Flickr Undergoes Quiet, Major Redesign And Adds Massive Storage Limit

Mordechai Osdoby — Tue, 21 May 2013 15:30:52 +0000

Flickr is one of those web services that almost everyone uses, yet it feels like no one talks about. Before Apple had PhotoStream or Google had Picasa, people shared photos via Flickr. Acquired back in 2005 by Yahoo, the image and video sharing site was slowly been getting eclipsed by newer, flashier services. Until yesterday, […]

Google And Dropbox Change How We Think About Attached Files

Paul Hurwitz — Fri, 30 Nov 2012 15:00:08 +0000

The agony of having to collaborate with people using email attachments is widespread. You receive an email from someone with an Excel workbook attached and need to make edits before sending it back. Now, you have to save the file, make your edits, and then reattach it to a new email. I’ve done this and […]

Dani Doles Out Advice: Yahoo Needs To Re-invent Itself

Daniela Weiss-Bronstein — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 18:00:37 +0000

Hi, Yahoo! I still use you for my email because you’re a comfortable old friend. But there’s not much else I want from you. I don’t want Yahoo! search, Yahoo! news, or Yahoo! chat. So, how do you become relevant again? People have moved on from your email service. Gmail is all set with Google, and […]

Toshiba IFA Roundup: Finally, A Touchable Ultrabook I Want To Touch

Meet The Guy Who Stole Katy’s iPhone

Mordechai Osdoby — Wed, 23 May 2012 16:48:20 +0000

Ah, temptation. You see a device just sitting there, say an iPhone, so you decide to swipe it. Except, it turns out that you’re not too technically inclined, and you don’t take the time to erase it. Unbeknownst to you, the iPhone starts saving the photos you’re snapping to the original owner’s PhotoStream. Oops. According […]

Paul Hurwitz — Wed, 02 May 2012 17:37:34 +0000

Last week, Yoni Gross wrote an article comparing four different storage cloud vendors, including the long-awaited Google Drive. All of them have their strengths and weaknesses, with their own devoted followers. Personally, I’ve been using Dropbox for several years.
