If you have an iPhone, then by now you should know that it tracks you. Apple doesn’t do anything with this data, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t. Thanks to some easy to use programs, you can not only see where you’ve been over the past year on a map, you may even be able to see where you took pictures. Peter Burkimsher has written an AppleScript app simply called iPhoneGeotag. It takes your location file and applies that data to your iPhoto Library where the timestamps match. Brilliant!

iPhoto ’09 doesn’t really seem that different from ’08, but that’s because ’08 was already a great program. This version brings some pretty interesting features, namely Faces and Places. I think it’s highly likely that these two features alone are what is driving sales on iLife ’09. Do you need either of these features? The practical answer, probably not. The real answer? Of course you do.

I finally got my copy of iLife ’09 (thanks to the weather), and the first thing I’m going to do is play around with iPhoto. Why don’t you join me? The very first thing you’ll stumble upon after you install and launch iPhoto ’09 is a welcome screen. iPhoto ’09 will recommend that you go to a special web page to watch some tutorial videos. You’ll find out all about Faces, Places and other great features of iPhoto ’09. Check it out, it’s a great overview for anyone who’s unsure of whether they need the upgrade.

We reported yesterday that iLife ’09 orders have been prepared for shipment. Apple has now officially announced that the program suite will be shipping January 27. Those who have purchased a new mac since January 6th qualify for the iLife ’09 Hardware Up-to-Date Program, allowing them the opportunity to upgrade to iLife ’09 for $9.95 + tax.

Just a quick heads up to anyone who ordered iLife ’09. Depending upon when you placed your order, it may already be on it’s way to you. Apple promised late January, and it couldn’t get a whole lot later. Let’s just be thankful it’s on time.

Face recognition. Wow. We have the same—if not better—technology as the local police station. How freakin’ cool is that? iPhoto is groundbreaking in the fact that you can train it to recognize someone’s face and know where you took the picture. Let me introduce you to Faces and Places.

iWeb, iMovie, Garageband and iPhoto have all been upgraded. These are the applications that comprise the iLife suite. If you own a Mac, chances are you use one or more of these applications just about every day. Apple seems to be updating the software with new features about once a year, and this year everything gets a major improvement or two. Some of these new features are very powerful tools that are actually used by law enforcement (Faces). Kinda cool that we can use face recognition at home now. So, lets get to it.

Ask almost anyone who attended the Macworld keynote this year what they thought of it and you probably won’t get a very great response. With no Steve Jobs, the keynote was almost bound to not be as great as the past few years. However, not only did Phil take the place of Steve, but there more »

For those of you who haven’t been living under a rock this past week, you’re aware of Apple’s new and improved iPhoto application that will come out with iLife ’09 later this month. This update, which requires Leopard 10.5.6 or higher, brings a couple of exciting features such as Places and Faces (which are a nice addition to Events from the last version). These updates, as well as some other ones, will bring a lot more functionality to iPhoto, and I am really looking forward to this software. What exactly should you expect to see with this new software? Other than some improved editing features, there are some other major updates.

Having spent a few minutes with iPhoto ’09 (instructed by an Apple employee who hadn’t spent much more time with it himself) here are a few answers about it
