"Neowin - Yesterdays news, today!" - Digg.com


Recommended Posts

Neowin started out as an enthusiast website dedicated to bringing the latest news on Windows XP from its initial announcement to its final release. 6 years later, and the website still manages to cling on for dear life. Are we now finally starting to see tears in the fabric? Or is Neowin promptly going to pull something off?

appears to be the criminal at large, also seems to be banned. Wonder why he posted the topic!

Nothing new there, what is really creepy though is that he loves Neowin deep down :laugh:

Shame he couldn't keep his wad together.

Radish™

Yea, the news may not be the strongest feature, but Neowin has the best forum on the web.

I agree, to some extent. I was just reading around digg.com and saw this, might as well post it :blush:.

Radish?

Funny how all the stories like this are started by banned members of the forum.

They cant stick to the rules, get banned, and then all of a sudden the forum is crappy!

Love there mentality!

Well, duh lol. I used ot get worked up over it, now I just laugh. In the end, it's simply more publicity for Neowin.

perhaps if member's submitting news actually worked, Neowin wouldn't be a couple days behind on Frontpage news. Hopefully this gets fixed with v5...whenever that will be.

yes, but I am not sure if negative publicity is a good thing...from reading around the past couple of days, seems there are becoming a few more disgruntled members than usual.

1. The lack of "submit news" isn't the problem. The higher ups are trying to address the actual problems now.

2. People are always going to be disgruntled. This just gives them something to bitch about.

It's just a publicity stunt. It doesn't really offend Neowin (consider what there has been). But it doesn't exactly praise it either. It is interesting that this site was started to track XP from start to finish though, I didn't know that.

I don't find anything terribly unreasonable about that article; it's just a cold and critical analysis of Neowin's current situation by an ex-member. I disagree with many of his points, but then we can't completely dismiss it as "publicity stunt" when a three weeks old news sadly gets posted in the main page.

Lord, I posted the "news" the other day. It was 2 weeks old and not 3 weeks old for a start and most hadn't seen it and we hadn't posted it main page. 2 weeks is hardly old if you ask me and it was a topic worth covering

Our news is fine, there haven't been that many major tech news stories of the past couple of weeks anyway. We will be covering WinHEC 2006 like always and will provide video footage, audio podcasts, interviews and great pictures like always.

People need to realise that we're not here to compete with Digg.com, this is a prime example of how Digg.com is flawed as it takes "news" like this and allows it to get posted!

If members could submit news it would become silly with false information or people saying that another website is rubbish.

It is best have the members submit the news to the BPN and let the mods etc examine and decide weather it should be posted on front page.

Yes there are more disgruntled members lately, but when you are as big as Neowin is it is hardily surprising. More and more members are joining this hugh community. The more that join the more great posts can be submitted but there is also the potential for newb users to join asking for warez and acting like arses without reading up on the rules. They end up getting a banning and decide that Neowin is rubbish anyway just because the site is well moderated and they are not allowed to tell another person they are a cu*t.

At the end of the day, in England anyway, if you call someone a cu*t or use threatening behavour in the street, you get arrested and maybe imprisoned.

You do this in Neowin and you get a warning or even get banned... simple.

    • I was using searxng for about a year , self hosted, but results were starting to timeout and eventually it became unusable so I switched to degoog. Much better for my needs, more polished and add-ons like maps and calculations etc

    • Hello, I am not as familiar with AMD CPUs as I am with Intel's, but as I understand it, that's a mid-range CPU from about three years ago.  I would think it to be fine for everyday casual-type use.  A larger SSD might be better, but with storage prices these days that's a decision that has to be carefully thought about.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
