iPhoto updated to version 9.1.3
Not a week after the last update, iPhoto 9.1.3 is available via Software Update as well as on Apple's support site. The update is pretty thin -- it simply fixes an issue where split events could be merged back together. Still, it's recommended for users of iPhoto 11, so if you use that version, you might as well install it.
Enjoy!

Apple to focus on the iOS software experience in the future?
While the iPhone is by no means at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to hardware specs, Apple’s road map of releasing only one phone a year does put them at a bit of a disadvantage when competing against phones from other platforms such as Android, and we all know how fast phones in the Android world turn obsolete.
