Google’s Picasa is available for the Mac

If you’ve been looking for that perfect competitor for iPhoto and don’t want to lay down all of your money for Aperture or PhotoShop, you’ll be delighted to hear that Google has released a public beta of Picasa for your Mac. Up until this point, Google’s online photo application was only available on Macs through a browser and iPhoto plugin. Now, the same features and editing capabilities that have been on Windows and Linux for years are now ready for your Mac.
