New navigation bar

Apple has updated its website with a new darker navigation bar. The links have remained the same – Home, Store, Mac, iPod, iPhone, iPad, iTunes, Support, and Search, however I just love the new search section. I take tons of inspiration from Apple’s designs from its website design, macs and software. One thing is that I love the subtle changes whereas unlike other sites that change EVERYTHING. I would have to get used to the darker navigation however.

Apple iPad - I Want One

Wow its been 9 days since my last post. Abit too long for my liking but anyway lots of things have happened in the past few days. First and best of all Faatimah (my eldest daughter) spent the week with us – it was brilliant. Next best thing was the updates from Apple. As many of you know that I am a huge Apple fan(actic) and I just love it when they release some good toys.

By now you all probably know that Apple has released the iPad. I WANT ONE. At first I thought that it was just a huge iPod touch but as time grew I soon realised the potential in this unit and the way the world is turning to more and more digital media. I JUST WANT ONE. So, eventually we probably will all be sporting an iPad. Did I say I WANT ONE?

Next is the demo release of the iPhone OS 4. If there is one thing i regret in my life is selling my iPhone. What a fool. Now I use a Sony Ericsson C903 but dont get me wrong – SE makes great phones – but just not the iPhone. After watching the latest OS 4 demo, I just feel 100 years behind time. The new iPhone hasn’t been released yet but i am sure Apple will not disappoint us. I will keep you posted of any news I hear.

Today I’m off to Jo’burg (Johannesburg) – the rat race – but will be back soon.

Face recognition in Aperture 3

I love using Apple’s Aperture for my photographic solution. You can download this update via the Software Update utility and it weighs in at 74.5mb. This release / update comes packed with a bunch of fixes. Some of which are:

  • Upgrading Aperture 1.x and 2.x libraries
  • Importing libraries from iPhoto or from earlier versions of Aperture
  • Importing hierarchical folders of photos into a library
  • Adding names and confirming matches in Faces
  • Reordering snapshots on the Faces corkboard
  • Creating and saving print presets
  • Duplicating metadata presets
  • Adjustments using Curves, Straighten and Retouching
  • Navigation of photos in the Viewer using scrolling
  • Importing ratings, color labels and GPS data from XMP sidecar files
  • IPTC metadata compatibility
  • Deleting photos when emptying the Aperture Trash
  • Exporting versions and libraries
