iPhoto launching when iPhone is connected
Every time you connect your iPhone to your Mac, iPhoto launches. Very annoying. In iPhoto '09, you can control this behavior a better since it lets you decide what happens when you connect your iPhone or any other device that your Mac thinks is a camera.
To adjust this start iPhoto '09 and go to iPhoto > Preferences... in the menu bar.
Click on the General tab if you're not already there.
At the bottom of the panel is an entry called Connecting camera opens which is new to iPhoto '09. Next to it is a pull-down that lets you select the application that is launched when a camera (and the Mac considers an iPhone a camera) to your computer. One of the options is No application. If you select this, iPhoto will no longer launch automatically when you connect your iPhone to your computer.

--------
do shell script "/bin/bash; if [ `system_profiler SPUSBDataType|grep iPhone -c` = 0 ]; then open /Applications/iPhoto.app;exit; fi; exit"

Then I chose the Apple Script app as what should be launched when I connect a camera. If my iPhone is connected the app just quits, but if my Cannon is connected, iPhoto launches.
