A Look at iPhoto '08: Organisation and Importing
eXtensions' Graham K. Rogers reports:
Among the components of iLife, I use iPhoto almost daily. I am, therefore, quick to notice any
changes to software I use so regularly. iPhoto has had major changes to the user interface and to what happens behind the scenes improving the working environment.
The most obvious difference is the way imported images are now grouped. In previous versions, photographs were organised by date or by roll: a hold-over from the analogue camera (that uses film). This application is designed for use with digital images. These cameras are widespread and some have massive storage. As an example, I take pictures in RAW format and my 1G memory card can hold about 175 images. If I switch to JPG, then the same card can hold almost 600 images: about 16 rolls of film.
Now imported images can be listed as "Photos" (as before) and sorted in a number of ways via the View menu; or by a new "Events" concept in which a group of photographs is stacked together. A few hours after beginning to use this, it had become second nature.....

Pages 3.0: Can't Find Text String With Curly Apostrophe
Betalogue's Pierre Igot reports:
This looks like a big bad bug to me! Try the following.
In Pages, turn on the feature that automatically changes straight quotation marks and apostrophes to curly quotation marks and apostrophes (in the preferences, under "Auto-Correction").
Then open a new blank document and type the following phrase:
Find Patricia's friend.
As expected, the apostrophe in this string will automatically be changed by Pages from a straight one to a curly one.
Then double-click on "Patricia's" to select that particular string and copy it to the Clipboard (command-C).
Then deselect that string and put your cursor back at the top of the document.
Then bring up the Find/Replace dialog box and paste into the "Find" field.
Then press "Next" to start the search for that string.
If your Pages behaves like mine, you'll get zero results.......

PC Mag: Broadcasters Support iTunes Tagging in HD Radio
"On Tuesday, major broadcasters announced that they would be supporting iTunes tagging as part of the emerging HD Radio specification.
CBS RADIO, Clear Channel, Cumulus, Cox, Entercom and Greater Media said that they are in the process of installing iTunes Tagging technology. As a result, consumers who wish to hear a song on their local HD Radio stations - and want to preview, buy and download it later on iTunes - will soon be able to do that with just the touch of a button on an enabled HD Radio receiver."
