Introducing Picasa 3.0 (and big changes for Picasa Web Albums)
,----[ Quote ]
| A little over two years ago, we launched Picasa Web Albums to make publishing
| photos online easy. Now Picasa Web Albums hosts billions of online photos
| from around the globe, with users adding millions of new snapshots every day.
| Each of these photos records a different moment, or a different perspective,
| but one thing they all have in common is that in each case, the person behind
| the camera wanted to share their experience with a friend, their extended
| family, or maybe the world.

| If you can watch it without dropping your litigation against YouTube, Viacom,

| Watch the part about the song that ended up being professionally released. It
| made the company some money. Cluestick: there is more than one business
| model, for those who can get with the new. Sooner or later, your shareholders
| will be furious with you if you don't course-correct and modernize. Yes. They
| will. Eventually, your shareholders will be YouTubers, you know. And you'll
| be what media used to be.

Feeling the heat at Microsoft
,----[ Quote ]
| A couple of years ago you reiterated that IBM was Microsoft's biggest
| competitor and you said not just on the business side, but overall. If I ask
| you who is Microsoft's biggest competitor now, who would it be?
|
| Ballmer: Open...Linux. I don't want to say open source. Linux, certainly have
| to go with that.
