Picasa 2.0 Released, Reviewed

Posted by timothy on from the doesn't-work-for-me dept.

firebirdy writes "Google's Picasa 2.0 was announced yesterday (with support for RAW, Gmail integration, and uploading to popular photo services, among other things) and PC Magazine is ready with a review. Four and a half stars, and the only drawback found by PC Magazine folks was the lack of support for handheld devices."

  3. Porn = easy to find? NO. by No+Such+Agency · · Score: 4, Funny

    I want the porn on my computer to be HARD to find. That way nobody but me will find it.

    I don't really want a visiting friend clicking on the wrong icon in my Start menu and having my midget bukkake collection spread out before them (neatly catalogued).

    Surely you're not suggesting that a Palm device would be more suitable?

    Heh, that's one of the reasons I'm looking forward to Mac OS X Tiger. I don't want to mix my porn with the rest of the pictures in my iPhoto library (for obvious reasons), so I'm really looking forward to the "Smart Folders" feature of Spotlight. It'll fix the "hard to have a media file in more than one folder" problem quite well -- and I can easily store the whole collection in an encrypted disk image too.

    I would be more concerned about...

    'TEENAGERS and young men should keep their laptops off their laps because they could damage fertility, an expert said today.

    '"Laptops, which reach high internal operating temperatures, can heat up the scrotum which could affect the quality and quantity of men's sperm.

    '"The increase in scrotal temperature is significant enough to cause changes in sperm parameters," said Dr Yefim Sheynkin, an associate professor of urology at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.'

    I know its not completely done but have you even looked at F-spot? http://www.gnome.org/projects/f-spot/
    how about gThumb
    http://gthumb.sourceforge.net/
    or digiKam
    http://digikam.sourceforge.net/Digikam-SP IP/rubriq ue.php3?id_rubrique=3

    If they all would combine their forces, not only would they probably make a lot more headway, they'd have the ever so marketable name G-spotKam.
