The beatings will continue until morale improves

Tim Armstrong, the CEO of AOL, fired an employee while on a conference call with over 1000 other employees.

Here's the story:

AOL owns Winamp, one of JRiver's competitors.  Tim Armstrong's 2012 compensation was $12.1M.

I heard this on the radio a few days ago, I guess Abel Lenz will not do that again.

Winamp is no competitor, never liked Winamp or AOL.
