New Apple Software Products?


Recommended Posts

Before I give the load of stuff that apple rep told me, I want to share something with you. "I Hate Apple"

Now, I was at the apple store today. I needed to get my powerbook fixed [again] :x . I had the chance to play with the G5 and all the other stuff their, then i ran in to this cute rep lady which i was trying to flirt with. It didn't go that well, Then i just asked her "what is apple previewing on 28" she told me that apple, will be bring a lot of their powerpc software to mac. Mostly Pro software so they can preplace PowerMac's next. So what i hear is Mac Mini will be the last thing to go to intel... Odd but she said that Mac mini's are still sellings like crazy. Now, I believe this is news...

last time i went to an apple store the workers didn't even know that a universal dock for the ipod existed.

i love apple products, but i don't even talk to the workers in those stores let alone believe anything they say.

I have to agree with you... When I went to apple store to look at Powerbooks, [before I started hating mac's] the lady told me that Powerbooks are the best their is... The best at crashing!!!

At any rate. I was told the same thing from my friend who works for apple. So, she is correct.

usually apple is so secretive about their plans. so i guess since this is at one of their HQs instead of a bigger venue and invites were sent out so last minute it really isn't a big event. it just seems so un-apple to tell store employees what's going on ahead of time.

"fun, new products" does not mean updates to the pro software...although that could be an additional part of what is released on the 28th.

There is something else going on. Guarenteed.

Thought the universal binaries were gonna come out a few months later or was it March?.

Radish?

Ok, Here is a funny story... When Apple cameout with intel, I thought they went intel 100% like PowerBook Intel, PowereMac Intel etc. Well as everyone know, it never happened but I did try to buy something that wasn't out yet. The apple sales person had told me I should get a MacBook Pro, I was like why!? like why should i, I hate you guys anything... Before i could as anything like that, she told me that Pro software is due for march. So you are right:). :)

It was mentioned in the Key Note by Steve and it's also On the Pro's website...the conversion to U.B is due in March, so I wouldn't really be suprised if Apple push that out..

Actually, now that the Pro software are out, I'm just waiting on Adobe to jump on the band wagon so I can get a MacBook Pro...:happy:

Exactly, the people working there don't know anything of Apple's future plans nor do they have acces to unreleased stuff.

They know things the second we know things. The only hints they get is like "hold all current iMac models and expect new shipments" for example.

PLEASE stop with the I hate apple comments. It has gone past annoying and we really do not want to have to read that every time you post some sort of apple related news and or comment. Thank You.

If it is just going to be a bunch of software updates I am going to be highly depressed. It cant just be software updates though.

Well the news from the past 2 weeks have said that apple might be bring out a real ipod and cellphone... so don't be sad, be mad!

Not as much as you will be (Y)

It adds nothing to the conversation so it is appreciated.

I would love to see a real ipod/cellphone. Would be interesting to see what they would come up with.

I was odd ball that found iphone.org and then started digg it. Its odd because apple owned that domain in 1999 and 2006... I think they are trying to plan for next year many... To early to bring out a iPhone...

.org? That would make no sense whatsoever. Someone just falsified the WHOIS info.

So is it safe to say that here-say is actually considered Back Page News these days?

Sorry to be such a stickler, but I come to this section for concrete news... not to read second hand speculation from an Apple rep reported by an admitted Apple hater.

If you hate Apple so much then why are you persisting with them? Why not just cut your losses and buy something else?

so what happenend? where are the pro tools? where you lying? was the rep lying? YES.... as everyone with even the tiniest insight into apple knows..... REPS know jack all when it comes to future releases. My mum has a better idea than a apple sales rep.

OWNED!!

:rofl:

Please go ask your "mum" what's next please. Very curious.

Please don't post immature comments. The Neowin community would appreciate it.

my point being Mr Texas, that its common knowledge that reps have nfi about what is coming out. This rep said pro tools for today and no mac mini. This made front page news (Tom Graham thought it fit to put it on the front page lol), when in fact both predictions were completely wrong.

My mum predicts iBook next to make the transition followed by Powermacs and Pro software at the same event.

Watch this space Texan!

    • Still using Classic Outlook? Microsoft highlights 15 reasons to switch to New Outlook by Usama Jawad As many of you may know, Microsoft has been trying to get customers to ditch Classic Outlook in favor of New Outlook for quite some time now. To that end, it has added numerous capabilities to the latter, including PST features, and it is working on several more, such as a unified inbox. However, customer response has been a bit lukewarm so far, with many considering the New Outlook to be "hot garbage". Now, Microsoft has highlighted 15 features that users can leverage in New Outlook in yet another attempt to get customers to migrate. Although not all of the 15 capabilities are exclusive to New Outlook, in fact, most of them are available in Classic Outlook as well. But Microsoft hopes that this combination of familiar and fresh features will be able to attract existing users as well as new ones. For ease of readability, we have summarized the 15 features below: Pin an email: This makes it easier to track important emails Snooze an email: You can temporarily snooze an email thread for a specific time frame until it becomes relevant again. This can be very useful in scenarios where you don't feel like actively following a thread or simply want to follow up on a later date Add multiple categories at the same time: You can assign multiple categories to an email through a single, simplified interface Sweep: As the name implies, you can define automated move processes on your inbox to declutter it, rather than cleaning it up manually Schedule send: Does exactly what it says on the tin, and can be useful when accommodating recipients in different timezones Simplified folder sharing: The sharing process has been simplified so permissions are automatically applied on parent folders Follow a meeting: This is an RSVP option that lets people know that you won't be able to join the meeting but would still like to access a recap Save calendar views: You can save different views for the calendar based on different workflows Improved meeting tracking: Organizers have more controls in viewing meeting responses, such as the ability to sort and download them. Typically useful when there is a large audience Meeting recap: The Outlook Calendar surfaces a meeting recap with recordings, transcripts, and shared files Filtered views: Allows you to declutter your Calendar so that it's easier to scan and schedule Change a recurring event: Users can modify future events of a series of meetings while preserving the configuration of previous ones Rename your email account: This labeling makes it easier to identify multiple accounts in Outlook Modern themes: Exactly what the name says, plus Dark Mode Keyboard shortcuts: This facilitates flexible user behavior as customers can choose between Outlook for Windows shortcuts, Outlook for the web, or turn them off completely There you have it. It's a decent list, but it remains to be seen if it will move the needle in a meaningful way for users who are attached to Classic Outlook. Again, a lot of the aforementioned features are already available in Outlook Classic, but for some, native functionality is not present, and people typically resort to workarounds. Microsoft will be hoping that it's primarily those capabilities that get people to finally switch.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.3-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close. Include only privacy respecting search engines like DuckDuckGo and Searx. Include uBlockOrigin with custom default filter lists, and Tracking Protection in strict mode, to block trackers and ads. Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more.
