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."

    Oh, since its "100% free" where can I download the source code? And what forks are available as alternatives? Oh, then its not "100% free".

    Honestly I tried Picasa a while back and wasn't impressed. I can keep track of my photos(maybe 1000ish) just fine by making and using a logical directory tree. Like:
    Photos
    -2004 Summer Vacation
    --Card 1
    --Card 2
    -2004 My Birthday
    --Card 1
    etc.

    I can edit them in any program I like, and can take them with me fairly easily, or use it directly on another OS.

    And its somewhere the stupid windows thumbnail view actually comes in handy

    You must be pretty fucking hard to impress.

    I'll let you know when I start browsing the web with Picasa 2.0.
    And what does that have to do with an IE exploit? Picasa just needs to have one of the sites it hits with its "integrated" IE to be exploited and Picasa comes down or becomes an entry point to your system.

    You can keep your MS Windows expoited OS and I will be happy with my Mac OS X OS without all the worries.
