Yahoo revitalizes Flickr with huge images, sharing, and a terabyte of free space (hands-on)
Author: Stefanie Jenkins
Yahoo has just taken the wraps off a major update to Flickr, it’s long-suffering photo service, and we just sat down to put the revamped service through its paces to see how it has improved — and whether or not it’ll be enough to keep up with the likes of Facebook and Google+. While it’s a massive visual improvement, it’s still works much like the Flickr of old, for better or for worse. But for a visual site like Flickr, those changes make for a huge upgrade over what users experienced before.
For starters, Flickr made it a priority to remove the massive amounts of whitespace, text, and links that covered up its page, and it makes all the difference. You’re now presented with a stream of photos from your contacts with minimal…

Yahoo rumors ahead of Monday’s event include $1.1 billion Tumblr buy, Flickr updates
Author: Jesus Sargent
Earlier today, Yahoo sent press invites to a “product-related” event in New York City Monday afternoon and there are already two separate rumors about the company’s plans. The first, from Bloomberg, concerns the event specifically and cites a “person familiar with the matter” reporting we’ll hear about new updates for Yahoo’s once-mighty Flickr photo service. The second is from AllThingsD, which has upgraded rumors of a Tumblr purchase from possible to possibly imminent, saying the company’s board will meet to decide whether it will make a $ 1.1 billion all-cash offer for the site. That announcement is also penciled in for the 20th, but whatever actually goes down you can be sure we’ll have the details as they’re unveiled at 4:30PM ET.

Flickr iOS app adds hashtags as it chases Instagram and Twitter
Author: Antonio Pierce
Flickr has pushed the latest update to its revamped iPhone app, and the heading feature is a tweak to an existing one from the web: according to the changelog, tags are now hashtags, and can be tapped straight below each photo. While Flickr was among of the first web services to made popular tags as an arranging and search system, it appears Yahoo felt that tradition wasn’t enough for the photo-sharing service to keep rate; the change is in line with the Flickr app’s adoption of retro filters and @-sign usernames. The word “hashtag” hasn’t reached the main Flickr internet site itself, however, and existing tags from the web don’t reveal up as tappable hashtags in the app.
By taking on the language of the app-driven mobile web, the Flickr app …

Flickr iOS app adds hashtags as it chases Instagram and Twitter

Flickr has pushed the latest update to its revamped iPhone app, and the headline feature is a tweak to an existing one from the web: according to the changelog, tags are now hashtags, and can be tapped directly below each photo. While Flickr was one of of the first web services to popularize tags as a sorting and search mechanism, it seems Yahoo felt that legacy wasn’t enough for the photo-sharing service to keep pace; the change is in line with the Flickr app’s adoption of retro filters and @-symbol usernames. The word “hashtag” hasn’t extended to the main Flickr website itself, though, and existing tags from the web don’t show up as tappable hashtags in the app.

Samsung Smart Tango Corner Clean robotic vacuum hits Flickr ahead of CES launch
Author: Dave Adams
There’s no doubt that Samsung’s holding its juiciest bits for the stage in Vegas, however the company has been letting a couple of items slip on by, with an update to its robot vacuum line representing the most recent pre-CES tease. The Smart Tango Corner Clean preserves a typical round design, however consists of the “globe’s really first pop-out brush,” which makes it possible for the bot to whip debris out of edges and otherwise unattainable spots along its mapped-out course. On the navigation front, the new cleaner appears to include Samsung’s camera-equipped Visionary Mapping System, with a front-mounted lens. There’s also a built-in LCD for shows and error code readouts, in addition to a handful of controls on the top and a standard removable dust bin in the back. There’s no hint of prices or availability– or even a design number to mention– but if you’re in the marketplace for an autonomous vac, you might as well hold out on your purchase for another week.

There’s no doubt that Samsung’s holding its juiciest bits for the stage in Vegas, but the company has been letting a few items slip on by, with an update to its robotic vacuum line representing the latest pre-CES tease. The Smart Tango Corner Clean maintains a traditional circular design, but includes the “world’s very first pop-out brush,” which enables the bot to whip debris out of corners and otherwise inaccessible spots along its mapped-out path. On the navigation front, the new cleaner appears to include Samsung’s camera-equipped Visionary Mapping System, with a front-mounted lens. There’s also a built-in LCD for programming and error code readouts, along with a handful of controls on the top and a standard removable dust bin in the rear. There’s no hint of pricing or availability — or even a model number to speak of — but if you’re in the market for an autonomous vac, you might as well hold out on your purchase for one more week.

Samsung teases ‘whole new Smart Hub’ on Flickr feed, CES launch confirmed
Author: Tiffany Shoman
Samsung’s HDTV-based Smart Hub is set to land a major refresh at CES, according to a trio of images and an item description that appeared on Flickr this evening. Like previous iterations, the software interface will provide access to real-time TELEVISION broadcasts, on-demand flicks, apps and pictures, according to the site’s image captions. The brand-new variation will feature a brand-new background design, in addition to a “streamlined” UI. While the on-screen interface seems new, the screen shot exists atop last year’s Collection 8 model, including an identical stand and a built-in camera up leading– there’s no tip at just what hardware advances we might see in Vegas very early next year. Samsung’s CES interview is on the publications for the afternoon of Monday, January 7th, so we have less than two weeks to go before this new UI– and a whole great deal of HDTVs– becomes authorities.

Like previous iterations, the software interface will provide access to real-time TV broadcasts, on-demand flicks, apps and photos, according to the site’s image captions. The new version will feature a new background design, along with a “simplified” UI. While the on-screen interface appears to be new, the screen shot is presented atop last year’s Series 8 model, including an identical stand and a built-in camera up top — there’s no hint at what hardware advances we may see in Vegas early next year. Samsung’s CES press conference is on the books for the afternoon of Monday, January 7th, so we have less than two weeks to go before this new UI — and a whole lot of HDTVs — becomes official.

Flickr for iOS gets a major overhaul, we go hands-on (video)
Author: Angela Chin
Just like Marissa Mayer promised, Yahoo has revamped its Flickr application for iOS to bring it back in line with the oh-so-social modern era. Whereas the Android application was updated back in August, the iPhone variation has actually had just minor enhancements over the last couple of years and was starting to look seriously messy compared to the competition. In regards to individual functions, the brand-new app doesn’t do much that numerous other third-party applications can’t do currently, however it does bunch them all into one polished package that is pleased to work throughout several networks. In addition to Flickr, for example, you can easily share your snaps with Twitter, Facebook and Tumblr. You might also dig the camera application, which separates exposure and focus points to offer you more innovative control over your images– and yes, there are the required filters too. The application is live on the App Shop today, however have a look at our brief hands-on after the break for an examine of its tough points.
