I've been a quiet fan of Color since the beginning, from a technology/team standpoint, not a product standpoint. I think its smart for Apple.

We can all agree that the product launch and the product itself was terribly implemented, but that doesn't mean the technology behind it can't be impressive. It also doesn't have to mean that Apple can't make good use of the technology and talent at Color by embedding them into existing teams and apps.

What technology exactly? Their initial tech claims (which were never verified or detectable in real world usage) were impressive. Their pivot made little mention of using that tech. What tech of Color's can we conclusively say actually works in the real world?
Not to mention:

"Do I need a Facebook Account to use Color?

Yes, your Color account is directly linked to your Facebook account. Everything you do on Color, including photo taking and LIVE video Broadcasting, will be represented on Facebook "

Ugh...
