Hulu’s ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’ becomes first streaming show to win in the Emmys Best Drama category

Hulu has been a slow starter in the major awards circuit. But it got a first that its rivals Amazon and Netflix haven’t been able to get yet: a win in the Outstanding Drama category at the Emmys. Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale just won in said category, besting the likes of Stranger Things, This Is Us, The Crown, Better Call Saul, Westworld, and House of Cards. The show won four other awards that night, including best actress for Elisabeth Moss and best supporting actress for Ann Dowd.

The Handmaid’s Tale is adapted from Margaret Atwood’s 1985 novel of the same name. The show’s writer and executive producer Bruce Miller, who also took home an Emmy for writer in a drama series, thanked Atwood for creating “this world for all of us.”

Google updates Motion Stills app on Android, brings new editing feature and delete option

Google brought its GIF camera app, Motion Stills, to Android back in July. The app just got its first simple update. There are two new buttons in the Edit screen. One is the loop button, which as its name suggests will let you loop clips back and forth. Another new button is the Delete button. Fairly straightforward too, as it just lets you delete past recordings. To do that before, you would need to swipe left on the main screen.

If you’re not familiar with the app, Motion Stills tries to set itself apart with the app’s ability to stabilize your videos while you’re recording and it can either record for a few seconds or with its fast-forward mode, speed up and stabilize longer clips.

Samsung tugs at our heartstrings with new Note8 ad

We associate the Note8 with being a good productivity tool. But this new Samsung ad suggests it can be used for more than that. The creative types, or those who just love to doodle, can actually use it to flirt. The newest ad for the Galaxy Note8 shows a couple getting together and falling in love with each other using the Live Messages feature on the phone to express how they feel. It’s a cute ad and it gets across how Samsung is trying to market the Note8 outside of the productivity seekers.
