9:11 am Third way to organize: Places.
9:11 am Face detection isn't perfect, but this is incredibly good.
9:11 am iPhoto finds the face, and you tell him it who it is. It will then find other photos that it thinks is the same person.
9:10 am Uses face detection to assist in tagging.
9:09 am Organize by people. Get a corkboard with people's snapshots.
9:09 am This year, we add a new organization system: Faces.
9:09 am Last year, we introduced Events. Can browse by events...very useful and popular.
9:08 am What's new? New iPhoto.

I was disappointed with this keynote, all the hype that they were just going to focus on the Mac, all the best they can come up with is more software and a new 17" MBP...

same. I dont actually know a single person who uses iwork. ilife is cool, but its still a little weird for me.

no mac minis FTL - they could be a GREAT media center.

the 17"MBP is cool I have to admit.
