But they've made it a lot easier for cyberstalkers to track us, as well. That's because many digital photos contain a kind of encoded data known as Exchangeable Image File Format (EXIF). This type of data is often used by professional photographers, since it reveals ...

With Facebook now the most popular photo-sharing site on the Web, and with Picasa steadily gaining ground, Flickr found itself in desperate need of a shot in the arm.

It's no secret that, by now, Google has collected an absolutely absurd amount of information about you. Google knows what you search for, what Web sites you visit (Chrome), which pictures you post (Picasa), the contents of your e-mail (Gmail), who you call (Google Voice), what you watch (YouTube), what you write (Blogger), what pills you take (Google Health), where you are (Google Latitude), ...

Do you like making stuff, but absolutely hate the idea of putting any effort into it? Well, we have just the thing for you.

Google was not resting on its laurels earlier this week. First, it announced its corporate video sharing platform, then it unveiled Chrome, and towards the end of the day rumblings of a vastly updated Picasa started to come out. The Picasa news was clearly overshadowed by Chrome, but the new features are nonetheless impressive. Most dramatically, Picasa's Web Albums will allow you to tag people ...

Adobe has launched a new version of its free, online version of Photoshop, which is called Express. When we reviewed it earlier, we were impressed with the app's ease of use and speed, considering the program runs within a Web page.

Aimed at anyone who wants to do quick edits of pictures, this new flash-based version of Photoshop is totally free and runs right in your Web browser -- perfect for anyone who doesn't want to clog up their computer with a full program installation or drop hundreds of dollars on the regular version of Photoshop. The service also allows ...

When Yahoo decided to offer unlimited free storage with Yahoo Mail, we all figured it was only a matter of time before Google offered the same... well, Google has put the kibosh on that idea. The search giant has unveiled its new pay-for-storage system that will increase your limits on Gmail, Picasa, and, soon, Google Docs & Spreadsheets. Don't worry, though, since prices look to be ...
