CNET Declares Picasa 3.5 Champion of Photo-Editing Facial Recognition Software
Interesting post from CNET's Josh Lowensohn around a 'Facial Recognition Face-Off' between Google's Picasa 3.5 (just updated last week), Apple's iPhoto (new version released in January), and Windows Live Photo Gallery (updated last June) to determine the best free consumer photo-editing face finder on the market today.
Best part of the testing is that Josh used 500 of his own mugshots in the testing procedures!
Ultimately declaring Picasa 3.5 the cream of the crop, he writes:
"It has, hands-down, the best workflow for finding faces, as well as alerting users to when it had found people in new photos. It's also the only program out of the three we tested that's cross platform, meaning you can use it on either a PC or Mac and have an identical face recognizing experience."

I actually thought the review wasn't all that great. It didn't seem very rigorous and it lacked technical information on how the software works. I found these two reviews much more useful: CNET by Shankland & Technology Review by Garfinkel & Rosenberg.
