Ok, file this under the means-nothing-to-anyone-but-me department, but the cool thing from the Macworld Keynote yesterday for me came during the iPhoto ’09 preview. Â While demoing the Geotagging features of iPhoto, Phil Schiller showed the “Places” interface and showed off how it works. Â It is basically a framed in version of Google Maps which has pins (like on the iPhone) to represent places where your photos have been taken. Â Well the lucky pin chosen to show during the demo happened to be good ‘ole Myrtle Beach. Â Â When they zoomed in to the location, I was like – hey, that looks familiar and then they zoomed into the label and sure enough, there’s our stretch of shoreline. Â Yes, it only lasted for 10 seconds, but still, I thought it was cool. Â For a little resort town on the East coast, who better than Apple to give us a little shout out in front of millions of viewers… Â Now, if we could just translate the shout-out into an official Apple Store… Please Apple, please….
