iLife 06: iPhoto – A Review
This year’s update to iPhoto is a substantial one. Apple has worked hard, improving current features, and also introducing some cool new features.
Upfront, the notable change you will see when launching iPhoto 6 is the interface. The interface now matches that of iTunes 6, which looks very smooth and attractive. It has a soft touch of blue in the sidebar where your albums reside, and the rest of the interface has a nice aqua edge too it.
Faster Loading
One of the heavily marketed features in the new iPhoto is the major speed enhancement. When you open iPhoto your photos now load considerably faster. Scrolling through your photo library is also a much speedier experience. iPhoto now has the ability to store and organize up to 250,000 images, so the speed incensement will be dearly loved by those with larger photo libraries.
Photocasting
Apple’s brand new feature to iPhoto, Photocasting has been talked about a lot among Mac fanatics. Photocasting allows .Mac members to share photos anywhere, anytime, all around the world.
When you click on an image, you can click the Photocast button, and it will publish the image to your .Mac account, along with automatically creating an RSS feed which others can subscribe to and view your images.
Once your Photocasting RSS feed is created, friends or family can subscribe to the feed directly through iPhoto, or if they use a Windows computer, the images can be viewed through any RSS reader.

Apple’s recently released iPod 5G is a huge step towards media domination in the technology industry. With the new iPod 5G’s ability to store and play up to 150 hours of high quality video on the small player, this is an exciting new innovation for Apple and music fans. The downside of the new iPod 5G, is that video needs to be in a specific format, and a specific screen size to play on the iPod. Otherwise the video capability is useless.
