Wave 11 Live for Windows Live Messenger is coming soon.

its based on my old wave 11 skin. http://riangelo.deviantart.com/art/Wave-11...er-7-0-18869410

You are an absolute joke!

Wave 11 is not your skin, it was made by theunknown and I, Fizical (i've changed my name on neowin). You have completely ripped us off.

this is not about the mac skin, I'm more disappointed with your post on DA. You make no reference to the fact that theunknown and i put this together and you claim it as your own skin. you even said here "it is based on my old wave 11 skin". you mocked it up yes but you definitely didn't make it. Im sure I remember crediting you for your contribution of resources, you could have been decent enough to do the same rather than portray others work as your own. I don't think that is much to ask. this is all in reference to your DA msn 7 skin.

I don't see any credits to me in the wave 11 installer.

And neither in the Black ice skin description which i helped on.

But if it's really a problem for you I'll put your name in the description. :)

I was expecting the same in the wave 11 installer but i was wrong.

The original wave 11 was made by theunknown and if i remember correctly he had made this skin originally without any design or mock-up from you. The only way your design varied from publically available as the wave 11 leaked shots out of microsoft was the gradients which he later incorporated. Despite that, here is me crediting you for the design in a release thread:

http://forum.mess.be/index.php?showtopic=13253

Whatever went into the installer was not my doing as theunknown made all those but we usually tried to mention credits in release threads on forums. I still believe it is much worse to claim a skin made by others as your own work. I don't care about skinning anymore but i do find it cheeky when people do what you have done. releasing the exact same skin that we made under your own name and claiming it is yours is just plain cheeky and lazy.

I'm done with this topic now, i don't care if you change your DA post or anything and we don't need or want any credits if you make a new wave 11 skin off your own work completely. As i said i don't have a problem with this mac skin, it is the DA skin that bugs me.

can you please stop sending messages in private and on here... stop the duplicates please. use one method or the other.

sigh you just don't get it. in your original link to the wave 11 skin (not this one you have just produced) which has over 50,000 downloads you made no mention of theunknown, not a scrap. We did give you permission to post on DA but it would not have been without linking to our then functional site and crediting theunknown. we had a strict rule about linking to our site and we only allowed mess.be to host our file on their server.

Your first (earlier version of msn) wave 11 post on DA was credited, but when the update was released later on you made no mention of it. So i believe we would have checked your original posting of DA and see you had credited theunknown and left it at that, then you went and put the update on there but we never knew you had left off any credits.

as for the wave 11 idea, it was based off a public available design from microsoft, many people had thrown together mocks and so had we. i remember talking about this with the unknown because we were looking for skin ideas and we already had thought to make the wave 11 style skin and were taking steps towards that, including designing one, then your idea with the gradients came in through your mockup and we adapted to that. i had wanted to make the other leaked wave11 style skin before you popped up which is what i had been working on. it eventually became the wave 11 shiro version from memory as we tried to make sure it was different from wave 11 itself. it was something we had been working on before you came alone. but no doubt you gave a great contribution to it.

now lets drop it please and if you need to continue this then pm is probably more appropriate.

    • Microsoft will finally let you sign in to Edge with a Google account

      "it opens up new doors for people who prefer using Edge, but cannot be bothered to configure a Microsoft account" You already have a Microsoft account if you are using Windows 11, because you can't set it up without one.
    • This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      This is how much iPhone 18 Pro could cost after Apple's price hike confirmed by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple Apple CEO Tim Cook confirmed in a recent interview that the company may have to raise prices on some of its products due to the ongoing memory shortage. While he did not elaborate on the scale of the price hikes, new estimates suggest that Pro iPhone models could become significantly more expensive this fall. The Wall Street Journal and research firm TechInsights have come up with an educated estimate of how much the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro could cost after its launch in September. The estimate is based on current increases in memory and storage chip prices. For starters, the iPhone 18 Pro base model is expected to feature 12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage. According to TechInsights estimates, 12GB of DRAM for the iPhone 17 Pro cost Apple $39 last year. However, for the iPhone 18 Pro, the cost of the same amount of DRAM could soar to $145. Likewise, 256GB of flash storage that previously cost $13 could now cost around $51. Producing a base iPhone 17 Pro reportedly cost Apple around $582, but TechInsights estimates that the production cost of the iPhone 18 Pro could rise to $726. If Apple wants to maintain the roughly 47% profit margin it enjoys on the iPhone 17 Pro, the base price of the iPhone 18 Pro would need to reach $1,371. After standard pricing adjustments, customers could end up paying around $1,299 for the base model. However, that may not be the end of the story. As we previously reported, the iPhone 18 Pro is said to feature a variable-aperture lens, which could cost Apple at least 50% more than the current camera system. The estimated $1,299 price tag does not include the additional cost of this upgraded camera hardware. Once that expense is factored in, the base model could cost at least $1,399. A $1,399 price tag for the base iPhone 18 Pro would represent a significant increase over the current $1,099 starting price of the iPhone 17 Pro. If Apple wants to keep its upcoming iPhones competitive, it may need to accept lower profit margins.

    • 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.
