‘The X-Files’ to make a comeback in the US in January

The X-Files ended its original run in 2002. Now, we’re just that much closer to the comeback as Fox announced the debut of the new six-episode “event series.” The X-Files, starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson as Fox Mulder and Dana Scully, will be coming back on Sunday, January 24^th in the US. It’ll be debuting after the NFC championship football game and then it will be moving to its Monday 8PM time slot.

We’re hoping it makes its way here because we can’t wait for this classic to make a comeback. This short series comes from the original mastermind Chris Carter. We aren’t sure about the details yet but we’re willing to bet there are aliens.

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.

Non-US Nexus 7 Tablets will not get the same exclusive content

Nexus 7 tablet buyers from Canada, Australia and the UK will not receive the TV shows, magazines and music that US buyers will have access to when the device ships later this month.

During the 7-inch tablet's release at Google I/O last week, it was heavily promoted that those who purchased the tablet would have access to 'thousands of movies' and the 'world's largest collection of e-books', but until international licensing agreements are ironed out, it could be a long while before these other countries can enjoy the other content offerings from Google.

This means that aside from existing apps, eBooks and the videos currently available to these countries, many of the key content pieces that make the Nexus 7 so compelling will be missing, possibly for months.
