This bloat is recommended for all users.

Apple would like me to update iPhoto (thankfully, not requiring a reboot, which updating their web browser does… because they want to be more like Microsoft, I guess). Here’s what I’ll get for it:

This update adds several new print product options to iPhoto ’09:

  • Hardcover books can now be ordered in a new extra-large (13ʺx10ʺ) size
  • Includes three new book themes with travel-oriented designs: Tropical, Asian, Old World
  • A variety of new holiday greeting cards themes are now available

The update is recommended for all users of iPhoto ’09.

Really guys? You’re pushing a software update that will store extra binary data (161 MBs!) on my computer for a feature I will personally never use that includes content that you could have delivered by way of HTTP request within the app (especially given that it’s not possible to use those ordering features without an Internet connection to complete the purchase). Are you really sure you want to do that?
