Award for the Apple of Our i (Er ... Eye)

Apple
Many of us have trouble envisioning a world without iPods, iPhones, and other iAwesome ways to connect with each other and listen to tunes, but Apple has really outdone itself this time. The new iPhoto face-recognition software that comes in the new iLife package for Mac computers is designed to make tagging photos in your library much quicker. You tell it who a person is, and it automatically goes and finds other pictures of that person and tags them with his or her name. Pretty incredible as is, right? But here's the coolest part—it also works for cats!

Now, you and I know that every cat is a unique and special individual, but who knew that the folks at Apple were cat people, too? We're so pleased at Apple's acknowledgment that cats are members of the family that we're sending Apple a certificate of recognition today.

You can show your love for Apple, too, by posting a comment below.

I love Apple already. I've bought numerous Macs, but my mainstay G4 is still happily soldiering on after 8 years (and running the latest 10.5.6).

Vegetarian and Mac lifestyles are both the-state-of-the-art and I love both of you, PETA and Apple! It will also work with other animals someday. ;)

thank goodness, all my tech products are from Apple and I though Peta was calling for a boycott. of course I would boycott it but I am glad I don't have to. I try it with my cat tomorrow. He has a beautiful face.

Let's not forget that Apple computers are one of the most environmentally friendly computers on the planet.

My dad has used Mac's for decades, and that has worn off on me - all apple software is unbeatable and the fact they have made this for cats is both kind, but another of those funny apple quirks you come across that make you smile to yourself.
Nice one apple!!! :]
