no one has mentioned Barquee...its a great app.

Has it been updated? As far as I could tell, it had been dropped for a while. Last time I used it, it desperately needed support for transparencies in the skins, and could have done with being more responsive.

That said though, I still probably wouldn't use it due to Quicksilver doing hotkey support, minus the song scrolling.

Damn. Just took a look at some of the applications. And they are nice. I especially like SideNote and SubEthaEdit.

Time to get a Mac.

SideNote is my new favorite app. I've tried all notepads and this one is my favorite just because it is so easy to use and is minimalistic.

Virtue so cool! i love it, i wont delete it :D plus its free!

“Virtue” is a virtual desktop manager for Mac OS. It offers features, eye candy and configurable options that no other desktop manager on the mac has added yet, and is under active development. It is based upon DesktopManager, which is a lighter, less feature-packed virtual desktop application.

ps: should i put that in backnews? or just for windows only?

nope for me :)

you can change background each one.

That's not what I meant.

If you have two desktops with two different wallpapers it goes like this:

Desktop 1 with wallpaper 1 > Cube animation to desktop 2 showing wallpaper 1 > Animation is done, showing desktop 1 > suddenly changes to wallpaper 2

It doesn't show the new wallpaper on the cube animation like Mac OS X does when fast user switching. That's what I hate.

I don't like the fact it changes backgrounds after the switch animation. Looks stupid.

That's easy enough to fix by setting up an 'Image Overlay' decoration to each desktop ;)

it's kinda buggy and pointless. :p

It's so handy for me. One desktop for news reader & browsers, one desktop for work (Illustrator, Photoshop, Pixadex etc.) & one desktop for email.

I couldn't do without it :yes:

    • 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.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
