Behind-the-scenes reel of new 'Star Wars' film shows new details

Fresh out  of the San Diego Comic Con, we get more details or at least a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming Star Wars film a.k.a. Star Wars: The Force Awakens. And we have to say we're pretty stoked with what we're seeing so far. We get soundbites from some of the fresh faces on the franchise and just see actors and crew members being generally excited to be working on a Star Wars set. We see the likes of Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford on set. Peter Mayhew inside the iconic Chewbacca costume. And yes, we see a lot of alien costumes, droids, storm troopers, TIE Fighters, and the comeback of the Millennium Falcon with a new pilot onboard. 

There seems to be an emphasis on mixing pre-digital and digital effects into this film. And the J.J. Abrams-led film is stressing how they're building real sets and using pre-digital means to make this film happen.

Samsung rumoured to be unveiling Galaxy Note 5 mid-August to oneup 'iPhone 6s' launch

If you follow Samsung's schedule for releases, the next Note device should show up at IFA Berlin conference. But it would seem they won't be following this schedule, if rumours are to be believed, that is. A source told The Wall Street Journal that Samsung plans to unveil its next Galaxy Note device at a special event in the U.S. around mid-August. The move is supposedly meant to preempt the publicity for the latest iPhone iteration (iPhone 6s or whatever it's new name will be). If this pushes through, Samsung will be joining the line of big tech companies that prefer to hold special events for their launches (Apple, Google, and Microsoft).
