Well the first taste of Neowin I got was when I was searching for a way to patch the uxtheme.dll (if that's what it was called). I was looking into trying to make my crappy XP laptop look and feel like a Mac, and I think I stumbled on this site whilst searching for the patch. Ironically, I only signed up when I had my new Mac, and I've been in and out most of the time. Nowadays, I mostly visit TUAW and MacTalk, with occasional visits to Neowin to see what the other companies (Microsoft, Opera, etc.) are up to.

I found the forum a couple of different times, but I only registered now.

I decided to sign up when I searched RocketDock forums on Google. This site was the first result, and I kinda liked the look of it.

A friend told me. I'm bored at work, and one thing I love to do is find **** on the net, and introduce it to folks, and see the rise I get. I try to always get a good rise of course, but it's fun to find things on other boards, share them with other groups...and basically help stuff to get around.

You'll find one thing I love to post is cool inventions. In fact, I'm hopefully starting a blog one day that would feature just that, as that is where my real passion lies. Thanks for letting me in. Hopefully I'll share some good stuff! Just found the coolest invention ever can't wait to share it!

i registered after somebody posted a link to one of my YouTube videos and made fun of it, and later put the link to the thread in front of me.

that thread is deleted now, thanks god

i realized what a great place Neowin was, in between sending and reading hatemail via PM, so i forgot about that idiot and started posting as if i just dropped in from Google

    • I wonder how many are laid off for cost savings, and this being blamed on AI to make it sound less scary and bad, for a more positive "modern, with the times" spin for investors? Because Oracle is down 14% the past year. We're looking at a company struggling here. If AI would actually be working out so well for them that they can do massive layoffs, surely this would've been reflected the past year in their stock value?
    • AI is the beginning, wait until real robots replace more jobs, specifically jobs that require physical work.
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it by Hamid Ganji There’s no question that AI has become the hottest trend in workplaces, and every company is trying to adopt AI-driven solutions across its operations. While some industry leaders repeatedly say AI won’t lead to massive layoffs, recent data suggest that AI is actually one of the main reasons some companies are reducing their workforce. According to Oracle’s annual regulatory filing, the company has laid off about 21,000 employees, or 13% of its workforce, amid increasing AI adoption. “The adoption and deployment of AI technologies across our operations have resulted, and may continue to result, in reductions to our workforce,” Oracle said in the filing. The software giant now has approximately 141,000 full-time employees, a notable decrease from 162,000 during the same period last year. Restructuring expenses, including severance payments, cost Oracle $1.84 billion in fiscal 2026. Additionally, around 49,000 Oracle employees were based in the U.S., while approximately 92,000 were employed internationally. Like many other companies, Oracle has fully embraced AI and concentrated much of its efforts on the technology. The company is also a key participant in the United States’ $500 billion Stargate Project, which aims to build multiple AI data centers across the country. When it comes to AI adoption and its impact on the workforce, opinions remain divided. NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, whose company has been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the AI boom, recently said in an interview that attributing job cuts to AI is a “lazy” narrative. “The narrative that connects AI to job loss, for many of the CEOs that are doing it – it is just too lazy. AI has just arrived, how is it possible they're already losing jobs?” Huang said. However, statistics and recent reports tell a different story. According to Layoffs.fyi, 196 tech companies have laid off about 119,800 employees so far this year. Reducing staff and replacing roles with AI agents could become one of the most significant trends in the job market in the years ahead.
