Ever since I discovered I could check AOL e-mail accounts using a regular Internet browser, I've found little use for the company's all-in-one software package.

AOL is now free to folks who arrive via speedy broadband connections. And as part of that free service, AOL this week launched downloadable software called OpenRide.  The latest software is built around a "quad-view interface" with four visible panes on a single screen. When you click on any of them, the pane in question automatically resizes, taking up most of the screen. You can manually resize the panes as well.

For AOL to quite literally breathe new life into the Netscape browser, it needs to do more than embrace and work with IE: Netscape needs to surpass IE in terms of ease-of-use and functionality.

First a little background. I stopped using a Mac in 1997, as Apple was transitioning to the new operating system. I started using the Mac again as my primary OS in late 2005, a little more than two years ago. This is the first new version of the OS to come out since I switched back. Based on a tour of the new features, pretty late at the end of a long week, it's safe to say an OS is still just an OS, the purpose of the OS is to stay out of your way until you need it. Leopard may be prettier than the last version, I'm not sure it is or isn't. Not sure I'll use many of the new features. For people who hadn't used VNC before, "screen sharing" would certainly be a big new feature if they're working in a networked enviroment. And maybe the new backup code will fit into my routine. I have some ideas about that. (Maybe I'll just have one computer on my LAN that is backed up and copy things there if I want them backed up.) File sharing is more convenient in Leopard, the shared computers are listed in every Finder window, and this is good. FInding the disks that are available on each of these computers is one step easier too.  The Preferences applicaiton appears largely unchanged, except the Networking section where a lot of functionality seems to be missing. I have to look at this more closely. The Download stack is lost on me since I don't use Safari or Apple's mail app. I would find it useful if Firefox had a similar feature (but they kind of do, I can direct all downloads to a specific folder). All in all, changes to an OS aren't that important. The action is in the apps, and for me, just a couple of primary ones, the web browser and my integrated writing and programming environment. It's been quite a while since there have been meaningful improvements to either, and those improvements would end up meaning a lot more to me than improvements to the OS. There isn't much you can do, after the Mac has been around for 23 years, that hasn't already been done.  Net-net, my first impression of Leopard is that it isn't a big deal one way or the other.  PS: I wonder if the next version of the OS will be called Leonard, to honor Leonard Rosenthal, a famous Mac developer in the 80s and 90s.

B+ for effort Comment To say that AOL has rushed out its new film download service is an understatement. The terms of services just simply haven't been written yet (blank on the website) and it doesn't make clear that the films can only be downloaded in the US, but that's the case, and there has been little thought on pricing.â¦

America Online is testing a souped-up, totally redesigned pre-release of its widely visited AOL.com homepage. After lying dormant in the trappings of its classic design scheme, AOL.com has entered the era of high bandwidth. Much like other leading Web portals, users have their pick of news and other content feeds. Lastly, AOL has moved its search engine â powered by Google â front and center along with the most popular AOL.com destinations.
