by Steven Sande (Jun 12th, 2011)

Those of us with a vested interest in iWeb have been perplexed by the lack of interest shown by Apple in the former iLife web design app. Couple this with the pending demise of MobileMe on June 30, 2012, and that confusion turns into concern. MacRumors featured a post a few hours ago about an ...

Review: GarageBand '11 is worth diving into

by Brett Terpstra (Nov 1st, 2010)

iLife '11 has a lot of goodies, but none impressed me more than GarageBand's new capabilities (although I am pretty enthralled with some of the new iMovie features). GarageBand has taken another step toward being a "prosumer" music-recording solution, while still maintaining its roots as a simple, ...

Review: iPhoto '11 is a very mixed bag

by Mel Martin (Oct 29th, 2010)

When iLife '11 was announced, I was quite excited to hear there was an update to iPhoto, and even more surprised to learn my local Apple Store had the software in stock the day after the "Back to the Mac" event.

After iLife '11 analysis: Uncertain future for iWeb, no future for iDVD

by Michael Grothaus (Oct 21st, 2010)

Yesterday's announcement of iLife '11 brought some cool new features across the suite... well, most of the suite anyway. As many people have noticed, only iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band were updated. iWeb and iDVD got no love besides small code changes that make them compatible with the new ...
