I haven't been around much lately and now I can finally share a little bit about what's been keeping me so busy.
We've posted a couple of screen shots and very short video highlighting some of the features of Bibble 5, and our presentation from Microsoft's Pro Photo Summit showing how we've designed Bibble to take full advantage of high end hardware. We're still not at the point where I can talk about everything that's in the works, but I think y'all can see where we're heading.

One thing I want to point out which might not be obvious at first glance is that you do not have to use the new DAM features in Bibble 5 if you don't want to... we don't force you to import your files before you start working on them, although you will miss out on some of the DAM features like searching and filtering.
My favorite part of all the information there is the graph of Bibble 5 using 100% of 16 cores versus the graph of one of our competitors struggling to get 33% (and I think we can get it to go a bit faster than we demonstrated at the summit). If graphs of CPU usage don't make your eyes glaze over, Eric talks a little bit more about the technical aspects in the Bibble 5 section of our forums.
If you're wondering what performance results on that 16 core beast means for a typical computer, the results scale linearly, so if you have only 8 cores instead of taking seven and a half minutes to process 1000 22 MP images, it will take roughly fifteen minutes. That makes me really happy because it means when you upgrade your hardware you will see an immediate and significant improvement in performance. That and because I'm a geek
I'm happy to answer any questions that won't get me in trouble with my boss, or you can head over to our forums and read what's already been asked and answered (or asked and not answered yet in some cases).
