Based on some of the articles you’ve posted, I gather that you use Lightroom extensively. Can you speak to why you’ve added it to your toolset. How has Photoshop and Bridge, for example, not been enough?

iPhone developer EULA turns programmers into serfs
The Electronic Frontier Foundation has published the Apple iPhone Developer Program License Agreement, a secretive document that requires its signatories to agree to a gag order on the terms of the…
It’s amazing all the ways that the iPhone manages to screw the people that love it: saddling iPhone owners with crappy contracts with abusive mobile companies, limiting their access to programs and forcing them into one-sided EULAs, then screwing the developers with equally abusive agreements.

Apple’s hypocrisy with regard to the App Store is something I know well. Several times last year I wrote about Apple allowing apps like “Asian Boobs” and upskirt apps into the App Store while rejecting things such as satirical apps that mocked public figures. It was ridiculous. So you might think I’d be happy that Apple is now rejecting and removing sexy apps from the App Store as well. But actually, the hypocrisy is much worse now.

Integrating PhotoShelter into Your Website – A Picture's Worth
showing your pictures isn’t enough nowadays. You might want to add a shopping cart that allows your clients to license images or purchase prints and products directly off the site, or make it easier to create and manage your galleries and distribute high resolution files. If that’s the case, don’t worry! If you’re happy with your existing site, then we like it, too! We can appreciate the value of a custom built design, and if our design themes don’t provide the look-and-feel you’re after, you can customize PhotoShelter to enhance the site you already have. This is possible because PhotoShelter pages can actually be easily integrated into any outside website.

In the Future, One CF Card Will Hold 200 Years’ Worth of Porn
Someday, you’ll be able to fit as much data in a small, square CompactFlash card as AT&T carries on its entire network in a week. In theory at least, version 5 of the CompactFlash standard will allow CF cards to hold 188 petabytes of data. By comparison,

DOUG MENUEZ 2.0: GO FAST, DON'T CRASH
I make no apology for the lovefest review to follow. The tools we use make or break us, and I have been working with this digital stuff for a long time, always looking for ways to get back to the comfortable metaphors I grew up with in the wet darkroom and with film. Aperture 3.0 incorporates a lot of that tradition while providing all the latest technology to actually make me more efficient. Yes, they feature me in a nice video of how I use it, and that’s great, but seriously, my motivation for participating in beta testing and marketing is that I am just looking for the best tool to solve my problems. When I find something like Aperture I want it to succeed so I’m pushing hard for people to try it.
