Watched first 20 mins of: Class of '92: Out of Their League
Watched first 20 mins of: Class of '92: Out of Their League Could have been an interesting insight into non-league footy & the group of ex-players, but it's rubbish. Stupid music, voice-over for idiots, fast editing & contrived conversations & settings for sound bytes... creating a "character" of the male-model-striker. Stupid telly. http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/34666778

So, you've watched new trailer for "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" a hundred times, but have you examined the special moments in excruciating detail yet?

Wowsa! // The electromechanical implants were nothing short of an engineering marvel. The highly miniaturized series of circuits were stuffed into a metal bar that ran the length of the typewriter, making them invisible to the naked eye. The implant, which could only be seen using X-ray equipment, recorded the precise location of the little ball Selectric typewriters used to imprint a character on paper. With the exception of spaces, tabs, hyphens, and backspaces, the tiny devices had the ability to record every key press and transmit it back to Soviet spies in real time. //

Advice sought re earbuds...
Advice sought re earbuds... hoping people here can give some advice. I need to buy some new earbuds, mostly to be used with my Nexus 7 (2nd gen) & Moto X (2014). I'm in the UK. Which medium-high quality brands/lines are most "Android friendly" in terms of in-line controls (vol, track control etc.). Just wanting to avoid buying something non-optimum :)

*Enjoyed BBC4's: Music for Misfits: The Story of Indie (Pt 1 of 3)
*Enjoyed BBC4's: Music for Misfits: The Story of Indie (Pt 1 of 3) Lots of nice interviews & archive material from some great people (& also G.P. Orridge)- http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06g64wb Interesting contrasting the ease of independently producing & distributing music back the vs now. Still a challenge to earn a living as a musician but today's artists have more freedom & access to a potential audience than any artists in history. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b06g64wb
