Neowindex 2007 - EU / US


Recommended Posts

Bad news folks. I won't be able to make the meet-up. Another priority event has come up that I must attend to (I'll announce it later). I will still be helping to organize though, so if you're coming, feel free to contact me.

Again, sorry I won't be able to make it out :(

All of the flights for Neowin staffers have been booked. There is no turning back now ;)

If you're going to be attending the US meetup, please PM me and we can work on coordinating a place to meetup. Chris Allen was doing this but work has got in the way of him attending.

Just a quick update on what i'm currently planning for the european event:

Were going to try to organize a sky/podcast with all the staff and members that are there, this is your chance to give your opinions on the topics of the day on the front page of Neowin during NeowIndex

I will be giving a signed photo (dont forget to bring your cameras ;)) of the european team & a 1 year subscription to the most original/funny question during the skycast.

The chance to see how Neowin is run and become a Neowin newsposter for an evening. An indepth look at what happens behind the scenes including:

-Demo of the Neowin CMS and forums

-Ability for members to post there own news to the live site and event blog*

-View how moderating the forums really works and an overview of the policies and procdures that all Neowin staff have to abide by before being let loose on the membership

-Talk to the real brains behind the design and coding of the site including Neobond (Steve), Redmak (Marcel), Dave Legg, and Rob (Rob Wright)

A Team Darts torni, with Teams of Admins, Newsposters, Coders vs members & invited guests from OSSN and Bink.nu

Im also bringing Microsoft branded freebies to give away to members that come along including:

Windows XP Epertzone community t-shirts (XL only)

XP Plus! Digial Media Edition (2 CD inc licence)

Windows XP branded Retractable headphones

Windows XP branded CD Cases holders

Windows XP branded retractable ethernet cables

We will also be on hand to answer and chat about anything else you have in mind, or just relax have a few beers and laugh your socks of at how something badly-funny always happens to me while im in haarlem (last year was like an episode of The Simpsons - with yours truly being a right Homer

*must be real stories formated and edited to Neowin's usual front page stories

If there is Beer involved. Im so there

As a long time Neowin member, I'm still waiting for my PM for ticket reservations and hotel bookings. I think you guys need a keynote speaker. I am ill-prepared as the next guy would be expected to be. But you should be prepared to be amazed! I can do at least a 2-5 minute keynote about Neowin. I will promote myself for the remaining hour. So how about it?

    • Here is the new Surface Laptop Ultra wallpaper in high resolution by Taras Buria Earlier this week, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its brand-new high-end laptop powered by NVIDIA's brand-new RTX Spark processor. As usual, Microsoft gives each new device a unique wallpaper, and the Surface Laptop Ultra is no exception. While the device is not publicly available yet, somebody has already extracted its wallpaper, giving everyone a chance to get a piece of the upcoming laptop in its full-resolution glory. The Surface Laptop Ultra has a very dark, abstract wallpaper that resembles the stock wallpapers in Windows Server, albeit with much less color. Having this dark, grim wallpaper highlights the laptop's mini-LED display and its ability to cut off parts of the screen's backlight to achieve OLED-like black levels. However, if you also like light wallpapers, we made a white version by simply inverting its colors. You can download both wallpapers below (click the image, right-click it, and select "Save as"): The Surface Laptop Ultra is expected to launch later this year. Microsoft is not revealing full details yet, including the price. However, Microsoft confirmed up to 1 petaflop of AI performance and RTX 5070-level of GPU performance. The heart of the laptop has up to 20 CPU cores and 6,144 GPU cores. Additionally, Microsoft and NVIDIA boast high CPU efficiency for all-day battery life. As for the display, it is a 15-inch mini-LED display with a pixel density of 262 ppi and a maximum brightness of 2,000 nits. Of course, not everyone needs this amount of power, and certainly not everyone can afford it. For those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is also preparing the next-generation Surface Pro powered by the Snapdragon X2 Elite processor. Weeks ahead of the announcement, details about this computer were leaked by a retailer. Do you like the Surface Laptop Ultra's stock wallpaper? Share your thoughts in the comments.

    • From all that I've read on the subject--not that much, really--it looks to me like companies and parents are trying to protect themselves from children using their parents accounts to run up giant bills, sometimes in the thousands of dollars, and the first the parents know about it is when they get sued... Internet companies have been sued for tailoring their ads to children, which is kind of old news. My belief is that policing starts at home with the parents, and the reason that so many laws that can't be enforced are being passed is because parents are eschewing their responsibilities, claiming not enough time, not enough knowledge, etc. Giving kids cell phones sans Internet connectivity is a good place to start--confine Internet activity to PCs in the home that the parents regulate. My kids are all grown and gone, I'm happy to say... They have their own kids to worry about.

    • BTW DXVK is also available on Windows and offers similar benefits like on Linux when it comes to performance, at least in some titles. The Raceroom racing sim for example even offers DXVK as one of its officially supported options and it can achieve ridiculous improvements in certain situations, like quite literally doubling (or more) the framerates
