OzHub, the Macquarie Telecom-led cloud computing alliance, has come down firmly on the side of Optus over the copyright controversy surrounding Optus TV Now, warning that any moves to change the law "risk branding Australia a global luddite state."
Adding location information to your digital photographs, a process known as geotagging, is a great way to make them more memorable and valuable and Microsoft claims to have simplified this process so that it is no longer available only to those with technical expertise.
Microsoft has launched Microsoft Pro Photo
Tools, available as a free download from
http://www.microsoft.com/prophoto. These work with Expression Media 2,
a new version of its digital asset management software which is part of
the Expression family of products for creative professionals. The Pro
Photo Tools and Expression Media 2 are designed to work together to
help photographers better manage their digital image collections with
new digital asset management functionality including geotagging.
Expression Media 2 has an open architecture, supports multiple file
formats including RAW, and can be used either on Windows or Macintosh
operating systems. According to Microsoft Expression Media 2 "gives
photographers more control over images and greater flexibility. It also
allows quick export of photos into multiple formats to produce slide
shows, video, and interactive Microsoft Silverlight-powered web
galleries."
Expression Media 2 will be available for purchase in mid-May.
Meanwhile, a trial version is available here.

In support of its move, Microsoft quotes: Ron Glaz, analyst at IDC,
saying: "Geotagging is a hot new area in digital photography, and like
other popular digital photo features, I expect photographers will be
asking themselves how they ever lived without it. Until now geotagging
has been hard to do, requiring special expertise and tools. The time
has come for an application that even the weekend photographer can use.
Microsoft's initiative of leading the way and making geotagging
accessible to pros and enthusiasts alike is a step in the right
direction."
