been or is on Facebook has apparently stumbled across FarmVille more than just once.

People who are addicted to playing FarmVille, think the game is stupid and boring, but say they just can't stop playing.

I know you would be wondering why so many people play "FarmVille" if it isn't fun?

The simplest reason is advertising. "FarmVille" is advertised like crazy all over Facebook, so it's always in everyone's face. This advertising is incredibly effective, because it is so immediate: You click on the ad, and you're playing the game.
FarmVille's parent company, Zynga, isn't the only one advertising it though. Users are constantly advertising the game to their friends, too, through "viral" channels on Facebook.


The less obvious reason that millions of people are addicted to FarmVille is that there's a sense of social obligation to play. If you don't play FarmVille, your FarmVille friends suffer.

Can computers replace teachers?

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 08:49 AM PDT

I am addicted to video tutorials.
For e.g: I used them to learn Photoshop.
I learn't how to use chopsticks online. I use them all the time to learn new things.

Then there are these video lectures available in CD or DVD Format.

So I was wondering if they could replace teachers. Videos are better because:

1) I can play them over and over again.
2) They are free. :)

Whats your take?

"Bombile" is the latest Terror in Assam!

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 07:50 AM PDT

'Bombile' is the latest phrase terrorizing Assam with reports of mobile phones suddenly exploding, causing the user to become unconscious.

The mysterious phenomenon has prompted Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi to order a scientific probe to unravel the bizarre occurrences.

An estimated 30 cases have been reported so far with more than 20 people admitted to various hospitals in Assam during the past one week. Most of the victims complained of nausea and a splitting headache, and some of them had to be literally wheeled into the hospital unconscious after the mobile handsets exploded soon after receiving a call.

"This is a mysterious phenomenon and so I have asked for a thorough probe by experts to find out the cause as to why mobile handsets are bursting in such a large number," Gogoi told IANS.

New User Titles On CE & New Facilities

Posted: 28 Sep 2010 06:55 AM PDT

CEans,

We have updated the new user titles on CE. The old setup of usertitles and username colors has bee completely discarded and a new scheme has been introduced. All our members have plenty of user titles to win based upon their post count on the forums. Following chart will give you an idea -



Note that the moderators & Administrator are special user roles and are awarded independent of the post count.

As your post count on CE grows and reaches the limits mentioned above, your rank will be automatically updated. The number of stars that you will be awarded with each user title will appear below your username along with your posts. Well, most of you have already noticed that we've gotten rid of the old, small stars :)

We are in the process of releasing new facilities for our select usergroups, which we'll announce soon. Well, it's no brainer that the more the posts you have on CE, better are the facilities you will enjoy. Stay tuned.

PS: The color scheme above is *almost* final; expect few changes.
