Microsoft Messenger for Mac 6.0.2


Recommended Posts

Still no webcam support...

this is actually pretty LAME.

I'm sick of having to use Proteus in order to get pretty much all Windows WLM features lol.

I know, the Mac version will always be the light one, but dudes... WEBCAM, this is such a BASIC feature for a messenger nowadays.

We might see it in Messenger 7. Messenger 6 was only meant for quick Universal Support and some other minor modifications. Even though Messenger 6:mac lacks audio and webcam support I very much prefer it over de crap they released for Windows.

So has anyone noticed any differences? The screenshots look identical to 6.0.1 to me.

I haven't noticed any differences with the aesthetics, however the program feels more responsive and stable than Messenger for Mac 6.0.1.

bit off topic but i've never understood how messenger for mac looks great but for windows it looks crap, and how windows version has adds and mac version doesnt! just crazy.

Yeah I've always thought that. Even though Messenger for Mac lacks many Windows Live Messenger features, it sure looks better.

Care to put some money on that?

Admittedly, this one is from a G3 iMac, but I think that if you look at the OEM hard drive that comes in most Macs, you'll see that Apple logo on them, thus they are "Apple Branded", even though they are made by various companies.

I want offline messages and roaming display pictures.

Roaming display pictures? What's that? I don't recall anything like that being on even the Windows version.

And as for offline messages, Microsoft Messenger sometimes lets you accidentally send and receive offline messages. You can't start them, but if someone offline messages you first, it seems to work fine.

hey, everybody.

i didn't notice anything from 6.0.1.

Does kizzaaa mean dynamic display pictures like on wlm for pc?

Also, i'd like to see some sort of system so that your iTunes album art becomes your display picture.

Something like http://www.msgstuff.com/downloads/file/76/ but for mac.

Thoughts?

When I saw this thread in the recent forum entries, I thought a new version of Messenger was released.

Windows Live Messenger 8.1

This version was released from Microsoft on January 29, 2007. New features include improvements for Windows Vista compatibility, roaming Display Pictures and Personal Messages (which means that the Display Picture is stored on Windows Live servers and will not change if you log in from another computer).

Roaming Identity - Display Names and Pictures can be saved so they are the same on each computer you sign into.
ah right. Yeh, i was wondering what was going on. My msn suddenly turned very buggy since i installed safari 3.

Yeah I have actually started to notice this as well. At first I thought it was crashing as usual, but since installing Safari 3 beta, I've noticed it even more.

    • 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.
