Google+ is making a big push to be where you store your photos, and it's got some pretty nice new features to make its case. Storage, editing, and even automatic curation, this actually sounds pretty great. Read More >>

We’ve been managing our photos together for almost a decade now. Things were nice and simple at the start and we both knew what to expect from each other—I pulled my photos off my camera on the computer, imported them into iPhoto and arranged them. Life was good. Read More >>
The Facebookification of Instagram continues today as the photo sharing service just added an official feature for tagging people photos. And of course, these photos will all be grouped together on your profile page in a "Photos of You" section. Read More >>
The UK's Enterprise and Regulatory Reform Act has been passed, putting controversial new copyright laws regarding what's known as "orphan works" into place for photos put online. The changes mean that if there's no clear identifying meta data in images, anyone can use and sub-license them and the owners have little recourse to complain. Read More >>

Here we have Tom at a girl's softball tournament, taking pictures with his iPad. Ordinarily, we'd scold him for that kind of behaviour, but since his iPad saved him from death by foul ball, we're going to let it slide, just this once. Read More >>
Looks like it's not just iPhone users who love forcing everyone to stare at pictures of their bloody food, or ruining improving overwise-decent photos with wonderful lo-fi filters. After a year of hipstering-it-up on Android, almost half of Instagram's users are Google-powered. Read More >>

New benchmarks supposedly taken with a UK-spec Samsung Galaxy S IV referred to as the GT-I9505 variant show a slightly different set of internal organs, perhaps confirming rumours that Samsung's planning different versions of the phone for different regions. Read More >>

That rather bland, classically Samsung-like lump up there may well be the Galaxy S IV, with a post on a Chinese Samsung forum taking plenty of snaps of it and performing the usual benchmarks to supposedly confirm the sighting as genuine. Read More >>

Everpix is an online photo storage system that's trying very hard to be the Flickr that everybody wants. Its latest crack is at this is an "Explore" feature, which uses image analysis to sort all of the photos in your collection into content categories like, "animals", "city", and "nature".

Owners of the new BB10 phones are going to have to look elsewhere for a means of capturing, editing and distributing photographs of their duck wraps and Thai chilli fish cakes, as sources claim Instagram is currently steering clear of the new OS and not working on a custom native app. Read More >>

Any photos you have on Dropbox are about to be organised. A new service called Virtual Photo Album rounds up literally every image you've got in Dropbox, puts them in one place, and sorts them by date. Pretty great — or maybe pretty scary if you're not sure what's in your Dropbox. Read More >>
