Press Release about Shoutcast Removal in VLC

,----[ Quote ]
| During the last year, the VLC developers have 
| received several injunctions by e-mail from 
| employees at AOL, asking us to either comply 
| to a license not compatible with free 
| software or remove the SHOUTcast capability 
| in VLC.

AOL Partners With Funambol For Mobile Syncing

,----[ Quote ]
| AOL rolled out a beta for an interesting new syncing option for mobile phone
| users, aptly named AOL Sync. It's powered by the open source mobile push
| email and sync provider, Funambol. This free service looks like a good
| alternative to Apple's often-maligned MobileMe or as a convenient way to keep
| an online backup copy of your phone's contacts in case of data loss.
