In Segment One- News: we will be covering the hot news of
the week including the big Transmeta finally comes out of the
closet event, rough times at Mozilla, and more.

In Segment Two and Three- AOL, a “Big Danger” or Who really
cares? we will focus in on the AOL purchase of Time Warner and the
possible breakup of Microsoft into a bunch of “Baby Bills”. These
two events will change the IT community and the Internet as we know
then today. These stories will have a major impact on the linux
Community, so we are going to sort through this mess. Joining us
for this segment will be Slashdot’s (and Rolling Stone’s) John
Katz, and NBC/MSNBC’s Brock Meeks. Listeners can call in on this
segment at 888-591-tech.

Remember Call in Tonight at 6pm pst, 7pm rmt, 8pm cst, 9pm east
and 1am GMT.
