iLife Gets Better; Just Don't Ask It to Find a Face

I decided to move away from iPhones and look at articles that reflect a bigger picture for personal computing. One article that I found to be great with this transition is this one about the newest iLife ‘09, a recently announced software package that would come free with any new Mac OS X.
According to the article from WSJ, and a quick search on the infamous Wikipedia, iLife is a software suite featuring various multimedia programs that are geared towards organizing, viewing and publishing digital content.
From an eCommerce point-of-view, iLife becomes an opportunity and gateway that would link new and old users to the world of Web 2.0. While competing directly with window vista’s features, iLife allows users to arrange, edit and finally upload content to popular sharing websites such as flickr, youtube and facebook. I just find it interesting that even for a strong multimedia function-based company like Apple cannot ignore the fact that digital content are no longer staying on personal computers. With the development of Web 2.0 websites, people are enjoying the ability to upload their memories, interests, and ideas to a remote space, where they can access and share to their hearts content.
Programs like iLife comes bundled free with any new Mac, mostly because a lot of the features they offer can now easily be found on online tools and services. I think when the day of unlimited bandwidth arrives, we will no longer have much, in any, software left in our personal computers.
