Today's Story Highlights

The Pain and Potential of Making a 180-Degree Policy Shift
Photo-hosting service Photobucket in May quietly restored third-party
hosting of photos, reversing its unpopular year-old policy that required
users to pay nearly $400 for hosting privileges. Many irate users
claimed their photos were "taken hostage." Hosted photos on blogs,
forums and other sites were replaced by an image of a dial indicating
the hosted data quota had been surpassed.

Samsung's Foldable Smartphone Slated for Next Year: Report
Samsung plans to launch a foldable-screen smartphone early next year,
according to reports, possibly priced around $1,500. It will resemble a
book, with the main display inside the covers, said Ken Hyers, director
of the emerging device strategies service at Strategy Analytics. The
exterior will have a smaller notification display on the front, and a
camera, or cameras, on the back.
