Here is how Picasa fits into Google's philosophy: (those guys are so smart!!!)
From http://www.picasa.com/features/features-edit.php :
"Write captions that stay with the picture.
Picasa 2 makes captions the way journalists do using the IPTC standard. That means your captions are saved within their pictures and stay with them, whether you export as a web page, make a CD presentation, or share them using Hello. Picasa captions are fully editable and searchable, and you choose whether to display them or not."
Don't you see it? By getting the world to use Picasa to organize their photos, Google is also getting them to encode the photo captions and keywords into the image file - thus making photos searchable!
What an elegant solution to a troublesome search problem. Give away great software for free and get people to make their photos Googleable.
Found this interesting on Nasa's website:
"Because of evidence of plasma flow on the lower wing trailing edge and elevon leading edge tiles (wing/elevon cove) at the outboard elevon tip and inboard elevon, the LRSI tiles are replaced FRCI-12 and HRSI 22 tiles along with gap fillers on Discovery (OV-103) and Atlantis (OV-104). On Columbia (OV-102), only gap fillers are being installed in this area." http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/shuttle/reference/shut ref/orbiter/tps/lrsitiles.html
Columbia was the only shuttle to keep the "old technology" tiles in this critical area.
This is the area where the first bad sensor readings came from. "At 7:53 a.m. Central Standard Time -- and all times will be Central Standard Time -- as we were over California, four left-hand elevon hydraulic return line temperature measurements dropped off scale, "
