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

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:

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?

      By LoneWolfSL · Posted

So kick back, relax, and hold on to your wallets. The Epic Games Store's mystery giveaways may have ended, but its regular freebies didn't miss a step this week. The double drop was for copies of Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. Speed Freeks lands for multiplayer racing fans, but with plenty of competitive shooting elements too. You will be piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures while trying to complete objectives and pass finish lines. Next, Ouroboros King is a crossover between chess and tactical roguelikes, offering the chance to create your own army with special rules to beat incoming foes on the board. The double giveaway on the Epic Games Store will be available until June 11, and replacing it will be Citizen Sleeper and ROBOBEAT. The Humble Store brought a new charity bundle to check out this week too. Landing with the name The Complete Inkle Library, this is a large collection of interactive narrative puzzle games from the publisher Inkle. This begins with Heaven's Vault, four parts from the Sorcery series, 80 Days, Overboard, and Pendragon: Narrative Tactics within the starting tier for $9.

    • Microsoft releases major feature updates for stock Windows 11 apps

      By Neeo · Posted

      When will the Photos app be updated to remember the window size and position when reopened? They addressed this issue in a 2024 version of the app (though I can't recall the build number). Unfortunately, after that specific version, the problem persists! Please prioritise this fix in your K2 schedule. Additionally, the Snipping Tool has lost the ability to capture the Windows Taskbar starting from the 2024 version!

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
