They are definitely shooting themselves in the foot.
I was wondering why my Lightroom uploader doesn't work anymore. They must have disabled it as well.

Yeah, a website that's built on one aspect, and one aspect only - image content, makes it difficult for users to upload that content. What could go wrong?

Yes but there's a Flickr, among other plugins, that use Flickr's API.

Very odd me thinks. Surely a business plan for social media that reduces content is flawed?

It turns out people* are just using the uploadr as a backup tool, never marking the uploaded photos as public and therefore not effectively generating any new content to drive page views (and advertising revenue).

Personally, I see nothing bad in this decision. In case all services on the Web would cost something, we would return to a normal life again and not communicate at the same table we are sitting by "what's ever".

They could have asked for the resolutions on which to upload the photos. Just the way Google does, to upload full-sized images in a limited space and for more space, get a subscription.
After all, this is Yahoo!, who likes that?

I think it's a giant leap forward for Google Photos.

Google Photos has a REALLY long way to go before one can consider it going forward! It is a piece of crap compared to the excellent PICASA service they're considering dropping...

With Yahoo in financial trouble, maybe it is a way to move forward on a few projects!? If the tool is any good, people should be willing to put up a bit of cash for it.

I'm wrapping up a (very, very, basic) game for the Android platform and have encountered an interesting situation. In the game, I'm keeping track of playing statistics. For example, I'm keeping track of: 1) how many turns it took to win, 2) the quickest time to win, 3) the highest points in a game. Don't worry about exactly what these mean; I've tried to generalize them so as not to get bogged down in details. One of the settings you can define is how many points to play to. The statistics are currently being tracked individually, so that if you improve on any of the three, the new "best" gets recorded.
After playing several rounds it occurred to me that you can sacrifice one of those statistics to improve the other. For example, if I purposely take an extra 2-3 turns to win a game, the resulting score is possibly going to be bigger than the current high score. So herein lies my question: for those of you that play an assortment of games, do they track statistics/achievements as individual things or do they do something more along the line of picking a difficulty level (e.g., easy, normal, hard), and track the statistics/achievements as a whole (i.e., they all have to be improved upon in order to persist)?
Thank you for any input.

Most of the mobile games that I play have something along the lines of:
Maximum/Minimum turns it took to win (per difficulty). (Depending on the objective.)
Maximum/Minimum points in game (per difficulty). (Depending on the objective.) Games like Pipes require the shortest distance or moves for example.
Scoring against friends and/or global community.
Without knowing the game, it's hard to determine which statistics is best. However, the best approach, for mobile IMHO, is to keep track of the best score for each difficulty since it's usually only three and have an overall scoring card for achievements to unlock other features.

I think that having an overall stat that combines the three you have into one score is a good thing. Then the goal could be getting all three higher to maximize the end result. If you do that then it becomes a strategic move to actually allow one to decrease to increase the others. Which adds a little something to the game.
I do think that tracking the three and recognizing a new high is a good thing also.
