3) The high-res "preview"? if hosted by google is it a full copy of the image?

Ah - good question. Maybe this is related to the outcome of the Viacom-Youtube trial? Now that Youtube/Google officially may host and transform videos of any kind and show ads next to them, maybe they feel more safe hosting and serving high-res photos as well (and display ads next to it)?

Again, one step closer to banning Google.
