Sorry to report but the Featuring who podcast has come to an end. Mainly because of 3 reasons.

1) Nobody actively wanted to be on the show.

2) 1/2 the people that were invited turned it down.

3) Quite a few of the people that actually accepted could never record. After given multiple opportunities.

It was fun while it lasted but hey ya never know, you might see me back in a new podcast in the future. Though I can assume it will be either a 1 or 2 man show with no interviews.

If you want to download the 8 episodes that were produced you can do so for a little while longer as my membership has been canceled for file droppler but it shouldn't take in effect until next month.

The Rss Feed and the Itunes has been canceled and probably already don't work.

This does not effect the upcoming interview with Neobond and Redmak called "The Birth of Neowin"

The questions have been submitted to both and I'm waiting to hear back for a time to record.

I hate to limit the guest to only people in the United States but the time difference makes it really hard to record as we usually record them at night. If you think you are someone who is a night owl and available during those hours, then shoot me a message, otherwise, sorry.

I agree, cool idea. It seems like you put a lot of effort into it. One suggestion though, some bumper or background music! It sounds like I'm eavesdropping on a telephone conversation (I guess in a way, I am). There are copyright free loops online, for example, to play softly in the background, or at the beginning.

Just listening to the first (or is it second?) episode with Aly Moore. Is she a Neowin person?

Listening to the DX10 / DX11 discussion right now. Nobody mentioned that LOTRO uses DX10 and looks ever more brilliant than it does with DX9 :)

Oh, and the AntiSpyware company was GIANT Anti-spyware. As a power user I kind of liked how it told me everytime something changed on my system. But it did spam you an awful lot with messages that were usually useless.

Windows Defender built on that technology but basically has no UI at all unless something is wrong (in fact, I've never actually seen it come up on Vista, I guess I'd have to install some spyware first).

And for the gun discussion... it is very difficult to shoot a moving target, even one that's just several feet away. It takes a lot of training to have even a fair chance of hitting one, and if the shooter is moving too, well, good luck with that.

    • Celebrating Windows XP's 25th anniversary this year

      By carols23 · Posted

      If I could, I would commemorate it the best way possible: Replacing old machines that are still running Windows XP with something more modern, stable and better.     Noone and nothing should be running Windows XP in 2026.
    • Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Google's new hand-wave reCAPTCHA can be bypassed with a stock photo by Ivan Jenic Image: Screenshot Google is testing a new reCAPTCHA method that asks you to wave at your camera to prove you're human. So, besides solving puzzles and reading distorted text, you can now use your computer’s camera to pass the verification test. When the hand gesture verification is triggered, your browser asks for camera access and prompts you to perform a simple gesture, like a wave or an open palm. Google says it records a short video of the movement and uses AI to extract 21 hand-knuckle coordinates to complete the verification process. The video is then immediately deleted, and Google swears it doesn't keep it. The process alone can be uncomfortable for people who wouldn’t want their biometric data, which hand scans technically qualify as, recorded. But it gets even more nuanced, as early testers discovered that the new hand-waving reCAPTCHA can be passed with a simple stock image. A user on X tested the new challenge using a stock image of a hand fed through OBS Virtual Camera, and it passed. I wanted to verify it, so I tried the same thing. It took me a few tries and a few stock images, but in the end, I was also able to pass the test. I simply had to readjust the stock image of a generic person waving inside OBS, and Google’s mechanism registered it as a legitimate hand gesture. Once again, it didn’t even have to be a video or an AI-generated hand animation. Given the simplicity of the process, the entire action can be automated in minutes. All it takes is a simple Python script to render the new reCAPTCHA method obsolete. And it doesn’t even have to be an AI bot, which is usually used for solving puzzles and other verification methods. The new reCAPTCHA method is still in its early phase, and Google will, hopefully, update its AI to at least reject still images. However, this incident, combined with users’ initial skepticism about Google’s practices regarding user data, likely won’t make too many people wave at the camera anytime soon.

    • Microsoft Edge gets tons of security features, including AI model that can see your screen

      Apparently not. I know it is on Edge for business at the moment, but how long will it be before it become on the home version of Edge?
