in Apple's most annoying feature (Scripting News) on Scripting News
It was in System Prefs at one point, but that was probably pre-iPhoto. You're seeing the results of an Apps group vs OS group turf war at Apple.
ImageCapture app can be handy though if you don't want to use iPhoto, as it will copy off the photos and movies to folders of your choice.

in What is social media? on Scobleizer
This reminds me of an old discussion about social software.
Friedrich Hayek famously said that the word 'social' empties the noun it is applied to of their meaning. Hayek goes on:
"it has in fact become the most harmful instance of what, after Shakespeare's 'I can suck melancholy out of a song, as a weasel sucks eggs' ( As You Like It , II, 5), some Americans call a 'weasel word'. As a weasel is alleged to be able to empty an egg without leaving a visible sign, so can these words deprive of content any term to which they are prefixed while seemingly leaving them untouched. A weasel word is used to draw the teeth from a concept one is obliged to employ, but from which one wishes to eliminate all implications that challenge one's ideological premises. "

in Can this week ever end? on Scobleizer
Here's another theory. Maybe 40% of Vista components are closed for submissions, and 60% are still open for fixes. When I was working on OS X we had that kind of progressive lockdown of OS components.
OTOH, we did ship a version about once a year, which made it easier for teams to accept a lockdown, and not try to squeeze in 'one more feature' in the guise of a bugfix.

in Gizmodo: Microsoft has its evil back on Scobleizer
OK, lets ask a different question. Do QuickTime Player, iTunes and VLC instal and run on this new toy?
If so, you can avoid the evil DRM.
