Filming Has Begun!



 The Disney Studios chairman, Alan Horn, confirmed that filming has already begun on the upcoming "Star Wars Episode VII" during an April 2nd interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
Michael B. Jordan and Saoirse Ronan previously confirmed they'd auditioned for the movie, and recently, Oscar winner Lupita Nyong'o met with director/producer/screenwriter J.J. Abrams.
Other stars whose names have been linked with the hush-hush project include Benedict Cumberbatch, Adam Driver, Zac Efron, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Jack O'Connell, Alex Pettyfer and Jesse Plemmons.
In March 2014, Carrie Fisher announced that she will be moving to London for six months to reprise her role as Princess Leia. Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill are also expected to return as Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, respectively.
"Star Wars Episode VII" will be released in December 2015 and said the story will pick up "where VI left off--and where VI left off is 35 years ago by the time this is released." 
Star Wars creator George Lucas will act as creative consultant on the seventh movie and future films in the franchise.

9 Tech Habits You Should "Break"

Maybe you are pretty "tech-savvy" but do you know how to save the life of your phone or computer or tablet?
By Erik Sofge | Men's Journal – Mon, Mar 31, 2014 
#1 Compulsively Charging Your Devices
The lithium-ion batteries in your devices are dying, one charge cycle at a time. Yes, each recharge essentially burns away some of the battery's internal chemical processes. That steady march towards obsolescence can be slowed, though, by knowing when to pull the plug.
Phones and tablets that get a compulsive, 5 percent burst of power from a car charger or workplace outlet still lose a full cycle, and laptops that stay plugged into the wall are steadily eating through cycles, while also heating those batteries, further shortening their lifespans. To stave off the inevitable, charge devices to full, run them close to empty, and repeat.
