Wow.. and I thought P2P was fast when flicks were available on the net a week after the theatrical release. Now we don't even have to wait until movies are released to the theatres?

Nothing is sacred.  :blink:

The movie is straight to dvd, so it won't be shown in theatres.

I've bought all the current seasons on DVD, and I will continue to do so with the Movie and season 4. But I just can't wait that long! Why do they take so damn long to bring things out on DVD? I'm not talking about just Family Guy here either.

Studios want to milk every cent from the theater before they release it on DVD. Plus, they get money on those cheap matinee theaters and rentals before releasing it to masses to buy on DVD.

Before people could download movies, games, OSes, etc., what did people do to "trial" movies and games instead of buying it? You people whine and complain that movies and games are so expensive, so you download the crap with no intention of buying it. Honestly, if you are that pressed for cash, cancel your expensive Internet account, pawn your $3000 laptop/desktop, and get a job.

Now, I'm not saying everything on my computer is 100% legit, but I at least don't go around spilling out pathetic excuses that industry is so greedy, stuff is so expensive, etc.

I'm also curious what people did about their patience on waiting for an official release of a DVD or movie back in the days when you couldn't download them early. Did the pain of waiting cause people to commit suicide, swallow whole bottles of anti-depressants, go on maniacal rampages...?

So your logic is to just not buy it? That shows them! Now if enough people followed your wonderful logic, no one would get paid anything. Man, your logic is so astounding, I'm going to take the rest of the day off from work and ponder my existence. :pp

By the way, check your facts before you throw exaggerated figures out there.

we livbe in a society that is telling us buy,buy,buy and/or get it,get it, get it...some people buy it, some dont and some do both

586274784[/snapback]

I'm in total agreement with you there. It's where you alluded that not buying something legally is preferred so you can make a point about cheap overseas labor and the such.

By the way, I'm not trying to sound rude, mean, or hateful in my posts. I'm just trying to debate, which usually involves strongly getting your point across and exploiting flaws in others' logic.

oh god...capitalism? jesus christ, so now the whole idea of making money to live well is the cause of all of this? Give me a break people. How many stupid things are you going to blame for yourself wanting to steal something? You don't want to buy it, plain and simple. Either you're too poor, or you're too stupid to be able to get a well paying job and be able to pay for things. I like what viserov said about how you most of you can buy a $2000-3000 laptop, a 550 dollar top-of-the-line video card, tons of video games, expensive clothes and shoes, cell phones, mp3 players...all the gadgets being reviewed on neowin...and yet no one can buy a cd or a dvd?

how is not being able to see the latest dvd not fair because you cant afford it? Of course it isn't fair, but since when was life fair to begin with?

Do you know how much time it takes to make an animation? Do you know how many people work there day in and out so they can make some money too? It's amazing how you people complain it's not fair that you can't see a type of entertainment because you're either too lazy to bank some money.

Yea, stewie is ok for one liners but a whole movie would kind a bit annoying I think.

well, considering how much i personally use my computer, i think its a good investment. I use my computer(s) for my job. moral values have nothing to do with this. it's mainly you wanting to be entertained for free.

Entertainers are workers. Not everyone can be a good entertainer, and the ones that are great, get paid well. Like Seth, but that doesn't mean we should demand that it be free. He has to live off Family Guy for the rest of his life, long after this series has been cancelled yet again because of 'fans' that won't buy his retail things.

yes, my oh my how bit torrent has screwed up everything. Now people don't have to do anything to steal, where as just a few years ago you had to actually contribute something back to the community you worked for.

That's another problem, people that use bit torrent and think they are "in the scene" are even worse. They are purely leechers, and will probably always be leechers. They contribute nothing except for filling their hard drives with other people's copies. If you start downloading at the age of 13, of course you're not going to see anything wrong with it by the time you're 18. You'll have a few thousand songs you'd never have, and maybne a few hundred dvd's that mommy and daddy would never get for you. So you get sad because all the 'cool' kids have something you want.

