Netflix launches on-demand birthday wishes for kids

Kids birthday parties have become pretty competitive over the past few years. Thanks to social media shares and Pinterest "inspiration", parents have taken their kids' birthday parties to a whole other level. We've all seen it. Moms who are obsessed with planning the parties for a four year old that is equivalent of a Sweet 16 party. Nothing wrong with that. I may have fallen in that obsession myself. After all, we gave birth to humans and these days we are looking for a reason to celebrate anything! 

But what we don't need is the stress of planning a party.

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.
