With HDR microphones, powerful front-facing speakers and SenseVoice, I’d love to know how LocaMsg would perform on the HTC One. Wouldn’t you?

Connecting Cambridge…
While Cambridge is a wonderful place to live in in many ways (plenty of interesting and skilled jobs, wonderful countryside is never far, a disproportionate amount to see and do), it is not without its fair share of problems.

Indeed, I don’t believe it is present on my At World’s End or On Stranger Tides blu-ray discs (for it was shot between the two) – it’s fairly difficult to find. Luckily someone uploaded it to YouTube last year, so you can see it below. The story immediately precedes events in The Curse of the Black Pearl, explaining why Jack’s boat has a leak, why Scarlett and Giselle are rather unhappy with him and even hinting at why Cotton had his tongue cut out.

Adding a film category to Cantabits: difficult as many posts reference films. Sticking to posts about/with films and people in industry.
