Google+ trends: Flickr gets bigger photos, Apple blocks One X, Evo 4G smartphones from entering US

The popular online destination has introduced high-res photos on the main photo page and a new “liquid” design that adjusts the photo page and image size according to the size of your browser window.

“flickr's finally showing some movement. As a long time user it was a bit sad seeing no changes coming from flickr and slowly losing out to facebook, instagram, etc.” say Google+ users while others link to a Gizmodo article titled “How Yahoo Killed Flickr and Lost the Internet.”

Apple has reportedly blocked imports of HTC’s One X and Evo 4G into the US over patent issues, which may delay the release of the two smartphones in the country.

“The US availability of the HTC One X and HTC EVO 4G LTE has been delayed due to a standard U.S. Customs review of shipments that is required after an ITC exclusion order,” said HTC in a statement. “We believe we are in compliance with the ruling and HTC is working closely with Customs to secure approval.”
