DON'T BUY iLIFE09 I already have mentioned some initial problems with iLife09, but things are getting worse each day. In particular iWeb3 was not ready for shipment. It is the most awful update Apple ever sent out. iWeb3 is unstable. There are numerous problems mentioned in the Apple forums. Today I noticed that all entries had disappeared from my main blog page while the separate entry pages are all right. So this is a fault in the automatic generation of this main blog page. Earlier this page had the problem that images kept shifting from one entry to another. I thought I solved this by giving the images new names, but apparently this disturbed iWeb so much, that it no longer puts any images on that page. The only thing that is left in my iWeb on my desktop is the header. And when you are so lucky that all posts look fine on the internet, then it's the rss feed that shows the images in the wrong places. You get error messages like 'couldn't save image object' and 'missing file', and it says that if images/audio/video are missing, you are to simply replace them. So when they developed iWeb they knew that images etc. would disappear, nevertheless iLife was shipped with these known bugs. What next? A message from Apple telling you that if your websites, blogs and photo pages have disappeared you should simply rebuild them from scratch? A call to Apple here was answered by a complete rebuttal of my request for a refund. They hadn't heard of any problems and there was no problem. So my advice to you is: DON'T BUY iLIFE09. It's bugged and totally unstable. 2:13:24 PM

DARWIN Today two hundred years ago Charles Darwin was born. He was one of mankind's greatest scientists. Of course, you still have those pathetic creationists who believe that the world was created in seven days. Well, I see those creationists are blasphemers, people who say they believe in God but actually refuse to credit him for the creation of the universe as Darwin proved conclusively. Actually, the fact that such dumb people like creationists exist could be seen as proof that God does not exist. For them Ricky Gervais with 'Darwin was Wrong'.
