As a long time windows user I have kept no secret of my distaste of Apple products.  Unfortunately as the years pass it seems that the once restrictive controls of apple have begun to losen and I have found myself with less and less to crticize.  They have brought out fantastic free software, they allowede a windows emulation for macs and they made some fantastic devices such as the iPhone and iPod, even if they still have some majorly pain in the ass restrictions on the music you place on them.

For this reason I felt yet again disappointed as apple released yet another superb product, this time being the iLife ‘09.  iLife 2009 is an amazing piece of softwware for photo management with some impressive features and astoundinly well thought out designs.

And while this great product has compatability with geo taggin on gps devices and improved events album management what really caught my eye was the Face Recognition  functionality.

Yes after tagging one of your friends you can not only set iLife ‘09 to tage every other photo with your friend in it with one of those funky Facebook style squares but you can also upload them  to facebook tagged.  This means that there will be no more labourous tagging of facebook friends, you can simply upload your new photo’s to iLife ‘09, it will tag all your friends and then you can put them straight onto facebook, with the tags and the location.

This feature seems os brilliant to me that it may even convince me to take the plunge and by one of those overpriced incompatible mac things, or maybe not.
