ill be puttin one on my new screenie

yeah i bet...

I bet its just a desktop background with a picture of a dock on it...

and DeadZombie, dont tell me you let documents have it (if it's real), you dont know who he really is...

and it has real mouseover effects, real taskbar capabilities, and sorry, it's an @$$ thing for me to do, but I can't say anything more about this because I promised.

I can say however that a different, new dockbar is in the works that will be fully functional and, more importantly, call out to it's own custom icon library so it maintains a really high graphical quality.

I'm thinking a 3-4 month beta period prior to release, at least a month before the first betas come out.

Patience.

A MONTH!! oh man, that is such a disappointment...

I know your working on an Aqua dock for Aqua-soft aren't you?

it's there to get you excited and make you wet yourself. patience is a virtue they say. good things come to those who wait...

So I gather you're in on this then Disciple??

Man, you guys at aqua-soft are such a tease...

So if you don't know it, and Timan don't know it, who does? I thought he'd tell one of you 2. Unless you're all just playing with us and were all in on it...

Deadzombie, Cant you just tell us what its coded in, You've said its not flash, vb, desktop x etc. That doesn't leave many.

[edit]Ok, I give i'll stop nagging. BUT, i want to know, is this better then the things we've tried like Aquadock, desktopX docks and the flash dock?[/edit]

trust me...i don't know anything and i'm not just playing with you. that would be cruel. my theories are that it's either jef, drakon, timan, or someone else working on it since me, deadzombie, and everyone else are not coders. but what it is or who it is that is working on what has been kept such a secret that i don't even know. someone must have told deadzombie but i couldn't tell you who b/c i don't even know. it kind of upsets me too but i guess time will tell and there's no reason to get upset b/c it'll come when it's ready to come. i'd like to beta test it since it sounds like it might be coming out of aqua-soft but i don't even get to be part of that. we'll just have to see.

what I show on that desktop pic could have been better, and some people thought it would be, but it probably never will be.

It's just a tease; 1/2 functioning, looking good (the mouseover is awesome) but almost no functionality.

I am helping a friend on a new dock, so there will be a new dock that mimics what we all want exactly - with a few additions so we don't have Apple down our backs.

Dazzla - where do you find your wallpapers -> most of yours rock...

    • I hope this encodes in to AV1 or AV2 as currently tiktok uses h265 and h264.
    • Qualcomm reportedly in talks to build custom video chips for TikTok parent ByteDance by Karthik Mudaliar Qualcomm is reportedly in advanced discussions to provide custom chip-design services to Chinese tech giant ByteDance, the same company behind TikTok. According to a report from Reuters, Qualcomm could be involved in designing custom silicon tailored for ByteDance's massive data-center workloads. If it goes through, the deal would make ByteDance one of Qualcomm's early anchor customers for its fastly growing custom chip-design division, For years, Qualcomm was the king of making smartphone processors and modems. The company has also been moving into the PC ecosystem and other formats such as on-device AI for Android XR headsets. However, this particular deal is about Qualcomm's custom Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs). For a platform like TikTok, ByteDance needs hardware that can help it ingest, process, and serve billions of short-form videos daily. Generalised hardware is no longer the most cost-effective and efficient route, which is why ByteDance is trying to develop custom Video Processing Units (VPUs). VPUs designed specifically for ByteDance’s algorithmic needs could drastically reduce data-center power consumption and improve encoding speeds at an unprecedented scale. The underlying tech behind these processors is actually from Qualcomm's recent acquisition of AlphaWave Semi, a high-speed connectivity specialist company. By combining AlphaWave’s high-bandwidth IP with Qualcomm’s architectural expertise, the company could begin mass production by the end of 2026, if the talks go through. All this also comes at a time when U.S.-China tech relations have dwindled. Escalating trade frictions between Washington and Beijing have severely impacted the export of high-end AI chips from U.S. firms like Nvidia, AMD, and Lam Research. Yet, the Qualcomm-ByteDance discussions show that U.S. tech companies are still actively seeking growth avenues and are open to doing business with China, where regulators still permit. Reuters notes that the outcome of this deal could be uncertain, and ByteDance might also seek partners other than Qualcomm. via Reuters | Image via DepositPhotos.com
