Whoever said this isn't the new AIM 6.0 is mistaken.

I'm the one who posted the news.. and here ya go, I got it from an official AIM Programmer's blog on AOL.

**** YEAH!!!

I've been using AIM since it was introduced to me back in 2000... been using it ever since. I even tried other chat programs like yahoo, msn & icq. I don't even think they're as good as AIM.

As I said, regardless of that blog that was posted, this is NOT AIM 6. It has been confirmed by official beta staff and by the staffer running this test. This may develop into a different test, but Triton, as it stands will be packaged with another test currently in beta and released in conjunction with that.

Could you be any more vague.

The program looks like aim, it feels like aim, and it acts like aim. By god, I call it AIM.

Its not 6.0...

It's a beta version of a completely different software package...

Version 0.1.12

Not even version 1.

If you read the AIM dev's blog, you'd know that he said it's a new AIM from the ground up. That said, it makes perfect sense that the version number is 0.1.12.

Not to tick you off or anything, but can you show me proof? You just edited with out even proving anything. I had an offical AIM team member/coder say it was AIM 6.0 Beta 1. You have someone random dude who just says its not. So the version number is 0.1.12 who cares? Have you ever heard of test builds and code names. Just because it doesn't have 6 in it doesn't mean its not the real thing.

I'm not saying I'm absolutly right or know it all, but come on, it has AIM written all over it. And if you even read the site, it says all the features from 5.9 haven't been implented yet because its being rewritten from scratch. How can it be a brand new program if it's written from scratch? They will be implented as the beta moves on. So, really, do your homework before messing with something.

I can't believe you guys are all beside yourself over this thing.  It may have had a nice facelift and some features additions and changes, but there's still one huge problem.  I'll stick with Trillian.

Considering it is from AOL, yea, we are beside ourselves. It isn't often that AOL does something right like this, and this is the first beta. It shows they actually listen too.

This is nice.

To be honest. I use AIM 5.5 and I have DeadAIM 4.5. I get logging, no ads, tabbed windows and a fast interface. It seems to just work and as the poster above me said.. IT OWNS! . The only issue I have with it is the looks. AIM is so ugly - and maybe that's deliberate? Maybe they don't want to deter people with an overly cluttered/new interface. The aesthetics is my only problem with my deadaim+5.5 setup. Other than that, I haven't found anything that works right.

This Triton is nice looking. However, where are the HTML profiles? lol. That's the reason why I never switched to gaim/miranda/trillian.

Btw Bawx.. what do you mean custom BList? :p

its a very early beta. breathe homey and consider the fact that, like timdorr said, debugging is probably on and such.

It is such a drastic change from the original AIM that they probably felt it could not be labeled off as another AIM 5.x

    • Apple Maps

      By Joni_78 · Posted

      My son is in Monaco right now, and I was checking his location in Apple's Find My app. I noticed that Prince Albert's Palace was blurred out on the satellite imagery in both Find My and Apple Maps. I checked Google Maps, and the palace wasn't blurred there. Does Apple have some kind of process where property owners can request that their homes be blurred on Apple Maps?

      There is a lot of reasons not to use Edge but faster fixes and security updates is not one of them.
    • Can't access the forum on mobile

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Can't reproduce. I installed Edge, went to neowin.net > accepted the cookie consent > used menu to go to forums, everything loads and I can browse around the forums. If you can't interact with the dialog on the forums for some reason, go to the main site and accept the cookie consent there? It is true that the site will not function properly until the cookie consent is accepted or rejected,. it's a legal requirement and I also know that certain VPN/ad blockers block it, which is a user related issue and not a neowin.net problem.   This is not our cookie consent dialog. Gotta love browser hijacking... /s Edit: this may be what Californians see, I will confirm with our consent provider.
