Picasa for Mac and FileMaker Pro 10 Released

- Sort by reaction score
Just installed Picasa. Not really exicited about it. I have over 5000 photos, and the way iPhoto is organized is much better for me.
If it is better for other people, great. That's why there isn't one thing for everyone.
I'm going to focus on your comment Razeus, because I find it interesting when people really make claims that are totally over stated. You can organize your Events in iPhoto by year, and finding things, even in years past takes all of one second. I've seen how Picasa does it, and the difference is negligible in my opinion.
I work in the software world, and am more than an MBA student. I know how software revenue recognition works. I'll defend you to the point that when you buy a computer, and there is licensed software on it, that company has built in the license revenue in some form.
But you way very arrogant and don't really explain yourself well at all. Just because the licensable price is $79, doesn't mean that is the revenue Apple claims when a Mac is sold. You would have to get into the specifics of the accounting to know how they actually do that.
But lets assume that Apple has built in the "full price" for all of the licensable software you get when buying a Mac, then compare that with comparable PC purchases, you get a MUCH better value for the Mac. Anyway, don't mean to pick on the newbie too much. But calm and collected posts go much further than being overly brash and arrogant.

Filemaker 10 and Postgres - Still Lacks ESS Support for PostgresSql
We and some other businesses we know were hovering waiting to buy Filemaker 10 Server advanced assuming they'd finally expand their live connectivity feature (external sequel sources, or ESS) to include Postgres. ESS seems like a great feature and limiting it to Oracle and mySQL seems silly when there are already good ODBC hooks into Filemaker for other database types.
Reimporting data into Filemaker just to see a few updates and hitting synchronize buttons up to postgres can get old; it would have been great to use Filemaker as a true front-end to PostgreSQL for some of our purposes. Not trying to start a database debate here, but we love postgres for its web serving backend speed and data reliability and we wish FM would hurry up and expand their limited ESS compatibility list!
Has anyone else requested this of Filemaker powers that be?
