i'll be the moany one and say he shud be disqualified because he didnt follow rules (1.4mb file)

:laugh:

If I had to to say something, Id say the following:

1: This guy is professional....Top notch audio system, top notch production.....etc. I think he could have bought the laptop himself and for a few others on Neowin and still have money.

2: There was more than one person involved

3: He really didn't say what he would do with his pet dragon; He just invented a story.

It was very good, very well produced, but I think there were a couple better entrys (excluding mine)

The shortlist should have been posted and in a period of days, member's would (tracking IPs) vote on the shortlist.

Nonetheless, good job to dustino71

I'm not going to critisise him because even my own one skirted around the subject, and no one should be critisised for making something good, because it's not a "who made the audio file that sounds like this person really needs a new computer" competition! :D

Too easy to skirt around, and very much subject to fraud by scripting, or conscripting friends to vote multiple times.

It is so easy for people to whine after the fact, rather than starting their own site and hosting a contest like this where they can make up their own rules.

...and here I was thinking we were going to avoid the moaning seen post-competition on the other sites.

Please. Be gracious.

Heh. On the internet, nothing is avoidable. :p

Also, The decision of the staff is final, so I don't understand why people would be whining and stuff, cause no matter what they do, they won't change it :)

Hey thanks a ton for the kind messages guys! I've been a reader of neowin for several years now, I don't post all that much on the forums, but love the site. Thanks again to Rob, and all the admins, I jumped out of my chair when I read the winner post on the main page!

I'm very honored to have made 3rd place. Infact i've never been so happy to make 3rd in my whole life. truthfully I thought I had it in the bag with my death of a dragon. Until I heard Dustio's then I was like... AHHHH $()R*)*#$. :laugh:

But contradulations Dustio, you made one hell of a mp3 :yes:

Then last night I listened to the 2nd place entry and laughed at the end. So far that was my favorite.

Seriously, anyone else "complaining" that they don't think the winners should have won, will get a swift kick in the arse by yours truly.

    • U.S. delegation throws away all burner phones and gifts from China before takeoff

      By PeterTHX · Posted

      LOL, expect to take you seriously? The $7k myth? Ignoring the BILLIONS Qatar spends every year to influence American politicians and universities? Claim terrorists are "journalists" when they are members of Hamas and even have Hamas funerals with their pictures in Hamas garb. "Snipe kids" when they don't, meanwhile the other side sends kids into battle (and their mothers praise their martyrdom) and uses them as human shields and their schools as rocket launch sites and entrances to their tunnels - which they took all their foreign aid to build at the expense of their people. Base their operations at hospitals - violating every rule of war and making said hospital legitimate military targets? AND THEY KILL LGBTQ+ PEOPLE - listen to their own testimonies themselves, their interviews on what they do to them! They're proud of it! Your talking points are all BS and you know it. Stop defending another Islamic dictatorship that uses terror as their primary policy.

      BetterMediaInfo 1.0.0 by Razvan Serea BetterMediaInfo is a modern, open-source graphical user interface for MediaInfo, designed to improve metadata inspection workflows for audio and video files. It extracts and presents technical parameters such as codec profiles, bitrates, resolution, frame rate, stream ordering, and container-level attributes in a structured, readable layout. The interface is built with clarity and responsiveness in mind, supporting drag-and-drop functionality. It preserves the full feature set of the MediaInfo library while making the data easier to parse for users working in media management, encoding validation, or post-production environments. In short, BetterMediaInfo takes the power of MediaInfo and makes it much easier to use. Whether you're checking video quality, verifying audio settings, or just curious about a file's details, it gives you clear, organized info without the clutter. Requires Microsoft Edge WebView2, which is included in most Windows versions. BetterMediaInfo 1.0.0 changelog: Added an Image stream table to the card view and detail view, including type, color space, resolution, and size fields. Added View settings to toggle Image stream tables in card view and detail view. Added BatchMkvMerge to the welcome page with localized descriptions and a GitHub link. Added a portable 7z archive to the Windows release artifacts. Improved first-run language selection by detecting the system language and saving it to configuration. Updated Italian translations.

    • Microsoft making much needed change to Windows 11, 10 Patch Tuesday security updates

      Someone forgot to mention EDR in the title ? I think I will not click anymore on the articles written by this author. All are click bait.
    • Should Microsoft be forced to stop promoting Edge over other browsers?

      By FBSPL · Posted

      Browser vendors including Chrome, Firefox, Brave, and Vivaldi have jointly written an open letter to Microsoft saying enough is enough regarding Edge being pushed on Windows users without consent. Microsoft makes it difficult to change the default browser, promotes Edge throughout Windows 11, and has made the uninstall process unnecessarily complicated compared to other apps. Does anyone have more details on what exactly the open letter demands and whether any regulatory action is being considered? Also curious whether this could lead to antitrust investigations similar to what happened with Internet Explorer back in the day. Would love to hear from anyone following this closely.
