ImageShack sucks, use ImageNerd - much faster!

I use XP, Miranda IM, Foobar2000, YzDock, CD Art Display and Firefox 1.5. The visual style I use is called Licorice and is my favourite. The wallpaper I am using is called Antique walls (I use the Teal one). I have Mac OS X cursors.

The following screenshots are from my main home PC, my EeePC and work PC look very similar but have Miranda and the startmenu in different places.

In my opinion, everything to do with Vista's visual theme, be it the tacky icons to the shoddy glass make me feel sick. It's really depressing to see the current version of Windows with such a lack of customizability, don't give me all this Window Blinds crap, can anyone find a Vista skin that looks as simple and compact as mine? I doubt it.

    • Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Google Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer is leaving for OpenAI by Pradeep Viswanathan Noam Shazeer is best known as one of the co-authors of the 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, which introduced the Transformer architecture that now powers most large language models. He also worked on several major Google AI projects, including LaMDA, before leaving the company in 2021 to co-found Character.AI. He also authored the Sparsely-gated Mixture of Experts (2016) paper, which is popular among the AI community. After falling behind OpenAI and Anthropic a couple of years ago, Google brought Shazeer back in 2024 as part of a major deal with Character.AI. Through this deal, along with Noam, several other researchers returned to Google DeepMind. More recently, he was a vice president of engineering at Google and a technical co-lead for Gemini. Today, Noam Shazeer announced on X that he is leaving Google and joining OpenAI. In his post, Shazeer said it was a difficult decision to move on, adding that he was proud of the Google team and what it had built together. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman welcomed the move with a post of his own, saying Shazeer was one of the people he had most wanted to work with since OpenAI’s early days. Google has made strong progress with Gemini over the past year, closing the gap with OpenAI in several areas. But losing Noam Shazeer is a major talent setback for them, especially after bringing him back less than two years ago by spending a fortune. For OpenAI, the hire adds one of the industry’s most experienced language model researchers to a team that is already pushing ahead with ChatGPT, Codex, and its next generation of frontier models.
