Neowin Impulse, making money aside from Ads


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

Stardock launched Impulse on the 17th of June and Neowin has its own version of the online shop too.

If you use the Neowin executable then anything you purchase from it means we will get some sort of commission reward as a result of the purchase :)

So we finally have a way to make some money aside from Advertising revenue and the subscriber package.

See the press release here: https://www.neowin.net/news/main/08/06/17/s...igital-platform and link to download it here: http://storage.stardock.com/files/Impulse_setup_Neowin.exe

Thanks for your support!

I used that installer, logged in with my Stardock.net account, and... where's the Neowin logo? Doesn't seem to be any. (One of the screenshots on the front page story had it there instead of the generic Stardock orb.)

Congrats Neobond hope much success comes from it! I'm a bit stumped how come you never joined up Amazon Associates. There are enough products mentioned in the forums to generate a lot of keywords. It would not violate Google TOS and I believe it would be a great success to this site.

Congratulations and good luck with it.

Now a mac platform.

That's what we need, Valve does not offer yet a steam mac platform, but I don't think Impulse will make a difference, because stardock is only dedicated to the Windows platform, they don't have a single product for mac so I doubt they will do it.

Impulse doesn't just host Stardock products, so hopefully they'll see an opening for increasing the market = increasing sales and exclusivity deals.

I like impulse and im using it as basically my application/game launcher for everything, havent bought anything yet though but probably will do in the future.

    • Surprise! We still can't get it right. With the current state of AI, the crappy software, the huge mega-corporations that back all of these idiot things, I think we are a very long way away from SAE Level 5. I, for one, will never get in one.
    • Nice. September/October GA?! I'll keep following it, but won't install any preview or beta versions.
    • Wow, that could have been dangerous, certainly not ready for these things. They have to be 100% or pretty well close to it. Not that I will see one i doubt, never mind ride in one, they may have them in London, but I doubt they will come to where I live.
    • Nothing kills CMF Phone 2 Pro's successor due to rising memory prices by Hamid Ganji Storage and RAM prices have been rising over the past year, leading to a significant increase in the cost of electronics for customers around the world. Many companies are now revising their plans for upcoming devices due to higher component costs and overall production expenses. CMF is the latest company to cancel the successor to one of its best-selling phones due to rising memory prices. CMF is a sub-brand of Nothing and focuses on making budget smartphones for growing markets. The brand launched the CMF Phone 2 Pro last year with some eye-catching specifications and an affordable price. While many customers may have been waiting for a successor this year, one of the company’s executives has announced that CMF will not release a new smartphone this year. And AI is to blame. As Nothing co-founder Akis Evangelidis announced on X, the company has been working on a successor to the CMF Phone 2 Pro, but with current memory prices, it cannot “build a phone that feels like a genuine step forward at a price that makes sense for CMF.” So, no new CMF phone will be launched this year. Meanwhile, Evangelidis said the company still has several new products in the pipeline, including some in entirely new categories. He added that the Nothing brand will also continue launching new products through 2026. Budget smartphones are among the first victims of the surge in RAM and memory prices, as they have become more expensive to build. The sharp increase in memory costs could also reshape the traditional price ranges associated with budget phones. Apple CEO Tim Cook also recently said that price increases for some of the company’s products are unavoidable because RAM and memory have become significantly more expensive this year. Analysts estimate that the base price of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $1,399 due to current market shortages.
    • Nudge me when they bring back hardware audio acceleration so I can get my EAX 5 back. We've evolved graphics to real-time path tracing, but regressed audio some 15 years back in time with this stupid software audio stack.
