+I just got done testing some IE 7 add-ons and in the course of doing so I noticed that Google has once again changed the [Google Image Search][2] results page. About a month ago Google changed the Images search results page so that it hid the details for images until you hovered over them with your mouse. While the results page looked tidier, many were unhappy that it required an extra step to see the details of an image.
+
+There was [Greasemonkey script][2] to revert the search results page back to how it was, but it would seem that Google must have gotten some negative feedback on the change, because they've rolled it back to the old look.
+
+It's a minor thing and I suppose it could even be a bug or something, but since I prefer the old results page it's good to see it back. I can't help but wonder though, why not just provide a little link to toggle the display behavior according to the user's preferences?

+I spend a fair bit of time perusing the web for images to go with theses posts and I generally limit my search to Flickr because Flickr makes it easy to find Creative Commons Attribution Licensed work. Sometimes I remember that there's actually a [dedicated search engine for CC-licensed work][3], but neither of these solutions is optimal.
+
+Let's face it, Google, Yahoo and the other big boys that offer image searches, have a wider and deeper reach than the smaller players. But the problem with the big image search engines is that it's very difficult to find out what licenses govern the images shown in the results. 
+
+Now for the purpose of thumbnails on this blog, legal speaking, there is a good set of precedents that thumbnails falling under Fair Use guidelines. However, not only could that be challenged if someone was angry that I used their image, but it doesn't cover me if I want to use a full size picture.
+
+Even removing legal concerns, the truth is I just prefer to use CC licensed images because, well, I like to support and draw attention to the CC and reward the people who use it with back links from this site. I like sharing. 
+
+Naturally there are those that spent all of their childhood with that "does not play well with others" description checked on their report cards. For them modern copyright was invented and serves the intended purpose.
+
+Earlier today I wrote about how Google appears to have [reverted their image search][2] results to display size, format and other information below each photo and I started thinking it would be really nice to see the license information displayed as well. 
+
+Google displays license information in the Code Search results -- why not images? 
+
+Well for one thing, there's no simple way for Google to figure out what license applies to an individual image. I suppose it could try to guess it from meta tag information, but often the content of page is governed by a different license than the images. Consider a forum page for instance, each member might have his own license for the images he posts and that license might differ from the one listed in the meta tag. 
+
+Which led me to this idea: the (X)HTML specs should add an attribute to specify the license governing a photograph.
+
+Currently there are 11 attributes for the img tag, 2 required and 9 optional. Frankly the tag is already bloated enough that I don't think one more attribute is going to matter. Something as simple as <code>lic="license-abbr"</code> would do wonders for image rights on the web.
+
+Not only would a license attribute help image search engines, it would help protect copyrighted works by drawing attention to the fact that they are copyrighted.
+
+Now I'll admit I haven't thought this through all the way, there may be some good objections to the idea that I haven't thought of yet, which is why I posted this, to see what other developers think of the idea. Is it sound? Let me know what you think in the comments below.

+Earlier this year [Adobe announced][1] that it was taking Photoshop Lightroom out of beta and into the wild and yesterday they did just that. Lightroom 1.0 [is now shipping][2] and there's a 30 day trial version available for download.
+
+I'm currently testing out the 1.0 version for an in depth review that will be on Wired later this week, but if you'd like to go ahead and dive in yourself, [grab the demo version][2]. Note that the demo will require you to create an Adobe ID if you don't already have one (if you're like me and have an ancient Macromedia ID, that will work as well; after updating my profile I was able to download the demo).
+
+If you've got strong feelings about Lightroom, I'd love to know what you like/dislike about the new version.

Last week, a critic at Gramophone magazine popped a Hatto recording of Lizt's 12 Transcendental Studies into his computer and noticed that iTunes identified the disc as recorded by another pianist, Lászlo Simon. The critic dug out the Simon album and discovered it sounded exactly the same as the Hatto one.
