It's weird, I should really take that link down because it exposes peoples' addresses but the cat's out the bag now so I see no point. Unfortunate they've been this lax though, that's pretty poor on the part of MK.

Well it's already in the open, so I don't know how much you can do, for sure it's a MK snafu

but also a disclousure issue from one of the potential winners ...

I really like how Audrey and her husband managed to feed us information but being

carefull not to get in a disclousure gray area, even when we were not 100% convinced

it was true. Double Kudos for you guys !!!

Cheers

I did not mean to open up a can of worms, but so many people had questions as to who the winners were and if they were sent out, etc. MK made a mistake, plain and simple. Hopefully they learn from their mistake and improve their service level next time.

This was an amazing contest and I cannot wait until the next!

True...but if Jason didn't post a pic of the mailing label, no one's information would have been compromised. Not sure if I'd really call the MK's fault, but the point is moot now that the kimono is open, so to speak.

True, but the breach of player's confidential details being leaked is concerning, whoever is at fault.

To protect the individuals I'm going to remove the reference number directly from the post - just so casual surfers won't be able to find it. I hope you can appreciate my position as a moderator here at Neowin and that it's my responsibility to edit this one thing. It's not gagging people as I'm not asking that the discussion be stopped, but just making it harder to find the addresses.

Thank you Rob. I was just looking for the edit link and could not find it. I did not mean to expose the level of detail available. I didn't even notice the addresses at first, just the cities.

I hope I didn't cause too many issues for the team.

Agreed, and good call. If I had won (which apparently I haven't...yet(?!)) I wouldn't want to broadcast my address either.

A very respectable and commendable thing to do... I'm very impressed by your professionalism. Especially on Neowin: "where unprofessional journalism looks better" :-)

They shoulda known, by the way this group solved puzzles, to use different tracking numbers. I mean seriously, you pay alot of money to a firm like Marden Kane to run a professional contest.

Even if only the other winners could see each others addresses it would be a pretty careless job of handling things.

I agree, at least don't get neowin and its community exposed by somebody else snafu.

Good move.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 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.
