- I hear you Chris. I'm still having issues with Friendfeed, but have found it more manageable since I removed everyone from my Home feed and have started adding users to lists and check those...
- same experience here, I used then extensively in the past but now its such poor service look elsewhere. They have both customer service and quality issues

The Way I See It
In the next couple of weeks, I will buy my first Mac. My laptop has been playing up over the last few months, and I’m generally sick of Windows. I just want life to be easier. I thought I’d methodically look through what I actually do on my laptop, and what I want to do, […]

I tried Photoshop CS3 a little bit when it came out, I didn't like it at all to be honest. It's so different from CS2, it's just ridiculous. I feel like it's Adobes way of being extremely pretentious. That's my humble opinion though, I'm sure others will swear by it. I, on the other hand edit all my photos with Adobe Lightroom. It's is much more intuitive, and so much straight forward then Photoshop. It's purely for editing and keeping your photos in one place. I would definitely use Lightroom over Apple's Aperture. You should try both of them, but I highly suggest Lightroom, it's just a much better platform and makes editing photos faster. You can tag all of your photos in Lightroom and they will stay when you upload to Zooomr. The only thing that you will have to change after uploading is the title of the photos. Which doesn't take long at all since Zooomr makes it so easy.
When you get your Mac, download (free) a program called Senuti (iTunes backwards) and you can copy all your files off of your iPod to your iTunes library and keep all of the ratings and everything blah blah blah. Or you could just transfer them to your Mac from your PC. It doesn't really matter which way you do it, the ratings and everything is imbedded in the file through iTunes. So it doesn't really matter where you put the tracks, the files contain the ratings and all the information.
My video player of choice is VLC. It's open source and works on all platforms. For the Mac, it's usually h.264 even though there is a divx player that is made for the Mac. I don't use it even though I have it. It cost money I somehow got it for free. Don't ask, I think they were giving free copies away or something. I haven't used it since.
I hope this answers all your questions, if it doesn't, feel free to email me.

I use CS3 and love it. I liked Lightroom, too (but haven't shelled out the $$$ for it). It works for my workflow.
I just write straight to my blog so I can't help you with that. Sorry.
I just imported my songs. However, I did have to authenticate my external hard drives on my Mac BEFORE I did them on my PC in order for them to work on both platforms. Not sure why. But once I did, I could import my music and photos easily.
Dunno about the video question. I just pop a video in and it works. I have no clue about that.
Oy. Not sure this was much help. :-)
