Yahoo Screen for iOS now supports AirPlay and live video broadcasts

The Yahoo Screen application is still a relatively young one, but it's never too early to start adding more features to it. With this in mind, Yahoo revealed today that it's bringing AirPlay compatibility to the app, making it easy for viewers to stream content on their television set -- all while being able to use the iOS device to browse other videos and select what to play next.

Yahoo's Q3 sees net revenue drop slightly, 'meaningful increases' in traffic

The Q3 earnings report for Yahoo is in, and even with earnings down 91 percent year over year (due to an infusion of cash last year when it sold part of its share in Alibaba Group) it held few surprises. Revenue dropped 1 percent to $1.08 billion, while ad sales also dropped slightly, down 7 percent for Q3 last year. Other than that new logo, the company also pointed out its run of acquisitions has continued, with Bignoggins, Qwiki, Xobni, Admovate, Ztelic, Lexity, Rockmelt and IQ Engines joining the fold. It's reporting 800 million monthly users, "up 20 percent over the last 15 months," aka since Marissa Mayer took the reins. We'll keep waiting to see if Yahoo's changes affect its bottom line significantly, but right now its remaining 24 percent stake in the Chinese search engine is the highlight -- Alibaba's section in the filing shows $707 million in profit for Q2 and an expected IPO could increase its value by billions.

Flickr app gains auto-upload feature in iOS 7 update

With several recent major updates including a grid UI and filters, Flickr is far from languishing in Yahoo's hands. Another refresh has just arrived for iOS 7, bringing automatic uploading from your camera roll to its servers at full resolution -- with sharing set to private by default. You'll also get automatic photo straightening using the Flickr editor, and Yahoo says that it's resolved Google sign-in issues, making sure "it doesn't happen again." If you're worried about clogging up your Flickr storage with multi-megapixel iPhone photos, fret not -- you'll still get a free terabyte.
