    I have an EyeFi Explore card (used in my Panasonic TZ3 and MacBook Pro) and there aren't any monthly fees for geotagging or uploading to Flikr. Did there used to be?

    Also, there was already a native Mac application AND an iPhone app for owners to use as well.

    In reply to iPhoto 8.0.2 Update Improves Recognition, Geotagging; Still Sees Faces in Cookie Dough
    The question on my mind--as I am sure it is for many--is how good is this update at recognizing panda bears? Previous versions were apparently less than stellar, often confusing one lovable ursine for another.

    @wilson_c: "closer to a racoon."


    Technically, perhaps you are right. But a big raccoon. Even, perhaps, an overweight big raccoon. Which leads to the semantic dilemma of accurate vs. preferred nomenclature. Consider this: which is more cuddly?


    1) a panda bear


    2) a frickin' humongous fat-ass panda raccoon


    I rest my case.

    I used to work for "Banisco" and at the time there was a rumor that if you turned the face of a R*tz cracker a certain way you could see the word "sex". We cracked into a pallet (with dip and cheese of course) and hundreds of angles and dips later, we never saw the word sex anywhere. What a let down.

    @OMG! Ponies!: How is that a fail? I think that's some pretty advanced face recognition right there. Just wait until it's used to catch terrorists with cookie dough smeared on their faces in an attempt to avoid the traditional FR software in use at the airports currently. You just wait.

    3) You went to school in Latrobe, PA?


    So math class had questions like "Paul's dad bought a half-case of Rolling Rock. If he drinks two-thirds of the half-case after dinner, how many times will Paul's mom claim that she 'just fell down the stairs'?"

    #1, that is NOT Fred Rogers. It's Mr. "Speedy" McFeely.

    #2, that is Paul, the Purple Panda from Planet Purple. Everything there is Purple, and all boys are named Paul, and all girls Pauline.

    #3, yes, 1.5 semesters before we decided to part ways.

    Out of curiosity, I just googled Panda Pete, came up with this link:

    [pandapete.co.uk]


    Now, before anyone goes there, know that, right off the bat, the top video on that link is titled "Rectum Pooper Scooper". Um, Ponies? Is that what you meant by plays all day "in every way"?

    I have to say I am quite addicted to the places thing, and the faces thing is very addicting. It takes a couple of cycles to get it working really well, but I think it works as advertised.

    One of my longstanding gripes with iPhoto has been the inability to apply/edit tags in batches. Tagging did take a big step forward with iPhoto '08. Has batch tagging been addressed in '09?

    @adamrice: Well, when it comes to Faces and Places tagging, yeah—this whole piece is about managing batches of photos for those kinds of tags. As far as text tags go, frankly, I don't use them and now with this better stuff, I think they're becoming obsolete.

    One wonders if you had pictures of different actors, say Alec Guiness and Ewan McGregor, playing the same character, say, Obi-Wan Kenobi, if iPhoto '09 could recognize the character as one person, or recognize the actor as two different people and identify them thus.


    Whew.

    @artbrana: Yes, all photos from iPhones (even first-gen ones, using whatever Maps triangulation capability they have) are automatically tagged, not just with date and all that, but with some kind of geographical data. They "just work" in iPhoto.
