I never said legal consequences. You're free to walk up to your boss and call him an a$$hole. Just don't complain about your civil liberties being violated when he fires you.

Free Speech does not mean speech without consequences. If you're willing to say it, you should be willing to suffer the consequences.

Submission + - Lightroom vs. Aperture

Submitted by Nonu on Tuesday February 20, 2007 @02:43PM

Nonu writes: Adobe has officially released its Aperture killer, Lightroom, and the reviews are starting to pop up. Ars looks at Lightroom and concludes that it's a better choice for those without bleeding-edge hardware. 'Aperture's main drawback is still performance as it was designed for bleeding edge machines. On a quad Core 2 Duo Xeon, it is very usable but Lightroom just feels faster for everything regardless of hardware. Since Aperture relies on Core Image and a fast video card to do its adjustments (RAW decoding is done by the CPU), it's limited to what the single 3-D card can do. Lightroom does everything with the CPU and so it is likely to gain more speed as multicore systems get faster.'
