Homosexuals and their man-hating associates have used false rumors to push many decent people out of all kinds of corporate offices, government jobs and universities. Most straights subjected to that treatment have known better than to complain to their relatives in the courts.

They've harassed their neighbors by hosting mobs of professionals at their meth parties.

In sponsoring the media, they have their say and tell the rest of us to shut up and buy their products. Now, they're putting small business people out of business for refusing to pay homage to their problem, having their say through their media and telling everyone else to shut up.

I see. Sort of exactly like the way YOU are repeatedly acting in Apple threads, being purposely and deliberately boorish, juvenile, rude, coarse, ill-mannered, uncouth, uncivilized, vulgar, and asinine.

Starting from the top of the list... the ability to sort my photos by date or other attributes. Being able to upload the photo in original format. Etc... etc...etc.

ROTFLMAO. iPhoto could always do that. It is amazing that merely be listing a function of a new software application, the anti-Apple hate brigade, who has NEVER used Apple products suddenly assumes those functions are NEW to Macs???

Do you seriously think that Apple Macs, one of the premiere professional PHOTOGRAPHIC computers and PUBLISHING computers in the world did NOT have those basic photo handling capabilities? C'mon, give us an indication you have a smidgeon of a clue of what PROFESSIONAL use means. SHEESH!

I'm just saying, every time they come out with these "new feature" lists I'm always surprised that the listed features didn't exist already in their stuff.

That's because you don't use Macs. . . and you are reading about a NEW SOFTWARE APP. . . not a missing feature. It is replacing an old APP that could do those things. . . and there were other apps that could ALSO do those things such as Apple's Aperture App. Sorry, you are just completely ignorant of the capabilities of the Mac platform. . . and that makes you surprised by new product announcements because you ASSUME your platform is superior when it is not, so you read more into what you see in Apple update notices than is there.

For correcting your Apple Mac ignorance. Here is a screen shot from the now replaced Apple iPhoto which has had these features since it replaced an earlier Apple photo App from Apple MacOS 9 which had the same functionality in the older operating system.

For your information, the Mac can handle more photo formats natively than can your Windows machines and can connect to the vast majority of digital cameras with the need to install ANY drivers or proprietary software from the camera's maker. For a Mac users, it is nothing to take a friend's camera and plug it in direct and download its contents directly in raw format to the Mac's iPhoto app. . . and then output it in any format you might need. This capability comes free with every Mac sold. Frankly, you really have no clue what you are talking about.

Did i mention that the Mac has sophisticated facial recognition and can sort by that as well?

Would you like to try again on something YOU'VE been doing for years that is new to a Mac? Frankly, I doubt you can come up with anything. . . because you simply do not know what the Mac is capable of and has actually been doing for 31 years now. . . which has been copied by Microsoft and essentially everyone else.

This is also true for most anything you plug into a Mac. I bought an “All-in-one” HP printer for my Mac, and plugged it in, and it just worked. There was no “Setup Wizard”, I didn't have to go to “Add New Hardware”, I didn't have to install any driver, I never had to insert any CD for additional software. I never had to Visit the HP site other than to register it for the warranty.

Same way with my Video Camera, and my still camera.

In fact when I buy something new like that I just throw the cd away.

One thing I have noticed is, I have an Apple Wireless Super Mouse that would disconnect randomly. This update seems to have fixed that. I have an Moby Inductive Charger for it, and I thought maybe that was part of the problem. Also it doesn't have line-of-sight to the Mini, and I thought that may have had some affect on it.

Hi Swordmaker,

Thank you for answering in more detail. I don't use iPhoto (my "photo collection" is a disorganized mess, which I'll get around to organizing "one of these days"®, probably using iPhoto) and was tired as hell last night, so I wasn't about to spend the time and energy, and just replied generically.

Big deal, my Samsung can too. Its nice to see Apple trying to keep up though, as competition is always good!

Pretty much everything, just for cheaper and sooner usually.

Does you Samsung add names to the faces it finds? I think you talking about locating a face to focus on. That is a different thing. I am talking about going through all your photos and identifying all the people in each picture. You Samsung Smartphone can do that? I may be wrong, but I haven't heard of it having that capability.

Pretty much everything, just for cheaper and sooner usually.

No, that doesn't cut it. "just for cheaper and sooner usually" doesn't come close to proving your case. You really don't know, so you are bloviating. I won't even grant you larger screens. . . since the iPhone's initial 3.5" full phone spanning screen had the largest smartphone screen of it's time with most smartphone screens being about 2.5" because they had to make room for keyboards.. Android's me too-ism was johnny-come-lately attempt to find enough room in their cases for batteries to overcome their abysmal energy usage. . . and since they had such large casing, they might as well make use of the acreage.
