Hulu is hoping to make this holiday season a special one for Android users by giving them the ability to stream shows for free, without a Hulu Plus subscription. The current seasons of shows like South Park, Gotham, The Tonight Show and Brooklyn Nine-Nine are all free to watch for a limited time — but only if you live in the U.S.

Google has updated its incredibly popular Chromecast to add a new guest mode that allows anyone in the room to stream content to your device without having to connect to your Wi-Fi network. The Chromecast companion app for Android has also been given a Material Design makeover, while its screen casting feature is now officially in beta with support for a wider range of devices.

Google appears to have stopped selling the Nexus 5 in red or white after both devices vanished from the Play Store last night. Only the black model now remains in both 16GB and 32GB variants, however, both of those are currently out of stock, too.

Custom watch faces for Android Wear devices have long been a thing, but they’ve never officially been supported with a proper watch face API. That’s changing with a major Android Wear update that Google is going to be rolling out to users over the next week. The search giant has even partnered up with some big names to demonstrate just how pretty custom faces can be.
