c't aktuell-wiretap botched: Partial victory for civil rights

Further reactions. If you look at the whole thing more closely, it's probably not as rosy as all that. Rosy, however, is probably the lens through which Schily is looking, otherwise I can't explain why he thinks the wiretapping has been confirmed as constitutional...
iPhoto Mailer Patcher
Anyone like me who uses a mail program not provided in iPhoto needs this application. Mailsmith, for example, finally works as a mail program then...
iView | Media Management Made Easy
In and of itself, excellent software for managing media data. However, the logic for which image formats are supported is somewhat very leaky. While all Kodak libraries are provided, which are necessary to access all Kodak raw formats, only a single format is supported - the format of the digital medium format back and the 14n. The old format, which at least generates around 10 models, is theoretically included in the supplied library, but is not supported by the manufacturer. Great attitude.
Definitely a sign that speaks against this software. Who guarantees that today's formats will still be in the software the day after tomorrow? This isn't about anything banal, where you'd be happy with conversion software, but rather it's about a media archive solution into which you'd certainly like to do long-term archiving of the images with their metadata. I consider the lack of support for older formats to be fundamentally wrong.
What absolutely convinces, however, is the ingeniously simple integration of keywords and other organizational features, the good support for IPTC and EXIF data, and the very fast display. Also the fact that it's a real Mac OS X application and allows drag-and-drop everywhere you'd expect it. All of this speaks in favor of this application.
Schröder no longer talks to 'Bild'
Even though Schröder looks somewhat like an offended party-pooper about it, I can understand him. That tabloid rag has been absolutely unbearable lately. And the campaign interference in Hamburg was anything but objective journalism. Unfortunately, though, the press's misconduct is not a problem that can be solved through legal or legislative means, but only through the integrity of journalists - and image journalists probably have to hand over their integrity at the door anyway ...
A functioning press is an important control mechanism in a democracy. But if the press sinks to the level of such sleazy tabloids, and these sleazy tabloids then make politics through their market dominance, then the whole thing becomes a problem. Sure, it wouldn't be a problem if readers didn't believe every bit of nonsense printed in these papers.
But unfortunately, every society gets the press it deserves ...
