There’s a reason this song made its way to the number one spot on the iTunes chart and still resides in the top ten. It’s good. I will point out, though, that some of the featured artists do bring it down some. Yeezy and Weezy’s verses are weak in comparison to Eminem’s crazy good verse that follows. It’s worth the listen for the catchy chorus, and even more so for Em’s ingenious rhyme-fest at the end. Download “Forever” on iTunes here.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, director, writer, genius J.J. Abrams will be execuive producer for a half-hour “comedic medical show” on FOX. The untitled comedy will be written by Mike Marowitz, who comes from Abrams’ production house Bad Robot. Like all of Abrams’ projects (Lost, Fringe), this project is being kept under heavy wraps until the team is ready to officially announce the major details (plot-line, characters, air date, etc.). All I know is that I am already excited for it. Anything that Abrams touches turns (more often than not) into pure, delicious gold. Bring on the funny, Abrams.

Fast & Furious alums director Justin Lin and producer Neal Moritz are set to remake the classic 1986 cult film Highlander. Peter Davis, one of the producers from the original Highlander series, is also on board to produce. Art Marcum and Matt Holloway (of Iron Man success) will pen the script. The original Highlander starred Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery, Clancy Brown and Roxanne Hart. Casting for the remake has not been decided yet.
Details are small on the direction of the film. According to insiders, “Summit’s plans to expand on the original Highlander premise of immortals battling amongst us and hunting each other through the ages. The new pic will center on an immortal Scottish swordsman who must confront a murderously brutal barbarian who lusts for a fabled prize.”
“THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.”

There’s just something about this trailer that’s getting me excited for the movie “Despicable Me.” Maybe it’s the great lineup of voice actors, the cool animation, or the awesome music played at the end of it…I just don’t know.
“Birds on the Wires” by Jarbas Agnelli.
Agnelli: “Reading a newspaper, I saw a picture of birds on the electric wires. I cut out the photo and decided to make a song, using the exact location of the birds as notes (no Photoshop edit). I knew it wasn’t the most original idea in the universe. I was just curious to hear what melody the birds were creating.”
Mr. Agnelli, this is quite an original idea, and I am very impressed by your observation and musical ability. To see the birds in such a fascinating pattern like that of musical notes, transform their locations into a melody, and share it with the world is a very cool achievement, to say the least. Readers, enjoy the creativity and splendor that is in the video above.

The Sony Ericsson MH907 earbuds rightly claim to be the first “motion activiated” headphones that feature SE’s “SensMe Control.” What does it do? When you place the earbuds into your ears, your music starts playing, no button mashing required. If you take a bud out of one ear, the music pauses, either to answer a call or to carry on conversation with a nearby pal. How does this work? The bud “requires [a] conductive surface to activate the controls.” Basically, when the buds touch the surface of your ear they know to start playing the tunes. When they are taken out from your ear they “sense” the removal and pause the music. So you won’t have any problems shoving the ‘phones in your pocket; they won’t turn on becuase they are not hitting a conductive surface.
Engadget has received this claficiation from SE: “SE has further clarified that the technology is capacitive in nature. In other words, removing an ear bud isn’t breaking the flow of current between buds (and across your noodle) — it’s destroying the dynamic capacitor formed by the touch of human skin.” Although this tech is not going to change things “forever” (as Sony Ericsson put it before the today’s unveil) it should make some impact in the market. Let’s wait and see if competitors try to up the ante.
The MH907 is available this week for “most Sony Ericsson phones with a fast port connector” for 39 euros, or roughly 60 US dollars.
