'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' Trailer Unites a Trio of Heroes

The most patriotic comic book hero needs help fending off evil in Marvel's upcoming Captain America: The Winter Soldier movie, and as the new trailer shows, Captain America and ally Black Widow find that assistance in the wing-wielding Falcon.
Captain America, played by Chris Evans, is trying to defend the nation's capital alongside Natasha Romanoff (a.k.a. Black Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson). The action-packed trailer sets the captain out to "neutralize a lot of threats before they even happen," according to Samuel L. Jackson's character, Nick Fury, the head director of international intelligence agency S.H.I.E.L.D.
Falcon, portrayed by Anthony Mackie, soars in to help battle the villains, including the sequel's namesake, Winter Soldier. The big bad guy is a brainwashed assassin — and Captain America's former best friend — played by Sebastian Stan. Robert Redford will debut in the film franchise as new S.H.I.E.L.D. leader Alexander Pierce.
The film is a sequel to 2011's Captain America: The First Avenger, which told the story of how ordinary Steve Rodgers morphed into Captain America. After a 60-year slumber, the World War II hero returned to protect the modern world.
Winter Soldier will arrive in theaters in the UK on March 26 and in the United States on April 4.

Background Audio Is Finally Coming To YouTube For Android

Google is quietly rolling out an update to YouTube for Android with version 5.2.27 on top of the current version 5.1.10. If you're eager to install it right now, we have some download links towards the end of the post.


Background audio should be finally coming to a YouTube app near you, if all goes well during testing. This feature will let you start a video, exit the app, and switch to something else without the audio stream dying, which is incredibly useful when listening to podcasts or music videos, or just quickly checking an incoming text. Moreover, it should work with the screen off.
Based on my observations of users' comments with every app update, background audio is now one of, if not the most, requested Youtube for Android feature.
While the setting, UI, and the background service for background audio are currently hidden, we managed to reveal the setting long enough to pose for a screenshot and are currently working on a possible Xposed module to enable it on rooted devices. No promises, as this may be a tough task, though if you can help make it happen, you'd instantly become a hero in the eyes of many.
Observe:

Here are several more relevant strings from the APK:
<string name="background_dialog_cancel_bgol">Cancel</string>
<string name="background_dialog_learn_more_bgol">Learn more</string>
<string name="background_dialog_message_bgol">YouTube can now keep playing in the background!</string>
<string name="background_dialog_ok_bgol">OK</string>
<string name="background_dialog_title_bgol">Background</string>
<string name="background_dialog_turn_off_bgol">Turn off</string>
<string name="pref_background_audio_enabled_summary_bgol">Continue playing audio when the app is running in the background or the screen is switched off</string>
<string name="pref_background_audio_enabled_title_bgol">Background audio</string>
<string name="syncing_video_bgol">Syncing video...</string>
<string name="youtube_playing_in_the_background_bgol">YouTube playing in the background</string>
Raise your hand if you've been waiting for this as much as I have.
