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!

    • I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.
    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.
    • Wino Mail -> Microsoft Outlook (the new one). Link: https://github.com/bkaankose/Wino-Mail Just sayin.
    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
