MySQL Workbench is possibly the most unstable software I've ever used on a Mac.
IMHO the only two tools you'd want to use on a Mac for MySQL are
1. Navicat (ugly/annoying UI but great admin tools)
2. Querious (great UI but light on the admin tools)
Nonetheless, I'm a big fan of Coda for PHP development, even though there's no debugger. It's got a top-notch UI, great site configuration management tools, SFTP, FTPS/TLS, Subversion integration, solid syntax highlighting, and resource books built-in if you need them. Highly recommended!
As pixel density increases, image quality decreases. These companies are cramming more pixels into the same size sensor. Bigger pixels = better quality.
By the same token, I think the wars could (and maybe should?) go to sensor size eventually. There are already several full-frame (35mm film frame sized) DSLR's out there now. The image quality of any of these cameras (even ones with less pixels) will blow any ultracompact point-and-shoot camera out of the water. Bigger sensors = better quality.
Bring on the sensor size wars!
With today's bargain prices for analog photography, I encourage people to jump in! The bargains with analog are all on the equipment end. But over time, the cost of film wasted + cost of development (not the mention time spent developing) overtakes the equipment costs of digital photography. Of course, you do still get much higher quality with analog (especially using medium or large format!) when making large prints.
Photoshop is for pixel-level editing (altering portions of an image), whereas Lightroom [mostly] applies editing to the image as a whole. Photoshop also uses destructive editing, whereas Lightroom uses a chain of non-destructive editing, which is fundamentally different. A pro photographer can do maybe 90% of cropping and development in Lightroom, and jump over to Photoshop when necessary to do fine-grain editing. As someone else mentioned, it also adds tons of functionality to managing a large photo library with concepts like tagging, collections, shoots, multiple versions of a file, etc.
I just used Vista last night for the first time on my GF's new laptop with 1 gig RAM, and it was just fine. Even with the souped up interface, it seemed snappy. I've always naively thought the same thing after installing (or re-installing) a fresh instance of Windows. As with Windows 2000 and especially XP, they seem to run great at first, but over time they will slow down significantly.
Anyone know of a reason why Vista would be any different?
just my humble opinion: i think windows sucks as an OS, and office is [hate to admit it, but] basically pretty good. i have to say i'm not too surprised, then, about numbers like this.
I think RVM is exactly what you're looking for.

upgrade from windoze to linux...
i'd love to observe small computers being distributed wirelessly.
