Hasta La Gadget!

Breaking Bad fans in the UK looking for instant gratification won’t have to resort to the torrents anymore, as new episodes will hit Netflix in Ireland and the UK immediately after airing in the US. British viewers are accustomed to longer waits for such shows, but after broadcaster AMC worked with Netflix UK to make episodes of The Killing available sooner, the pair have now followed suit with Breaking Bad. Creator Vince Gilligan said the show has become a “phenomenon” in the countries, and added that he’s “delighted” that fans there will be able to enjoy it earlier. Magnanimity aside, the move will no doubt take some of the sting out of the piracy that’s inevitable with a long lag, too. Check the PR after the jump for more.

Like many, many (many) other programmers, NBC Universal’s USA Network has had its own iOS app, USA Anywhere, for quite some time. However, users have been disappointed with the lack of past episode availability, among other foibles, so USA has just taken the wraps off a new app called Anywhere Plus, available for free on iTunes. You’ll now be able to watch all its programs a day after they air and back episodes for certain shows, assuming you’re signed up for the network with a cable provider. Even if you’re not, selected episodes are now available along with behind-the-scenes clips, interviews and the like. You’ll also get a program guide and the usual social network bells and whistles, so if you’ve been looking to get your Psych or Burn Notice fix on the go, hit the source.
