Neowin iChat Buddies :D


Recommended Posts

Yeah Proteus has always costed money V2 was $10 V3 is now $15 or free if you'd already bought V2.

yea, but when i used v2 i never had to pay, did it run out after 30 days or have limitations or something? cause i didnt use it for that long... I know they wanted you to pay but did they restrict versions or something>? now im curious :)

I think it runs for like 30days without any notices, then after the 30days every once in a while you'll get a dialog asking you to buy it (which you can close)

this was true with v2, i'm not 100% sure about v3.

Hope that helps

good to know thanks, well im using ichat av atm anyway so i wont have to worry about it :)

Hmmm couple of ichat questions.

1) can i add a username without them being added to my address book?

2) how can I rename someone. I want to change some names to what their neowin username is so I know who they are.

To rename someone type their name in the Get Info thing on the buddy list (or when you're adding a new contact), but that requires them on your address book I beleive.

Hey Superfula! ummm... OK, 1st.

Address book will create a Contact, as soon as you create one in iChat, but if i remember correctly, if you delete the Contact from the Address book, it will remain deleted, but your iChat buddylist isn't directly affected. I am not sure tho, if you can have a "Custom name" instead of their AIM names, if there's no Address Book Contact file. Try it... i would, but i don't want to lose people in the process :p

Renaming someone?... Well, If you have them as a contact in Address Book (which it does automatically) you can do it via that. Or Control click the username on iChat, and use the Get Info Window! ;)

Here's my iChat window .. i added the Apple Graphic, which makes life easier for me, to work out who is who ... Cuz the grouping is kinda a pain, and could easily get mucked up!

    • Those people that come over here on boats are already in a safe country, if they want to come over here then do so correctly though the right channels. I was born in the U.K, my family that came over here came so via the proper means. My partner came here via the correct channels, she also became a British citizen, she knows more about this country than most of them that was born here, including myself, she worked hard to do what she does. She will stick up for this country and have done a few times, when people from her own part of world have put the U.K down. We are not going to agree, all I said to start with is that maybe Trump has the right idea with this America first thing and maybe we should start doing the same. Maybe not as drastic as what he is doing, but we do need to sort this country out, we need to sort out tech instead of relying on the U.S and others. Again you have not shown why you are so annoyed that we have left the E.U and this is what it is all about? If you don't live in the U.K and live in the E.U are you annoyed that we left your little club? If you live in the U.K and is pro-E.U, then fair enough then I can see how it annoys you. Are you one of these people who lives in the U.K and have a holiday chalet in the E.U and can now only stay there for so long? If so, then that is bad luck. As I have posted before, I have no problem with people coming here to work, as long as they do if via the proper channels. We are out of the E.U, people voted out, and maybe if more people had voted instead of sitting on their backsides the results would have been different. But they like the E.U and our government thought no we would not vote to leave. How wrong they were, surprised me. I expected to wake up in the morning and hear on the radio that we voted to stay. As I said, we are out and have been for 10 years, we are not going to go back in anytime soon if we ever do, so we all need to make the best of how things are. Anyway, this is supposed to be a tech site.
    • Tim Cook: "The US over time began to stop having as many vocational kinds of skills." What's the point of wasting time getting those skills if you can't get a job with them? Good Lord, maybe he and his cohort of CEO's who exported all these jobs to China should just shut the f**k up :D
    • I made a new Cinematic/Trailer for the game, this will be the intro, still a work in progress!  I also updated the Steam page with a ton of new screenshots! 👀 https://store.steampowered.com/app/3925340/Incoherence_Dark_Rooms/  
    • Closed-loop cooling and a custom 800G network protocol let the $7.3B campus run as one AI training machine. Microsoft confirmed June 23, 2026, that its Fairwater campus in Mount Pleasant, Wisconsin, is fully operational — and the engineering behind it makes the facility something fundamentally different from every data center that came before it. Where conventional cloud infrastructure racks up general-purpose servers and parcels out workloads to each one independently, Fairwater links hundreds of thousands of NVIDIA GB200 Blackwell GPUs into a single, coherent cluster using a two-story building design, 800-gigabit-per-second Ethernet fabric, and a proprietary networking protocol co-developed with OpenAI and NVIDIA. The result, according to Microsoft, is the closest thing to a purpose-built AI supercomputer that any company has ever placed in commercial operation. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/319205/20260627/microsoft-opens-fairwater-wisconsin-ai-campus-runs-one-supercomputer-via-800g-ethernet.htm
