2. I couldn't understand what he right-clicked on. My browser (win7) won't do what his did.

Wonder what he used there. Anyone have a guess?

I used a pic from panoramio which totally should've worked.

No?

4. I found this application that will remove ALL hidden info in a picture

Although I've never tried it.

Or, you can use Exifer. A little more complicated, but it can do the same thing.
