Well, so was I!  Until I discovered the bad news&#8211;it only works on Intel CPUs.  PSYCH!  So it&#8217;s no good for our humans&#8217; vintage 2005 Mac mini, which runs on a PowerPC G4.  LAME!  I mean the new Picasa is lame, not our Mac mini.  Macs are cool!<\/p>\n<p>I guess Mac users who like Picasa are stuck with the <a href=\"http:\/\/picasa.google.com\/mac_tools.html\">iPhoto uploader<\/a>, which works okay, but you still have to deal with crappy iPhoto.  Macs are cool, but their software isn&#8217;t always so great.  We use Picasa on Windows to organize photos, and fortunately, PCs outnumber Macs 4:1 in our house.  Because you can play more games on a PC!  We love games!  One of the humans bought a new Vista box just so she could play <span style=\"font-style:italic;\">The Sims<\/span>!  But we&#8217;re not going to buy a new Mac so it can run Picasa.  That would be pretty silly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey, Mac users!
