"Dentistry is certainly an accepted science-based practice. Orthropedics is the branch of science-based medicine that deals with musculoskeletal complains. If you're not a doctor, how can you offer to "treat patients"?" - Aaron Traffas

"I don't hate, I laugh. While it perhaps used to be true many years ago, the notion that Macs are somehow superior to PCs when they have the same hardware and the same software is ludicrous. If you're running Photoshop on an Intel chipset, then isn't the difference only the operating system? The Mac operating system is a huge detriment to anyone who wants to efficiently use a computer, and I know many professional graphics designers and audio engineers who left Macs behind long ago because they want to use their computers, not be told how the computer wants to be used. Apple recently announced that smoking voids the Macs' warranties. It's amazing how there are still Apple users, not to mention Apple fanboys. If it were any other company, users would be up in arms. Something about Apple causes their users to tolerate a patronizing Fisher-Price operating system, exorbitant prices and a condescending corporate philosophy that is unrivaled in the rest of the technology industry.

"I recognize that spinal injuries can occur, but I'm going to go to a neurologist or orthopedic surgeon and avail myself of science-based medicine rather than go to a chiropractor and avail myself of pseudoscience-based placebo. Chiropractic uses the same marketing techniques and wholistic-mumbo-jumbo practiced by homeopathy, naturopathy, faith healers and the like. Chiropractors do a better job of making it sound like science, but if it were somehow science-based you would see an acceptance from the medical community. I've never been nor have I heard of anyone who was referred to a chiropractor by any reputable doctor. I guess we're going to have to agree to disagree on this one." - Aaron Traffas

"Actually, Picasa had facial recognition in their web product before iPhoto had it. You're right in that iPhoto did incorporate recognition before Google ported their facial recognition to their desktop version of Picasa, but it's really semantics. Yeah, I am becoming too hard on Mac users. I grow more and more frustrated every day with Apple and some of it bleeds out into my postings. I'll try to be more neutral in the future. :)" - Aaron Traffas

"I admit I haven't used iPhoto. However, if I accept your premise that "Picasa is just Google's version of iPhoto" and that they essentially do the same things, then I can still say that Picasa is a better choice for a couple of reasons. Picasa is cross-platform and runs on Windows, Mac and Linux. Even if I had a Mac, my guess is that Picasa would still be the better choice because of its openness. Also, from what I hear, the face recognition in Picasa crushes that found in iPhoto. iPhoto is a closed environment on a minority operating system, and until there is a Windows version, it won't be a valid contender in the business sector. Thanks for the comment, Brandon. I admit I may have been a little hard on iPhoto." - Aaron Traffas

"I read that many times. "Windows Easy Transfer is a free tool you can use to copy your information (but not programs) off your PC and then put them back after you install Windows 7." ...and... "If you used Windows Easy Transfer..." Words like "can use" and "if you used" led me to believe that it wasn't a requirement of a clean install since those passages were in the clean install section of the document. They should have said "must use" since that more accurately describes how to perform a custom install using an upgrade license." - Aaron Traffas
