Cooliris Now Available for Linux
Truth be told, I'm not sure I really get Cooliris, the browser plugin designed to enhance your photo and video browsing experience. Don't get me wrong, it's really cool, and fun, and now that it is officially available for Linux, I've spent way too much time fiddling around with it and getting seasick as I whoosh through photos online -- and on my desktop -- at high rates of speed. I don't get it, but sometimes "getting" a concept just interferes with enjoying it. I like Cooliris, but I love the way Cooliris works on Linux.
I was directed to the official Linux version through a CNet News piece that covered some of the new features in the 1.10 release. So sure, now there's Linux support, but the folks at Cooliris have added local file browsing functions to the plugin, they've improved how Cooliris works with your graphics hardware, and they've improved the array of displayed metadata from various sites (though Flickr metadata is notably lacking, the Cooliris team says it will be supported in an upcoming release).

The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
