change the font color using the toolabr in the IM window. to read away messages, simply open an IM window without IM'ing the person. It shows their info, along with away message, on the top half of the window.

Troll elsewhere. Your post contributes nothing to the thread. For those people saying it's cluttered or whatever, just look at the default msn7 contact list.....'nuff said.

I wasn't trying to troll...I mean come on....there haven't been a DECENT AIM release for awhile now...every time...the release is bloated and useless...and I am a AIM user my self and I to be honest really don't want another version of AIM that really don't improve the program it self and is buggy...i just want something that works...

sure hope ya'll know where I am comming from...

This new AIM beta looks great. I'm sure plenty of people will enjoy it when it comes out of beta.

Of course, I on the other hand don't care much for the eye candy of modern apps like this and prefer to stick to GAIM and skins for my apps that are just simple. I even use Windows Classic on XP.

Oh well. People will like this release none the less.

It actually looks nice, gotta get rid of those ads though. I'm sure there will be some sort of ad hack when it's official.

I'd say there will be one within the next week or so.

It does look very nice. The only real problems I've had to far is that I was downloading a Fedora disc, and had to pause the download because it was lagging AIM. Strange. :unsure:

Well AIM installed other services I didn't want running. When I closed AIM, because it lagged, I couldnt close the other 'AOL Connect' icon without the task manager. I want to chat with people, not all that crap. gAIM does what this does, its faster and it is a lot less glitzy. I had it installed for 3 minutes and took it off. That is my opinion, maybe final will be better.

It has been confirmed that this is not AIM 6.0 and will be released with a future suit of applications (just like AOL Communicator in 2004) with another major AOL milestone program that is currently in beta development.

As far as a hack, since this is not built on the same platform of AIM and more of an AOL platform (notice the connection to the AOL Address Book and the memory leak, as well as a lack of main AIM features) it is doubtful that a hack for the one ad will be developed/released.

To all the AOL haters, when you can bring something to the table that is as compact and simplistic as this program that connects to the 'most widely used' service, let us know. As for now, this is a HUGE step for AOL and the AIM service. Goodbye grey gui, goodbye AIM Today (ad [welcome] screen), goodbye 15 IM windows...today is a new day...now if only we can have some basic features back and some that have been on a wish list since the beginning of time.

For all official information on phase releases/screenshots/downloads/message boards head over to the offical beta area for this test: http://beta.aol.com/projects/tritonbeta/

    • Can confirm, I've built stuff for others and no complaints using their products.
    • Yes I agree, it's annoying. You can now miss tabs unless you point low enough.

    • Given only Volume license customers and specific resellers can obtain the LTSC versions legitimately it seems likely that this has been tinkered with quite a lot!
    • Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms looming price hikes due to memory shortages by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Memory and chip shortages have led to significant price increases for electronics over the past year, and it seems that more hikes are on the way for upcoming smartphones and computers. Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that the company is planning to increase the prices of some of its products due to the ongoing memory and storage shortages. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Cook confirmed the looming price hikes for Apple’s future products, adding that “Unfortunately, price increases are unavoidable.” He also said the company is doing its best to “mitigate the huge increases that are being passed to us, and we’ve been trying to shield our customers from the increases, but the situation has become unsustainable.” The Apple CEO also noted that the allocation of a large portion of memory chips to AI companies has contributed to shortages in the market, resulting in lower supply at a time when demand for devices remains high. “We definitely need memory pricing and supply to return to reasonable levels for consumer products. That’s the bottom line,” Cook said. Cook also added that Apple is ready to use its vast cash reserves to help boost supply in the market because additional production capacity is needed. While he declined to specify how Apple plans to do that, he said the company will not build its own memory and storage factories despite its financial resources and silicon expertise. Cook did not provide further details on the scale of the price increases or which Apple products would be affected, though iPads and Macs could see higher prices sooner than other products. Apple’s next product launch event is scheduled for September, when the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and its first foldable iPhone. It remains unclear whether the upcoming iPhones will be affected by the price increases, but given the current memory shortage, higher prices seem increasingly likely. There is currently no clear timeline for the end of the memory shortage. Samsung, one of the world’s three largest memory chip manufacturers, recently said the shortage could persist for several more years.
