CptnKirk writes "Alienware is now offering their high-end PCs pre-pimped with Star Wars themes. These systems have the usual assortment of configuration options. They're then additionally modded with your choice of Light Side or Dark Side themes. External decals, light kit and desktop theme. They even throw in a membership to the official Star Wars online fan club. I admit, booting the system to "what is your bidding my master", sounds appealing."

Ben: That's no article. That's an advertizement.

Han: Don't be silly, no honest company would run an advertizement as a front page sto... I've got a bad feeling about this...

Tarkin: Would you prefer another advert, a lucrative advert? Then name the vendor! I grow tired of asking this so it'll be the last time: Where is the sales base?
Princess Leia: Kuro5hin. They're on Kuro5hin.
Governor Tarkin: There. See, Lord Vader, she can be reasonable. Continue with the operation. You may advertise when ready.
Princess Leia: What?
Governor Tarkin: You're far too trusting. Kuro5hin is too obscure to make an effective demonstration - but don't worry; we'll deal with your rusty's friends soon enough.
