No audio? No video? PIECE OF CRAAAP!

man, why doesn't every app warn you when you're running it off the disk image?

"No audio? No video? PIECE OF CRAAAP!"

It's open source, so why don't you show us all how easy it is to add those features.

"• You can arrange your tabs on any side of the message view, not just the bottom. Tabs are arranged vertically when you put them on the left or right edge of the window and horizontally when you put them on the top or bottom.
• Tabs handle overflow better by presenting a chevron (») menu, just like toolbars do."

FINALLY! Those two things were my top two pet peeves about Adium. Now if only they could fix the transfer speed...

adium rocks! definitely the best IM client

Here! Here! Who ever can manage to integrate all these services into an IM cross-app application, integrated w/audio and video will come out on top. skype for some telephony, ichat for video, yahoo IM and MSN because some people can't or won't switch or understand the benefits - it's a mess... audium has some interesting features but it misses the mark.

Version 1.1 has a bug that causes it to crash on launch for some users. Version 1.1.1 should be available shortly. See the blog here for details: http://www.adiumx.com/blog/

That's the Mac for you.. it sucks.

@macsuxx: no, you sux. You sux bigtime. How pathetic is it that you and your sore right-hand hang out and troll a Mac site?

Very pathetic.

MDN: purpose - as in you have NO purpose macsuxx (ass)

People like macsuxx are just pleasant reminders that we still need to work on bettering our gene pool.

MDN: Please don't assume that we know what a program is or does. And don't assume that we want to follow every link. Your goal is to become all the news we need without going elsewhere. But if I don't know what Adium is, your article would not tell me enough. Thanks.

Oh, so just because it's open source, it can't have great features like audio and video? That's why open source will never be the rule, they can't compete, something is always missing. That's why nobody uses Linux.

Why not include audio and video and charge 10 dollars for it?

But is it glossy?
It must be glossy.

@ TMF, Glossy? why not Flossy! as in iCandy Flossy or
Lossy! as in Lossless Lossy.
Nay, chuck in Bossy! as in The Boss Nose best which leads me to, Nossy as in don't stick your nose in my Glossy Bossness (business)!
I don't like nose prints on my iCandy Flossy Glossy!!!:-)

@ Twisted Mac Freak:
why not translucent, glossy, and black?
then it'll become as ugly as the new iMac.

To Crabapple & Dolita:
Nice! We do need a Poetry Corner. Although, Iamb leaning towards the Green Eggs & Ham style from Crabapple.

The big change in this version is that they dropped support for Panther. That annoys me.

As for those complaining about the lack of voice and video, you show just how immature you are. If you knew anything about multi-protocol IM clients, you'd know how difficult these things are to get up and going. Stop whining and do something about it, shut up, or go on demonstrating to the whole world what a 12-year-old you really are.

I wish these auto-updaters in various applications would check to see of the OS supports the application. I downloaded the update last night and installed but couldn't get it to work. Checked the requirements and 10.3.x is no longer supported. Bummer. That said, Adium is my favourite IM app next to Pidgin itself.

What's sad is the first thing kids do on their Macs is download msn to chat with their buddies. Even worse, they want to run pc apps for I-dunno-what. As someone said, Kids is [sic] the future, man. Watch 'em!
