AOL's human "computer,"
Ron Grant, is building an elite team of high-tech ubermenschen to lead the Dulles-based online service back to technological dominance. Or maybe not. Former
CNet employees are snickering over Grant's choice to head AOL's platforms division, the weightlifting, Corvette-driving, cat-loving
Ted Cahall. According to one former
CNet staffer, Cahall left such a
miasma of bad feeling that the exodus continues a full year after he left the San Francisco tech publisher.
