"Neowin - Yesterdays news, today!" - Digg.com


Recommended Posts

Lord, I posted the "news" the other day. It was 2 weeks old and not 3 weeks old for a start and most hadn't seen it and we hadn't posted it main page. 2 weeks is hardly old if you ask me and it was a topic worth covering

Our news is fine, there haven't been that many major tech news stories of the past couple of weeks anyway. We will be covering WinHEC 2006 like always and will provide video footage, audio podcasts, interviews and great pictures like always.

People need to realise that we're not here to compete with Digg.com, this is a prime example of how Digg.com is flawed as it takes "news" like this and allows it to get posted!

Well said :yes:

Never looked at digg before but can tell you one thing - Neowin doesnt make you watch a full browser advert before you can view the bloody news!

I like Neowin the way it is thanks.. who cares if the news is a day behind! The forums are always up to date and thats where I spend most of my time anyway!

It's a cry for attention, "I got banned so i'm going to whine about it on my blog and submit it to sites to try to get visitors who will click my ads" (that's if he does have ad's of course.)

...

And luckily neither does digg.

It's not like I sit at my PC all day hitting 'Reload All Tabs' every 2 minutes with 12 tech sites open. Just wait until I get an RSS alert via email, or check out my RSS via WAP at work.

At the end of the day the news is pretty good, and the community is better than a lot.

'Tis funny how the guy needed to post nearly 4,000 times and get banned before deciding he didn't like the site...

Well although he's a dumbass some of the things he had to say were kind of true

Neowin was cool back when XP first launched. Back then they still had balls. Now, the place is like a neutered AOL chatroom full of douchebag mods and effeminate little girls looking for dating advice or how they should streak their hair. The place is a joke.

everything in that quote is true..except for the mods part ofcourse :p (please dont ban me)

yeah.. let's listen to digg.com.. a one hit wonder website, and all it has is other members posting random news, videos, and other random junk.

i have never read any thread about girls wanting to brush their hair on here.. as for the mods, everyone who gets a warning seems to have something against them.. do you see a pattern here? people cry because they don't care to read the rules and get a warning, and throw hatred towards a web site.

Head over to the wallpaper board and see how much the copyright rules are enforced. I know a guy who was banned for reporting copyright violations.

I don't know why anyone here would bash Digg.com...

I would say 75% of the news postings in BackPage news came from a Neowin member seeing it on Digg first.

Those of you who bash it obviously don't understand it or visit it very often. A news story doesn't make it to the frontpage unless enough members Digg that article first.

It has TONS of features, and even gives each member their own RSS feed for articles they like to share with friends.

Also, not that this matters to some, but just an FYI:

Digg: Traffic Rank for Digg.com: 355

Neowin.net: Traffic Rank for neowin.net: 5,512

Digg is about 2 years old and is already one of the most popular sites in the world...obviously they are doing something right.

I'm a person who is not very picky with things. I can live with not having a lot of things except the bare essentials. I guess this is also true with how I handle news here. For me, I don't care if it's faster or slower than other sites. All I care is that I at least have a chance to read it and evaluate its contents.

Neowin for me has been quite good and I have only had a few bad experiences. The community and the forum is also a plus for me so no complaints there. I do however feel it is wrong to comment badly on another news site such as Digg.com as they've also helped in shapping the IT community as it is. Why not just complement each other and be happy? I mean, a little cooperation never hurt anyone.

    • Hello, I am not as familiar with AMD CPUs as I am with Intel's, but as I understand it, that's a mid-range CPU from about three years ago.  I would think it to be fine for everyday casual-type use.  A larger SSD might be better, but with storage prices these days that's a decision that has to be carefully thought about.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.5 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display. Ocenaudio 3.19.5 changelog: Fixes crashes related to audio devices on Windows (DirectSound and ASIO) Fixes several crashes and memory corruption issues Fixes opening several headerless files at once, which previously dropped all but one Improves batch export by suggesting and remembering the destination folder Fixes accented and non-Latin characters in VST plug-in and compressed-archive file names Adds zstd compression support and updates the archive library Other bug fixes and improvements Download: Ocenaudio 64-bit | Portable | ~40.0 MB (Freeware) Download: Ocenaudio for Linux and Mac OS View: Ocenaudio Homepage | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • I did think about a Echo show once and it would be useful to see what my cameras see. But my brother got one and I changed my mind. Adverts and not really worth the price just to see my cameras. I have a load of dots and a Echo Gen 4, they will do.
