The film explores the darker side of social networking.  It’s set on a luxury private plane where the four passengers are under the impression that they have won an all expenses paid trip to New York, courtesy of Facebook equivalent all2gethr.com.

Forced to give up their mobile phones for the duration of the flight the passengers are greeted upon take-off, by the face of a talking alligator on the television monitors.  The sinister alligator introduces them to the in-flight entertainment: a game based on their internet habits. Eager to play with the mention of expensive prizes, the contestants agree to partake in the game, which is soon to become an unrelenting nightmare at 30,000 feet.

The film, dubbed ‘SAW on a Lear jet’ is smart and fresh with a tight script and left us a little bit nervous of using Facebook.

You can buy the Blu-ray here and DVD from here, the film will be available on iTunes soon!

Industry sources also indicated that Apple would discontinue the iPod Classic, which launched 10 years ago this month, as it focuses on a new generation of Internet-connected devices.

The expansion of “iTunes in the Cloud” from the US, where it was made available in the US in June, will allow people who have bought songs from Apple’s iTunes Music Store to synchronize them among multiple devices such as PCs, iPhones and iPads via wireless connections. Previously they would have to connect them to a computer and synchronize them.

The technology giant has been locked in negotiations with the four major music groups—EMI, Sony (NYSE: SNE), Warner and Universal—to seal the “iTunes in the Cloud” deal in time for Tuesday’s announcement.

“Apple has been sitting at tables to get this through, as opposed to Amazon (NSDQ: AMZN) and Google (NSDQ: GOOG) who have just been seeing how much they can get away with,” said one person with knowledge of Apple’s plans. Amazon and Google launched their own “music locker” schemes in the US, letting people store their music online, but there is little evidence that they have seen any broad takeup. Neither service is available outside the US

Based on the hugely successful biography of the same name Mr Nice tells the incredible story of the life of Howard Marks – ‘the world’s most sophisticated drug smuggler’ .

At the height of his powers Marks had 43 aliases, eighty nine phone lines and owned twenty five companies trading throughout the world, whilst simultaneously smuggling consignments of up to 30 tonnes of marijuana and keeping contacts with organisations as diverse as MI6, the CIA, the IRA and the Mafia.

Mr Nice stars Rhys Ifans as Marks and Chloe Sevigny as his trusting wife Judy. Marks is shown to be an intelligent, hard-working man whose journey takes him the across the world, from hashish farms in Pakistan and Afghanistan to the dreary insides of a German prison.  The brilliant yet traumatic final twenty minutes of the film adequately sum up a man’s life, who is most probably one of the most intelligent drug smugglers to have ever lived.
