A version came with version 3.0 and google earth. I don't want to
download and install a newer version for fear that it will somehow
break google earth, which is kind of weird about installation anyway.
openSUSE 11.4 x86_64
wine-1.3.12-3.4.x86_64
Picasa Version 3.8.0 (Build 117.4300, 0)for Linux
Google Earth 6.0.3.2197
all work fine :^)
Slackware is sometimes problematic, for extremely large values of
'sometimes'.

Go to your web albums on line and pull (I defer to the guy who
prefers 'pull' to 'suck') your photos up. Crude but effective.

Google has provided us with a lot of nifty things absolutely free.
I, for one, am willing to give them in exchange whatever information
about me they find valuable. The fact that I don't even SEE ads,
even when they're right in front of me, coupled with the fact that I
never buy popular stuff, makes my information absolutely valueless --
but if somebody is actually paying them for it, fine with me -- I'm
definitely ahead of the game.
A lot of people are getting paranoid about google, though, and I can
understand why. Security through obscurity doesn't work as well with
a really good search engine.
Not paranoid about "google", just feel picasa no longer fits their
business model but picnik does and will pay them.
I used picnik the first time I saw it. Slo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ow and doesn't
do anything I want done.
The google-earth version is dated May 13, 2011
the picasa 3.8 version is dated Oct 20, 2010
the chromium web-browser is dated Sept 26, 2011
I believe there is a pattern there :^)
ps: don't be afraid of your computer :^)
I'm not afraid of it, I'm just afraid of losing something through sloth
and ignorance that I have learned to need. I have solved many problems
through the scattergun approach, and have no idea what individual action
or, more likely, combination of near-random actions resulted in success.
I didn't take notes in school, either :-(
