Netflix for Android supports your binge watching with new update

Watching Netflix on your Android device before wasn’t conducive for binge-watching sessions. Now, Netflix wants to support your habits with a new “post-play” feature. After each TV show episode, the app will now automatically queue up the next episode on your smartphone or tablet and start playback after 15 seconds, unless you pause or stop the app that is. Tablet users have the additional feature of getting three movie recommendations after finishing one flick.

According to Netflix, post-play will make its way to Chromecast in the coming months. However, for Android phones, tablets, and Amazon Kindle Fire devices running Android 4.0 or greater, you can download the app from Google Play now.

Google tests ‘Notification Glance’ for Glass

Google has added a new experimental feature for Google Glass that will make it easier for users to pull up notifications. Called Notification Glance, the feature lets users use a glance to pull up any notification that comes in. Users can opt to use this instead of nodding their heads or tapping on the touchpad. After the update comes in, users can activate the feature through the Notification Glance card in the Settings menu. You just have to remember that this feature is still in its testing phase though.
