Apple releases iPhoto 7.0.2 update.

This update addresses issues associated with publishing to .Mac Web Gallery, rebuilding thumbnails, and editing books. It also addresses a number of other minor issues.
The news broke earlier today that Taiwan-based computer maker Acer will be acquiring Gateway Computer.
I have been purchasing Gateway computers for the past two years and happy with their service. On the other hand, I don’t really like Acer-branded computers for numbers of reasons. They are mostly personal reasons. For example, Acer shipped their computers running Windows XP with FAT-32 file format. Their computer design is far from being great.
Anyway, I currently have a pretty good business relation with Gateway, and I hope that it continues. Gateway has just recently moved portions of their assembly factory back into the United States. The latest computer I purchased direct from Gateway was assembled in the US.
By acquiring Gateway and its subsidiary, Acer is now the third largest PC company in the world.

Web Gallery is the newest feature for both .Mac Service and iPhoto ‘08 (iLife ‘08). Apple has quietly added the ability to send a picture from the iPhone directly to the Web Gallery.
When the “Send to Web Gallery” button mysteriously appeared during Apple Special Event - August 2007, it came back and returned an error message. In TWiT’s MacBreak Weekly 52, even Merlin Mann couldn’t figure out (at that moment) why this feature wouldn’t work. Eventually, the whole casts; Leo Laporte, Merlin Mann, Scott Bourne, Andy Ihnatko, and Alex Lindsay didn’t know how to make it work. (time stamp: 10 minutes)
It says:
None of your .Mac accounts have been configured for posting from mobile devices.
You must first enable this feature on the .Mac website.
The informations on .Mac website says that:
If you don’t see the Send To Gallery item, make sure you’ve set up your .Mac email address on your phone and that your iPhone has the latest software updates. For more information about using iPhone, see the documentation that came with it.
Before we go further, let’s get to the basic requirements:
