Responsive YouTube Player



Remember the YouTube experiment that resized the player dynamically? Now it's a regular YouTube feature.



"When using YouTube on your computer, the size of your video player will automatically adapt based on the available space in your browser window. If your browser is larger than a certain size, you will see a larger player by default. If you want to manually change the size of your video player, resize your browser window," informs YouTube.






Another change is that the "large player" setting is called "theater mode" and has a black background.



Here's a video that shows the new features:





Google Play Services Delivers Security Updates



One of the most important new features announced at Google I/O was that Google Play Services will deliver security updates.



Google Play Services started as a way to solve Android's fragmentation problem: instead of adding APIs to new Android versions, they were added to Play Services, which was bundled with almost any Android device and updated automatically by Google. Play Services became a clever tool that allowed Google to add new features to Android without waiting until phone manufacturers update their software.



Now it looks like Google can deliver timely security updates using the same software bundle. Apparently, Google uses a "Dynamic Security Provider, which offers an alternative to the platform's secure networking APIs that can be updated more frequently, for faster delivery of security patches."



Google Play Services is updated every 6 weeks and about 93% of the Android devices have the latest version.
