Ha ha, I only use AIM because all of my 172 buddies use it (with 3 or 4 on MSN and Yahoo!) I use Trillian just because of the tabs and chat logging and its pretty UI due to ugly AIM... So once Triton goes gold (and Beta2 and up).. I'll be a happy customer.

^Still can't log into the Triton message boards though :-/

Well this is on the main page now:

And Neowin confirms it as the next AIM.. For you two doubters

Last time I ever post news on Neowin again.. thanks shockz for making a newcomer feel so welcome and using your power for your own personal views. It's people like you that give journalism a bad name and think they are better than other people because they are a mod.

But all is good, have fun kids.

See-ya

dude, is it really that big of a deal?

Go outside, get some air, but i really don't understand why you're getting so ****ed off about this.

I mean just imagine if bill gates were bitching because people were saying Longhorn isnt version 6 of Windows. who really cares? its JUST a name

This may sound stupid but u know in the regular AIM how u can right click a buddy and go on "Show Info" for their profile etc. ... how do u do it on here??

I'm missing that feature as well.

One thing I probably use regular in AIM and its not there in this beta.

I'm sure it will be added as new betas are made available.

Still pretty crappy looking and clunky.

Also I got a survey pop up through IE while logged through AIM.

Which made me mad. More pop-ups through my chat client.

Not cool.

Are you kidding me?

Grow up. Your the one who's calling me arrogant etc...

I go by the facts... not assumptions.

:rolleyes:

I have no regret for my posts/actions... as I did nothing wrong.

I don't see how i'm abusing my status and power. All I did was edit a title for clarity. Way to get up set about something so minor. :sleep:

Wow, I actually like this client a lot.

Like other people said, 99% of my friends use AIM so I can't switch over to MSN or Yahoo which blows. I currently use an AIM 5.5 with DeadAIM 4.5 setup as well and that works pretty well except for the god forsaken butt-ugly interface but this looks pretty decent so far :). Just has some bugs but with future betas, this is actually something I'm going to be paying attention to!

I thoguht this was a bit interesting - AOL *MAY* say no more to AIM Ads!! After the wonderful exploit, heres something interesting: www.beta.aol.com - on the left side the "featured test" changed from the AOL Browser to the AIM Triton test. The catch? the screen shot shows NO AD in the buddy list! If this is true for the final... AOL is really listening to what we want and hate. Hera have a look:

Source: simply, www.beta.aol.com

Yes.. that same exploit/hack has been done already in this thread. What I was trying to say was... when you download the Triton software... it shows the ads by default... and the Ad option in prefs. is hidden. If the average person never went to Neowin or another tech site, and found this hack, then they wuold be stuch with the ads. Its interesting that the new screen shot on www.beta.aol.com shows the Triton buddy list without ads - so I am hoping it will go final with no ads, or the choice to remove them (with the ad pref. shown by default) What do you guys think?

    • Quantum Error Correction Validated in Nature: Microsoft and Quantinuum Log 800-Fold Improvement Two years after the original press-release announcement, independently peer-reviewed results published in Nature on June 10, 2026, have confirmed that Microsoft and Quantinuum achieved an 800-fold reduction in quantum error rates on real trapped-ion hardware — the largest gap between physical and logical error rates ever independently validated.    What Quantum Error Correction Actually Does — and Why Breaking Even Is Hard https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318329/20260613/quantum-error-correction-validated-nature-microsoft-quantinuum-log-800-fold-improvement.htm   Quantum Computing Wiring Bottleneck Cracked by HKU Silicon Carbide Chip at Qubit Temperature Engineers at the University of Hong Kong have built the first cryogenic control chip that operates at the same temperature as superconducting qubits — 10 millikelvin, or just one-hundredth of a degree above absolute zero — without generating the heat that has forced every competing approach to park its electronics hundreds of meters of cable away. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318325/20260613/quantum-computing-wiring-bottleneck-cracked-hku-silicon-carbide-chip-qubit-temperature.htm  
    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

    • Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) using their respective DNS servers and both trigger the dialog above.