It's the same crap over and over, you blame easy access, but what it really is is your greed to have this stuff and nothing more.

well hey, how about i divulge into a few things of my own. I guess for me, since I now work at a place for entertainment, my views have significantly changed. I mean, the one thing I hate being the most is a hypocrite, and when I personally steal a cd from a band I know, it makes me feel like ****. A lot of these guys are great people who spend so much time making a cd so they can support their own family.

I think that's what the RIAA should really do, make videos showing working families struggling for money because no one wants to buy their cd and decides that downloading it is the best way. I just don't get impressed with people on forums like these when they post about the newest leak.

I had Cold's new cd 3 days before it leaked. I've had taproot's new cd for almost 2 weeks now and it still hasn't leaked, and the biggest cd I have right now is Disturbed. I've had that for about 2 1/2 weeks now, and that hasn't leaked either. I'm just not impressed with kids having to brag about a cd they stole to look cool. I don't understand the mentality and I don't understand why it's still around in neowin.

DT: so you got one bad cd. sometimes that happens to us, but should we decide to steal hundreds of cds because of one bad one? It's not really funny, but more ironic. If you want to say that society has pushed us into entertainment, I will somewhat agree, but in the end, you still choose what you listen to and what you buy. There are millions of artists around the world, and you have the liberty of BUYING whatever product you want.

    • U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      U.S. partially reverses Anthropic AI ban for Mythos but keeps Fable 5 off the market by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic says that the U.S. government has finally allowed it to restore Claude Mythos 5. But of course, there's a catch. The rollout is again for a limited set of U.S. organizations that operate and defend critical infrastructure. The company announced this in a post on X (formerly Twitter). This does not mean that Anthropic's latest frontier models are back to normal availability. Fable 5, which was a tuned version of Mythos 5 for public release, remains unavailable. Anthropic said that it is still working with the government to expand Mythos 5 access and make Fable 5 available again, but there's no timeline. Reports from Bloomberg and Reuters say that this decision actually came through a letter from the U.S. Commerce Department. According to Reuters, this would allow more than 100 companies and institutions access to Mythos 5. Reuters also reported that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick’s letter removes the need for export licenses for approved companies’ non-US citizen employees, as well as Anthropic’s own non-US citizen employees, while restrictions remain for organizations outside the approved list. Anthropic isn't alone with this kind of controlled rollout. OpenAI's newest model family, GPT 5.6, was announced just yesterday, but isn't available for everyone yet. In its announcement, OpenAI also said that access to these models is initially limited to a select group of trusted partners and organizations, with broader access planned later this year. Both of these cases show that frontier AI launches are no longer just ordinary product releases and more like slow and vetted deployments shaped heavily by the U.S. government.

    • Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Microsoft Weekly: 5 years of Windows 11, more support for Windows 10, and expensive Xbox by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft giving Windows 10 one more year of support, Windows 11 getting new taskbar settings in preview updates, Steam Machine prices, higher XBOX prices, and many more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. On June 24, 2026, Windows 11 turned five. The controversial operating system was released half a decade ago, and during these years, it received a fair share of criticism (such as poor Windows Search and its web results), which Microsoft is now actively addressing with regular preview updates that deliver missing, long-requested features. With Windows 12 nowhere to be seen on the horizon, it will be interesting to see if Windows 11 can stay on the market for as long as Windows 10 did. Speaking of Windows 10 and staying on the market, this week, Microsoft quietly prolonged the Extended Security Updates program for Windows 10, allowing users to get one more year of security updates if they do not want or cannot upgrade to Windows 11. Finally, Microsoft released this month's non-security update for Windows 11. KB5095093 arrived with a traditionally long list of new features, including point-in-time restore, new Windows Update settings, quieter Windows Widgets, new accessibility features, File Explorer updates and performance improvements, and more. Windows Insider Program Here is what Microsoft released for Windows Insiders this week: Builds Canary Channel Build 29617.1000 and build 28120.2374 These builds bring new accessibility features, new Windows Update controls, audio improvements, and more. Dev Channel Build 26300.8758 This build includes redesigned taskbar settings, File Explorer improvements, and more. Beta Channel Build 26220.8754 and build 28020.2366 This small update fixes the OneDrive bug in File Explorer, tweaks system sounds in dark mode, and more. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. If you use AI-powered browsing history search in Microsoft Edge, the company has bad news. A new update on the Microsoft 365 Roadmap revealed that Microsoft is discontinuing the feature. Despite using on-device models for natural search, some users found it creepy, claiming that Microsoft lacks trust in features like this. While the ability to find pages without using 100% precise words may sound cool, customers argued that it was nothing but another feature to bloat the browser with more AI. Good riddance? PowerToys received several updates this week. For one, Microsoft released version 0.100.1 with several improvements and bug fixes for the recently arrived version 0.100. A couple of days later, Microsoft dropped another update, this time fixing memory leaks in Command Palette Dock. In addition, the company is working on a new module that will make it easier to switch between windows within one application using the Alt + ` shortcut. The new module should make it to the stable release somewhere soon. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: New Ventoy update adds Windows 11's mandatory update support and more Microsoft updates Visual Studio Code with chat cost tracking and multi-agent chats Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" Microsoft adds new AI study and teaching tools for free to Microsoft 365 Education Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors Microsoft is bringing a much-needed Recap app to Teams Microsoft's fast coding model, MAI-Code-1-Flash, comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.2 with FSR 4.1 support for RDNA 3 graphics card. However, the driver contained a bug, which prevented installations on Windows 10 PCs. AMD fixed that with a quick hotfix update. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week This week, Steven Parker published several reviews. He shared his experience with the Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe, a high-quality sound card with a headphone amp, low-latency communications, great build quality, and DSD256. However, it is on the pricier side of the spectrum, and it lacks EMI shielding. Check out the full review here. The second review is about the TerraMaster F4-425 Pro, an octa-core Intel NAS with a stand-out feature: built-in AI (OpenClaw). We also published a few Hands On reviews, which you can view below: We check out the SKG PS700 Neck Massager SKG Hand Massager with Heat OS500 hands on Hands-on with BOOX Tappy: cute little reading accessory Hands on with the ProtoArc EM25 affordable ergonomic mouse On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more. If you plan to purchase a new Xbox, it's time to act now. This week, Microsoft announced yet another Xbox price increase. Starting August 1, 2026, all Xbox Series X|S models with 512 GB of storage will cost $100 more. As for the 1TB models, they are going up in price by a whopping $150. Finally, Microsoft is discontinuing the 2TB Xbox Series X. To make up for that, Microsoft announced a few programs to make its consoles more accessible. Those include BNPL, interest-free financing, pre-owned consoles, certified refurbished consoles, and more. Valve also shared some not-so-welcome news. The company has finally announced prices of the upcoming Steam Machine console, and if you plan to buy one, get ready to spend a whopping $1,049 on the 512GB configuration. The Steam Machine is now available for preorder, with shipments scheduled for June 29, 2026. Grand Theft Auto VI also received its official price tag. Rockstar Games announced that the long-anticipated game will launch at $79.99 for the base edition and $99.99 for the ultimate edition. The latter includes an exclusive collection of premium vehicles, weapons, apparel, and action threaded across all aspects of Jason and Lucia’s story." Those who preorder the game will get extra bonuses, including a Vintage Vice City Pack of cosmetic items as well as a free month of GTA+. NVIDIA announced new games for its GeForce NOW streaming service. Those include Dark Scrolls, SAND: Raiders of Sophie, Deer & Boy, EMPULSE, and more. Steam is running its annual Summer Sale, during which you can purchase plenty of various games with big discounts. It runs until July 9, so in case you missed it, you can still get some games at a lower price. Also, you can get two games for free in the Epic Games Store, plus more deals are available in this week's Weekend PC Game Deals issue. This link will take you to other issues of the Microsoft Weekly series.
