'Next Generation of Apple Hardware'

Dont get too excited

I got this in email and snail mail

It also refers to the x serve. That is the next gen of hardware as far as aussie mac expo goes!!

hmmm...

I'd say this is definately talking about the new PowerMacs that will be coming out... BUT

I DO like the phrase "next generation" versus "faster" or "upgraded" or "new"

This "next generation" hints at more than just a speed bump.. perhaps the 7500 with HT or RapidIO? Dare I say G5?????

nah!

Next generation hardware != Next generation CPU

This is probably just a reference to the nex 'generation' of PowerMac hardware thats coming in on the 13th.

Where are the invitations?

5 August has come and gone.

If there is supposed to be an unveiling of new PowerMacs between now and the 24th, wouldn't we have seen the press invitations by now?

huh???

and the imac was an entirely new product for apple...

A powermac is expected and everyone knows it's coming..

I remember the iMac g3 had a big hooplah about it, .. it too was a brand new production for apple..

OMG!!! I saw this the other day and thought to myself "i wonder who will pick up on this first -- MOSR or SpyMac???"...

I cannot believe that this is being taken at all seriously. If you have had any dealings with Apple Australia whatsoever you would already be aware that they are all a bunch of incompetent dolts. But for those of you who have had no dealings with them yet... APPLE AUSTRALIA ARE THE MOST STUPID, ANNOYING, INCOMPETENT, IGNORANT GROUP OF PPL YOU COULD POSSIBLY FIND.

Considering the fact that only 2 ppl on the senior management team at Apple Australia actually use Macs (yes, the rest use wintel, none use *nix), I seriously doubt anyone at Apple Australia would have a clue about what hardware apple sells currently, let alone what's coming up. Even if Cupertino did let Sydney in on what's upcoming, not even the dolts in Apple Australia management would let a lowly webmaster know what's coming out...

I will be attending the Melbourne event... Anyone else going? Let me know.

welldone apple.au , its about time they did somethign apple, since they skimp on everything, I would love to go see it, Apple.au have to be the worst country on apple, they get nothing compared to australias iize , but I guess on population its fair enough, Only 19.5million people

Oh yes, and i forgot to mention:

APPLE AUSTRALIA SELLS LESS MACS IN THE ENTIRE COUNTRY vs. SAN FRANCISCO METRO (that's right -- excl. bay area)!!!!!

hey j763 – i'll be there... we could, like, you know...


teehee.

whoa!!! take it somewhere else!!!!

sounds interesting

I guess we'll find out at the end of this month if we're getting a "next generation" machine huh? It sounds interesting...

I couldn't agree more!! I am surprised how many macrumor dwellers live in australia. Its amazing that apple is still in existence down here. If you want a lesson in how to destroy a company in 3 seconds flat, arrange a meeting with apple australia and they will let you in on all the key concepts.

If it weren't for the product and the fanatically loyal apple users, you would have to ship your mac into australia on your own. Apple would be looong gone down under.

The typo in the quote in question is another example of their complete incompetence.

Wintel boxes at apple australia !!! If true, what a disgrace- but it explains a lot........

Yep I already registered for this too - am going to the Sydney event.

Also got this as im a registered dev.

Dear Developer,

The Apple Developer Connection is pleased to invite developers who
are new to Mac OS X to attend a free Mac OS X Tech Talk in either
Sydney or Melbourne near the end of this month.

Tech Talks are designed for developers who wish to learn more
about Mac OS X's standards-based development architecture. Several
topics will be covered, including:

* Mac OS X Technology Overview - Investigate the structure of
Mac OS X and the range of development options it offers. You'll
learn about Darwin (the UNIX-based, open source core of
platform), plus Mac OS X's powerful graphics technologies,
development frameworks, and eye-catching "Aqua" user interface.

* Porting to Mac OS X - Find out how quickly you can port Java and
UNIX-based applications to Mac OS X. You'll also learn ways to
extend Java and Unix applications by accessing native services.

* Java Support in Mac OS X - Explore Mac OS X's robust
implementation of Sun's Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE).
You'll learn how to use the JFC/Swing API to give your
application the "Aqua" look-and-feel, plus details on the Java
HotSpot virtual machine, familiar development tools, and much
more.

* Cocoa Development Overview - Discover how to create full-featured
applications that use a lot less code with Cocoa, Mac OS X's
object-oriented framework for rapid application development.

And next up to bat is Macette. She used to bat for the other team but now it appears that she may have become a 'switch' hitter

Good to see you back around here.

$0.02, and a map

After checking out the page, it seems to be regular media hype to me. '...latest in ... hardware and software solutions' could mean AppleWorks on an eMac. But who knows for sure...

G4scott: How's this?

"We do not inherit the land from our ancestors"
"We borrow it from our children"

J763, what the HELL are you talkin about? I work at an AppleCentre in Perth and just got back from Sydney where they had a major chunk of Apple guys there to train 120 of us AppleCentre guys on the Xserve. This was a 2 day event paid for by Apple, including flights, 5 star accom, etc. Apple wouldnt waste that kinda money if it didnt think it worthwhile. The Apple guys DO NOT all use wintel, thats crap, and alot of them DO know how to run UNIX. In the hands on sessions, we had to get into the console on an iBook hooked into 12 Xserves in a rack via gigabit switch or airport and configure them all, plus numerous other exercises. Several times I had to get their help, and they all seemed pretty clued in on it. Im sorry, but get your facts straight before you put this kind of crap on the net. I specially went to the trouble of registering specifically to point out the crap youve spread. You may have a problem with Apple for some reason, but dont just prattle off misinformation!
