So, today I was on the elevator and somehow wound up in conversation with one of my loony neighbors. (Well, not all of the folks in the building are l
New Yahoo Board Approves Talks with AOL
Yahoo's new board of directors met on Tuesday and approved new talks with Time Warner regarding a possible sale of AOL. Yahoo recently expanded its board to 11 members, adding investor Carl Icahn in a settlement after his attempt to takeover the company with a new board. Frank Biondi and John Chapple also joined the board.
AOL has also been going through some changes, refocusing its business model on media and not on internet access. Subscriptions to its internet access product have declined in recent years due to the increased (and ironic for the Time Warner-owned AOL) broadband high speed internet subscriptions via cable companies.
No talks are currently underway. Tuesday's decision simply approves a move to proceed with them.

em 和 strong 的網頁設計區別，可以從三個層次上來談。首先看 HTML 4.01 中的網頁設計說明：EM: Indicates emphasis.STRONG: Indicates stronger emphasis. em 表示強調，strong 表示更強烈的網頁設計強調。言簡意賅，表明了 em 和 strong 的網頁設計命名來歷。並且在瀏覽器中，em 默認用斜體表示，strong 用粗體表示。這是第一個層次上的網頁設計區別。第二個層次上，在 Emphasis in context versus overall highlighting 和 em vs. strong 這兩篇文章中，做了很好 台中網頁設計的網頁設計總結：em is for local emphasis. You see? Local emphasis. If you would emphasize a word in speech, use em. strong is for global highlighting. When somebody looks at your document, at a glance, certain words and phrases should jump out. These are the words and phrases that make up the gist of the content — the highlights. em 用來局部強調，strong 則是全局強調。從視覺上考慮，em 的網頁設計強調是有順序的網頁設計，閱讀到某處時，才會注意到。strong 的網頁設計強調則是一種隨意無順序的網頁設計，看見某文時，立刻就凸顯出來的網頁設計關鍵詞句。斜體和粗體剛好 台中網頁設計滿足了這兩種視覺效果，因此也就成了 em 和 strong 的網頁設計默認樣式。感覺上面已經解釋得很清楚了？SEO們再來看看第三個層次上的網頁設計區別。HTML5 草案 中做了詳盡解釋：The em element represents stress emphasis of its contents. The placement of emphasis changes the meaning of the sentence. The strong element represents strong importance for its contents. Changing the importance of a piece of text with the strong element does not change the meaning of the sentence. em 表示內容的網頁設計著重點（stress emphasis），strong 表示內容的網頁設計重要性（strong importance），strong 不會改變所在句子的網頁設計語意，em 則會改變所在句子的網頁設計語義。並且舉了一個非常好 台中網頁設計的網頁設計例子： 程序代碼Cats are cute animals.強調貓，討論的網頁設計是哪種動物聰明可愛。 程序代碼Cats are cute animals.強調是，討論的網頁設計是貓是不是聰明可愛。 程序代碼Cats are cute animals.強調聰明可愛，討論的網頁設計是貓究竟是聰明可愛呢還是愚蠢討厭。 程序代碼Warning. This dungeon is dangerous.Avoid the ducks. Take any gold you find.Do not take any of the diamonds,they are explosive and will destroy anything withinten meters. You have been warned.strong 表示的網頁設計是重要性上的網頁設計強調，不會引起句子意思的網頁設計變化。最後注意 em 和 strong 都可以有多重，比如可以用兩個 strong 來表示內容很重要。可以看出，第二個層次上所說的網頁設計局部強調和全局強調是不夠準確的網頁設計。em 和 strong 區別的網頁設計玄妙處，在 HTML5 草案裡才得到淋漓盡致的網頁設計闡釋。推薦大家有時間的網頁設計時候，仔細閱讀 HTML5 草案。有很多元素的網頁設計語義，都闡釋得非常清楚，對於SEO們如何在最恰當的網頁設計地方使用最恰當的網頁設計標籤，非常具有價值。最後，在 前端與民工 一文的網頁設計回復中，以及收到的網頁設計郵件裡，很遺憾的網頁設計沒有發現有誰知道第三個層次上的網頁設計區別。因此準備的網頁設計禮品（SEO還真準備了10份），很落寞的網頁設計發不出去了。不過這篇文章僅是個引子，接下來準備用一系列文章來探討HTML中元素的網頁設計語義。禮品的網頁設計承諾繼續有效，留給下一個話題：請闡述dl的網頁設計語義，並列舉至少5種使用場景。 可以查閱資料，將結果貼在回復裡，或郵件發送給SEO都可以，禮物有限，前10個答對的網頁設計必送。補充：和一些朋友又討論了下，最後的網頁設計看法是：em 是句意強調，加與不加會引起語義變化。 strong 是重要性強調，和局部還是全局無關，局部強調用strong也可以，strong強調的網頁設計是重要性，不會改變句意。
