...with external competitors often consumes less energy than their alpha-male, intramural head butting. When the cable division wanted to brand its high-speed cable-modem business Road Runner, the Warner Bros. marketers--with straight faces--tried to extract a billion-dollar licensing fee from their corporate brethren for use of the cartoon bird. If any one thing has made Levin a success, it is his long-range strategic vision. But his willingness to let his managers run their businesses as they see fit--as long as they deliver double-digit earnings growth--runs a close second...
...that's evidence of a whole new medium. Levin listens and suggests that it might be harnessed to support Time Warner products. An AOL techie points out that they can tell when popular programs come on TV by watching the network traffic fall as users log off. "You could use this to tell when it was time to kill a show," the techie suggests. "We can see when Friends' ratings are falling," he adds, referring to a Warner Bros.-produced show.

(Indeed, Blackberry offers unlimited e-mail for $20 less.) eLink's limited-use plan, at $24.95--which allows roughly 100 short messages a month--is just too limited for my purposes. And on the ergonomic front, the teensy keyboard does not comfortably accommodate this boy's short, fat fingers. I used a pencil. Marshall could probably use the tips of her pointy high heels...
