AOL to lay off 1,400 call center employees in mid-December

by David Chartier Oct 19th 2006

AOL announced today that they will be laying off 1,400 call center employees, fulfilling a company restructure announced back in August. CNET is reporting the ISP-cum-content portal has told employees at their Albuquerque, NM and Tucson, AR call centers that they'll be closing up shop by mid-December, while they'll be selling a third in Ogden, UT. Here's hoping AOL had a little more tact than to use the recently-publicized Radio Shack layoff-via-email method.

Build the highest tower with 99 Bricks - Time Waster

Wrapping your mind around a simple game like 99 Bricks is harder than you might imagine. The object of the game is to build the highest possible tower using only 99 pieces. Sounds easy enough, but you're playing with Tetris pieces and distinctly non-Tetris physics. If you screw up, you don't just leave gaps that you could have used to score points, you cause your whole tower to wobble and collapse.

Pieces also don't lock to a grid in 99 Bricks, the way they do in Tetris. You can wind up with pieces slanted diagonally, and there's an edge of the board that your toppled bricks can fall off of. 99 Bricks is kind of like Jenga, in that it's almost as satisfying to watch your tower crumble as it is to play seriously. Once you get the hang of the way the pieces behave, it's an addictive little game.
