Opinion and Analysis

The only new feature is that iPhoto 7.1.4 "contains new holiday greeting card and postcard themes for use with Apple print products." Holiday themes provided by iPhoto now cover Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Easter and Halloween.

Apple print pricing starts at $US1.99/$A2.69 for 5 x 7in (13 x 18cm) greeting cards and $US1.49/$A1.99 for 6 x 4in (15 x 10cm) postcards, dropping to $US1.59/$A2.09 and $US0.99/$A1.39 as quantities increase. 

Many iLife users will no doubt install the updates promptly to be sure that their Macs are safe from unwanted intrusions, but until the arrival of the customary details from Apple they will be unable to judge the likelihood that someone has already taken advantage of the vulnerability or vulnerabilities.
