With Christmas right around the corner, all shopping should be done at this point. So, what are you giving this holiday season? What are you getting?? Hopefully something with a shiny Apple on it!! If you are giving a new computer, just don’t let it end up like this. Just get a Mac! And if you don’t know what you’re getting, you can always track Santa here.
From all of us at theiLife.com, we wish you and your families the best for Christmas, New Years- or whatever you celebrate! Content around here might be a little scarce over the next week (we like to vacation too) but, rest assured that in the New Year we will be back in full force and with Macworld fast approaching! Of course, in the meantime you can always entertain yourself with daily updates to The Daily iLife or the Macworld Countdown Widget.
For all of those counting down the days until Christmas or New Years, we are counting down until Macworld. So for all those waiting on those new MacBooks or iTunes Rentals, or whatever Sir Steve throws at us- may the counting begin!
Get yours at our new Downloads page.

The iLife Podcast – Epoisode #1: MacWorld Rumors
Show notes after the jump. Read more…
Wow! TheiLife.com has all the suddenly taken off! We are averaging almost 300 unique visits a day, which for a site that is not even two months old- is great! We love to see people enjoying what we create. With that said, things are going to be changing in the coming weeks. We have a host of tutorials, articles, podcasts, reviews coming your way in the very near future.
Also, we are working extensively on Macworld, while trying to do everything else at the same time. This explains the general lack of content this week (compared to last). We hope you understand that we have our hands full, and over the coming weeks there will be lots of great stuff ready for mass consumption.
Stick it out- things will be all good. (and look for a podcast coming your way, soon!)
We are proud to announce that we have gained two new writers, Matt Rosenhein and Dan Spiers. Both have joined theiLife.com writing team in hopes of bringing new perspectives to the site with Matt focusing on hardware and Dan on gaming as well as switching from PC to Mac. Look out for posts and other content from both of them in the near future.
PRESS RELEASE: Apple and Think Secret have settled their lawsuit, reaching an agreement that results in a positive solution for both sides. As part of the confidential settlement, no sources were revealed and Think Secret will no longer be published. Nick Ciarelli, Think Secret’s publisher, said “I’m pleased to have reached this amicable settlement, and will now be able to move forward with my college studies and broader journalistic pursuits.”
Think Secret was a source for inside Apple information and rumors since 1998, with many reliable predictions over the years. However durring the past two years, Think Secret seemed to scale back on the number of posts and loose prediction accuracy, resulting in a loss of popularity. Rest in Peace Think Secret, 9 years old.
Just as I promised, Sidney and I have been working on the AJAX application. We have come to terms (for now) with the design, and have began to *start* coding. This part of the process will probably be the most time consuming, so hang on tight- there should be more to come in about a week or so.
