"Many of your favorite streaming series and movies are already available for download, with more on the way, so there is plenty of content available for those times when you are offline. For example, Orange is The New Black, Narcos and The Crown are available for download today," said the company in an official statement.
Here is what we do know: users can choose between standard and higher quality downloads (although the latter will obviously require more storage space and take longer to download) and the feature is available on all phones and tablets that run on iOS 8.0 or later and Android 4.4.2 or later.
Folks who don't have a Netflix subscription will be delighted to know that the streaming platform has opted to make ten of its most critically acclaimed TV shows and films available for free to all starting now.
The ploy is clearly Netflix's way to lure in new subscribers as other networks the likes of HBO and NBC have launched their own streaming platforms, offering both original and syndicated content. In case the gimmick does work on you (but, really, why don't you have a Netflix subscription yet?), here is everything new that's hitting the platform this month.
Exception: Some Netflix Original educational documentaries are available for one-time educational screenings. To find out which titles are available for educational screenings, visit Netflix Media Center and search for the documentary by title.
Explanation: The Netflix Terms of Use specifies that the account is "for your personal and non-commercial use only." Netflix is not alone here. Amazon Prime, Hulu, and other personal streaming vendors do not grant rights for institutional or educational use.
This is important because licenses overrule copyright exemptions. Showing your personal DVD during class is covered by a specific copyright exemption (Section 110), and showing clips can be covered by fair use (Section 107). However, there is no copyright exemption for showing videos in the classroom from personal subscription video services when the license prohibits such viewing.
To find out which titles are available for educational screenings, visit media.netflix.com and search for the title or browse our recent and upcoming releases. Below, there is an incomplete list of documentaries that are covered by this educational screenings permission. Titles that are available for educational screening will display the following grant of permission on their details page:
Consequently, we will permit one-time educational screenings - "one-time screening" means that you can't hold screenings several times in one day or one week, but if, for example, you're an educator who wants to show the titles once a semester over multiple semesters, that's okay.
Most of the movies are all available on video on demand, via YouTube (which offers movies for a fee, beyond all those free video clips), Amazon Prime Video, VUDU, FandangoNOW and Google Play. But not all. More on that in a minute.
Amazon does, however, offer many of the top nominated films, for a fee. The going rate is $5.99 for many of the contenders. Some are even more expensive. Amazon charges $19.99 to watch animation nominee Ralph Breaks the Internet, but has First Reformed, which is up for best original screenplay, for just 99 cents.
Bohemian Rhapsody, for instance, is available in HD on YouTube. However, if you'd like to see the story of the rock band Queen in 4K ultra-high-definition, you don't have a lot of choices. You'll need to be watching on recent Sony or Samsung 4K TVs, or you'll need to spring for Google's under-the-radar $69.99 Chromecast Ultra streaming device and watch it that way. The Ultra connects to the TV and asks you to watch via a smartphone app to "cast" the movie wirelessly to the TV.
VUDU, the service owned by Walmart, offers films in HD, "HDX," which is slightly higher resolution, and UHD 4K. But on VUDU, A Star is Born is available in just HDX, while Rhapsody streams in HD, HDX and UHD, all for $5.99.
FandangoNOW, the service from the company that sells online tickets, does offer Born in 4K, as does Apple--but only if you own the Apple TV 4K $179.99 set-top box, the model that costs $30 more than the entry-level Apple TV box. If you watch the film on your iPhone or iPad, Cooper and Gaga are in 1080p HD.
We don't mind paying to watch the films, especially when the fees are so much more reasonable than what's being charged at the theaters. But the usage rules are ripe for changing. The studios shouldn't make us jump through hoops to see the films in 4K. How hard would it be to have a uniform viewing policy?
Samsung unfolds a $2,000 phone. The new Samsung Fold is the most expensive smartphone ever. It opens as a standard 4.6-inch screen smartphone, and then unfolds to display a 7.3-inch tablet "with enough screen real estate to display and use three apps at once," notes USA TODAY's Edward C. Baig. But it still starts at an opening price of $1,980. Ask Apple how sporting the world's most expensive iPhone turned out for the company.
Google put a mic in the Nest security system and forgot to tell people. "The on-device microphone was never intended to be a secret and should have been listed in the tech specs. That was an error on our part," Google told USA TODAY. Oops!
Speaking of the Oscars, a bonus for Talking Tech fans. Selfie alert! I went around Hollywood recently documenting locations from classic films from La La Land to Sunset Blvd. Check it out and let me know what you think.

Disney (DIS -0.91%) is about to upend the entire streaming ecosystem by launching Disney+, the much-anticipated "Netflix killer." Disney's streaming service will be the "forever home" of all of its enviable pop-culture intellectual property -- including Marvel and Star Wars, and all of their attendant films and TV shows, past and future.
Only that's not exactly what Disney+ will have when it launches on Nov. 12. Thanks to existing streaming deals, Disney is still a ways away from consolidating its many media properties on the service. And in an interesting role reversal, Disney actually stands to lose some of its own films to Netflix (NFLX -1.03%) -- for a little while, anyway.
When it comes to licensing deals, the big narrative right now is certainly not that Disney+ is losing content. On the contrary: Disney is supposed to be bringing all of its content home. That's shaping up to be a major problem for existing subscription video on demand (SVOD) services, particularly Netflix.
When Netflix launched, it had its pick of the litter when it came to streaming deals: It was, after all, the only game in town. Then, the competition arrived and started to grow. A big part of the problem for Netflix is that its newest streaming rivals aren't just tech companies -- many are media giants looking to consolidate their TV and movie firepower behind their own services. Just as original content helps Netflix operate more efficiently, it also makes sense for content owners to create streaming services -- if Netflix makes "original shows," these show and movie owners are creating "original streaming services." It's the same formula in reverse.
So Netflix isn't just gaining competition. It's losing titles, including popular shows like The Office (which is heading to Comcast's new NBCUniversal SVOD service, Peacock) and, of course, massively popular Disney films like Star Wars: The Force Awakens and Avengers: Infinity War.
