RAW support in iPhoto
Apple sent me a mail saying my iLife copy has been dispatched. In the mean time, California Fox reports that iPhoto's RAW support is, well, fake. It imports RAWs, but rather than use the RAW files as a source when modifying brightness, temperature, exposure, saturnation etc, it uses an intermediate JPG copy. And as we all know, this just isn't the same. This is not what we asked for when we wanted RAW support, and just not mentioning this and waiting for people's reactions seems just irresponsible on Apple's part.
