Is there a thoughtful gadget web site oriented towards the individual, rather than Aerosmith?

and while i've taken a liking to Hello, it seems like no one i know uses it. any other p2p options for transfering high-res images?]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/switched-on-high-resolution-photos-want-to-be-free/http://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/switched-on-high-resolution-photos-want-to-be-free/Dec 19th 2005 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/switched-on-high-resolution-photos-want-to-be-free/http://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/switched-on-high-resolution-photos-want-to-be-free/]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/switched-on-high-resolution-photos-want-to-be-free/http://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/switched-on-high-resolution-photos-want-to-be-free/
This is the kind of thing that P2P was designed for - a whole bunch of people wanting to get a large file that is too big to be e-mailed. Not to mention other protocols too numerous to mention that would accomplish this equally well for even mildly tech-savvy users.]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/switched-on-high-resolution-photos-want-to-be-free/http://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/switched-on-high-resolution-photos-want-to-be-free/

And it's free to boot!]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/switched-on-high-resolution-photos-want-to-be-free/http://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/switched-on-high-resolution-photos-want-to-be-free/
Does this make any sense? Bandwidth is not free. Unless you want your photos to have a bunch of ads smacked all over them.

If you want to share your photos, buy some web space. Is it really so hard? Or use whatever amount comes with your internet service - I get 10MB through Earthlink, which is more than enough to share almost as many reasonably high-res, good quality snapshots as I want (though I currently use it to host my video game collection site).

Having ad-hoc wi-fi on a camera would open yourself up to ALL SORTS of problems, so that's no solution at all. Unless you want to spend half your time making sure your photos and folders are organized and password-protected properly on your camera (and then making sure all your friends know the passwords, which would sort of defeat the purpose of having ad-hoc wi-fi for sharing instantly).]]>Dec 19th 2005 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/switched-on-high-resolution-photos-want-to-be-free/http://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/switched-on-high-resolution-photos-want-to-be-free/Dec 19th 2005 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/switched-on-high-resolution-photos-want-to-be-free/http://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/switched-on-high-resolution-photos-want-to-be-free/Dec 19th 2005 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/switched-on-high-resolution-photos-want-to-be-free/http://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/switched-on-high-resolution-photos-want-to-be-free/Dec 19th 2005 12:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/switched-on-high-resolution-photos-want-to-be-free/http://www.engadget.com/2005/02/23/switched-on-high-resolution-photos-want-to-be-free/http://rapidshare.de/en/webhosting.html

http://www.woot.com has been having photoshop contests and suggested http://imageshack.us to host images. They claim to have no connection, but like the serivce.
