Flipboard preps video ads for news reading app

If you thought being on Flipboard meant you wouldn’t be bombarded by random, annoying video ads, then that is about to change real soon. They are now rolling out full-page video ads through a pilot program. You will be able to see promo clips from the likes of Sony Pictures when you browse through News or Entertainment. If all things go well, then the pilot will be expanded on November 1st. We’re not sure we are keen about this new idea but at least these ads won’t autoplay and scare you in the middle of the night while you browse or something.

Storage Sense tipped to make its way to Windows 9

 

Leaks of an early build for Windows 9 or Threshold have shown up and it looks like they’re bringing a new useful feature to the next iteration of the operating system. Storage Sense or the storage management feature of Windows Phone 8.1 might make an appearance in Windows 9 if you base it of the leaked screenshots of the OS. Storage Sense is meant to make it easier for you to look up what files or apps are taking up the most space in your Windows Phone device. We’re not sure if this will make it to the final cut of the OS but it sure would be handy if it did.
