I'll pass. In my opinion, Lucas has already drained the life out of the Star Wars franchise. I say, "Move along, nothing to see here." - Anthony K Valley
zactly. George, please, find another franchise to mess with. - felix
Actually, looking forward to it. (will duck now, avoid the backlash) - Nice Fish Films
NFF - hah! You're kicked out the cool kidz club. Requirement #1, hatin' on Lucas. :) - felix
Heh... Creator, writer, producer, director... but he can't mess with the franchise, no.... Perspective, please! - Michael W. May
Michael - he could mess with it if every time he's touched it after the 3rd one (arguably even w/in the 3) he didn't make them worse. Sometimes retroactively worse! - felix
It would be a neat trick to render 2D acting into 3D - Dave Pelland
you know it's because lucas hates humans, right? - faboo mama
Steampunk Star Wars would renew my faith in that franchise...Though I do think that "The Force Unleashed" will do a good job of drawing me back in :P - Sean Dunn
As a Star Wars Fan Boy... Wahoo! As a movie go-er and lover of film I say thank you Mr Lucas. This way of producing this 3D effect is a new technology and has only just begun to be applied to a few films. If any person can showcase this new technology it's Lucas, and if any film can showcase the spectical and potential it holds it's the Star Wars films. And Lucas has a track record of bringing these new techs to wider use. THX, ILM, 100% Digital Film, Pixar, Avid Film and Video and Digidesign Pro Tools... - John Worthington
Is this Lucas' way of acting out or a cry for help? I mean, Episode 1,2 & 3 were bad enough, now 3D? Intervention George, you need it. - AJ Kohn
sorry felix, i have to hide this. BLASPHEMOUS on allll sortsa levels! - Mona N
This is just sad. How Lucas continues to rape the franchise borders on necrophilia. - Louie
"LOL, fantastic. (I still always want to type phantastique :) The warm weather definitely mellows out a croc. Also, next time I'm at the table with a big slab of tofu, you *know* I'm gonna try that spinning move.
Ken, could be! I guess long years of learning. :)" - felix
"And you know that Mike Cera has this insane fanbase of women, which you might have seen at Comic-Con last year, but it's gotten even bigger since "Superbad" came out. Essentially, every single woman wants him." -- hee hee - felix via Bookmarklet
:) It was odd to see that guy standing there above the crowds (these shots do *not* do the crowds justice) with the binoculars. Oh shark week, you make NYC funny year after year! - felix
You just kinda think this stuff doesn't happen anymore. But it does! I love it. As long as I don't get more spam from him, that is... ;) - felix via Bookmarklet
When they find him, if it takes a few minutes for the officers to get the dogs under control, I'd be okay with that. Bastard. - James Williams (willia4)
Sadly, I suspect this stuff is rampant. We only think sweatshops are all happening somewhere not in the US. - felix
@Felix...I know, it's everywhere...bottom dollar, bottom dollar, bottom dollar. Still, I slip into my pollyanna dress once and awhile and like to believe that when you come to our wonderful first world country, you won't be subjected to this type of treatment. I'm not naive, just disappointed in human behavior...again. - Anna Haro
"Charlie, true - what I meant by SEO play is not the value of the outlinks but the value of the inlinks.. Wikipedia gets crazy SEO because everyone links into it. Google hates this because Wikipedia doesn't have ads, so it needs content that will do well in the SERPs so people find stuff other than Wikipedia. Inbound links will send traffic directly and indirectly to Knol. I just don't think it'll get that kind of inbound linking it needs to come close to Wikipedia. I guess time's going to tell!
Outlinks that there is still some sort of google juice that gets spread even with nofollow links. I've been monitoring my blog in the SERPs for "felix". I have almost no links with that as the text but I'm often on the second page, I think do to various comments I leave (all nofollowed) on blogs that link here. Not proven, but I started looking when I read that some SEO folks were beginning to believe that." - felix
"Each service adds a few more data points about you inside the Facebook brain, which is quite aware of your activities inside the Facebook ecosystem. The brain can then crunch all that information and build a fairly accurate image of who you are, what you like and what might interest you. With all that information at its disposal, Facebook can build a fairly large cash register."... I think that's why it shouldn't win, and I hope it doesn't. - Hassan Ibraheem
Hassan, I completely hear you and agree! But I think it is inevitable. It's like remember back in the day when there was all the horror about Doubleclick tracking your movements across sites? Yeah... that worked out just fine for Doubleclick, I think data like this is just going to happen. - felix
"On July 21, 2008, Friendfeed crawled Flickr 2.9 million times to get the latest photos of 45,754 users, of which 6,721 visited Flickr in that 24-hour period, and could have potentially uploaded a photo." - Umm.. DAMN. - felix via Bookmarklet
seriously... I'm kinda thinking about jailbreaking, even though I avoided it the whole pre2.0 time. Sigh. - felix
I've been thinking about the same thing, but am still on the fence - my work is likely going to spring for a 3G model, so I may jailbreak the 1st gen once the new one is setup. - Jennifer Dittrich
Jennifer, you going to tote 2 iPhones around? ;) Also, nice work picking you up a 3G! - felix
Thanks! Sadly, my ISP is down and thus my site. It was pretty much just *barely* on techmeme, sent almost no traffic, but dammit, it was there! :) - felix
