Product Review: iLife '11
Overview: iLife is Apple's entertainment suite, and '11, I think is a great update. iLife '11 features five applications: iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand, iWeb, and iDVD.
Price: The Regular Version will set you back 49.00, the Family Pack costing 79.00.
(Just about to buy a Mac, iLife '11 ships with it.)
iPhoto '11
iPhoto '11 is is a great part of iLife '11, mainly because EVERY single one of your photos is just there. With the all new Full Screen mode, you can see those photos even larger, because, with photos, bigger is better! Editing is simple, yet full of familiar features. Faces and Places, which both debuted in iPhoto '09, are even simpler. You are going to LOVE this app.
iMovie '11
iMovie '11 is great, Apple added more pro features, while keeping it basic and not to complex. In other words, it's just right for the average consumer! Movie Trailers are a great addition, and projects are still great. It's all you expect from Apple, a product that works!
GarageBand '11
Oh, GarageBand, one of the easiest to use music making apps EVER. Apple has added better recording features, more tracks to use, and pure greatness to this product. I'm very pleased with this update, I think you Mac users will too.
* iDVD and iWeb, were not updated in iLife '11....
Overall I rate this product ★★★★★/★★★★★, it is great!
System Requirements
To use iLife '11 You must have all of the following:
Mac Computer with an Intel processor
1GB of RAM
5GB of Disc Space
DVD Drive for installation
Display with 1280x768 Resolution or Higher
Mac OS X v. 10.6.3 or later
Internet Connection for some features like uploading and iWeb.
I think that this consumer software is a GREAT buy. I highly recommend it!
By The Way, if you are interested in Apple products, I suggest Scott M.'s "Apple Product Of The Day", as I myself have found it helpful when buying and fun to read!
Thanks for reading, I'm looking forward to your comments.
Once again, this is Bryan S.
Goodnight!

Animal of the Day
Marlie Frasier
Empala rams spend most of the year in bachelor herds, but become territorial, noisy and aggressive during the change. Mating males usually gather together in groups of 15-20. With head raised, mouth open and lip curled-a display of behaviour known as 'flehmen'-a male lion captures the scent of a female on heat.

News of the wierd by micah wheat
daily dino
1 is that that 1st blog on deinonychus was mostly copied of a website, so my apologies
2 is that the rest is written by me and is based on my knowledge of dinosaurs, mostly gained from the incredible work of the paleontologist Dr. Thomas R. Holtz, Jr. and other paleontologists.
3 is that I have been confused on writing the blog, so I might have copied a blog I wrote twice, and that blog I did, titled diplodocus [not daily dino] was supposed to be a daily dino
:) thanks!!!

Animal of the Day
Marlie Frasier
The humpback whale is found in almost all the world's seas from the polar regions to the tropics. It is known very well for it's leaping. The humpback whale often leaps clear into the air out of the water making a loud splash as it falls back into the water. If you ever go on a cruise look through the port hole and you just might see a humpback whale in the middle of his famous jump. You also might hear the whale's famous song, a multi-tone series of shrieks and deep moans. It might sound weird but the ugly looking humpback whale is one of the most beautiful animal to swim through the seas.

Zilker Fashionista
Hello world, I'm here with the latest P.R. report and I'm sorry it took SO long but it took me a long time to build up the courage to write this specific report because it's a tragedy! Well I know what you probably want to know and that's who won but to know that you actually have to READ my blog! All the collections were amazing but my favorites was obviously Mondo. Here is something I would have said to Andy though,"The color palette is a little repetitive."Something I would have said to Gretchen would be,"It looks like these models are going on a safari to clean the dung this is a car crash of a mess!" Then to Mondo I would say,"Your patterns make this look effortless, but I think your garments need a little more sophistication."
By the way I loved all the costumes on Friday and it's a big disappointment that this is our last year for most of us that we get to dress up, I would tell you what I was but that would totally give away my identity. My fashion tips for this week are... skinny jeans forever, fabulous flats, sweaty sweat shorts, and of course skirts with belts I have only seen Finley and one other person do this come on!Well give me a comment or anything if you have a question, idea or opinion on P.R, Oh and don't forget they have a P.R on Thursday and they bring all the contestants and models back! After the season ends I will just give comments and fashion tips.The winner of Project Runway is.... Gretchen errrr! Also on more thing leave a comment on which faculty member's costume or wig was the best and I'll post the winner!
