Purple, pink and orange have been added to the front page.

I'm going to get some sleep and tomorrow I'll finish them for the forums :p

:sleep:

Wow, the new pink theme is much nicer than the last. Thanks, gigapixels :) Not that I'll be using the pink theme, of course :p

Holy cr*p! First I thought you were on high or something. But then I took a look at your topics ( https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/862938-how-do-i-make-windows-look-good/page__p__592076264__fromsearch__1entry592076264 ) and there it was the glorious testimony for your technical knowledge, or should I say common sense.

Hahaha, that was epic. Thanks for that. Even the post in here was great to read. OTT and completely without knowledge.

Back on topic, I like the new design. I wasn't too keen the first time round, but now that I know where to go to access things it makes sense. Although since I've always used the default theme when viewing this site, using any of the other themes doesn't feel right.

Slight thing I've found though, not sure if it's just me. With Atlas 2 - Blue, the main page's drop down menus seem to have the wrong font colour going on. It makes it difficult to read the different selections available. I'll post a screenshot later if I can recreate the problem on my home computer.

Scene's in the forum would be nice :)

@Chasethebase Try clearing your cache.

+1. I've been wanting that since Atlas first launched actually.

Do you guys use Firefox?

I use stylish and with a simple script have the forum the same width as the front page, and have the Scene on both, so going between them is far nicer when only the site below the header changes. :D

Just noticed the Darkside theme is updated (been away from Neowin for most of today).

The new darkside looks great, better than the old one (I still like the old darkside over any of the other forum themes, but the new one looks even better).

Thanks for getting it updated quickly.

Minor bug in Darkside: (delete my vote)

Also why not the same green hover effect on links like the default atlas2?

Thanks, I'll fix it ASAP.

And I'm not sure about the green. Timan designed it, so he's the one that decided on the colors :p

Gieeeff meee pink! :heart:

It's coming, don't worry :D

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft's aggressive roadmap to deliver a commercial quantum supercomputer by 2029 has now hit a bit of a snag, and it's not because of a complex sub-zero dilution refrigerator, but rather because of a few lines of basic Python code. A new critique published in the scientific journal Nature argues that simple software errors effectively manufactured the breakthrough that Microsoft's foundational research claimed back in 2025 into Majorana-based topological qubits. Topological quantum computing, the path that Microsoft chose for its research, relies on creating and controlling "Majorana zero modes." These are exotic quasiparticles that theoretically offer vastly superior error resistance compared to the highly sensitive superconducting qubits currently being championed by rivals like Google and IBM. However, physically proving you have created these particles requires sifting through massive amounts of complex electrical conductance data to isolate a specific "topological gap." Because of the sheer volume of data, physicists rely heavily on custom software pipelines to process the results. This is where the Python scripts come in. Now, according to the critique, Microsoft’s data processing software contained fundamental programming errors that ultimately skewed the published results. By mishandling data arrays or deploying incorrect logic within the Python script, the software supposedly discarded "noisy" or contradictory data. Which is why it only highlighted the specific electrical measurements that supported the topological-gap claim. The researchers behind the critique argued that this makes the findings invalid, suggesting the heralded "quantum leap" was actually a false positive generated by bad code and not a product of groundbreaking physics. However, Microsoft is pushing back hard against these allegations. The Redmond giant has formally rejected the criticism, saying that it's just a minor anomaly rather than a fatal flaw. According to the company, while there may have been a minor oversight in the data parsing scripts, it does not alter the fundamental reality of their physical experiment. Just weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum processor, a milestone so significant that the company boldly accelerated its timeline for a commercial quantum supercomputer from 2035 down to 2029. But the new software allegations reopen an old wound. Microsoft's quantum division faced a remarkably similar crisis when a landmark 2018 paper on Majorana particles was famously retracted in 2021 after independent physicists discovered the data had been inappropriately cropped. That historical baggage makes the current Python-related allegations particularly sensitive. If the foundational math and data processing for the 2025 breakthrough are genuinely flawed, the highly anticipated 2029 commercial timeline could easily be delayed or, worse, cancelled.
