LucasArts Employees Hold Wake & Eulogy; Vader Still Roams
Dawn Kawamoto writes "LucasArts employees held a wake Friday night, days after Darth Vader Disney slayed their studio. Taking the high road, two LucasArts employees put together a eulogy that offers a retrospective on the culture, memories and accomplishments of the team. Most of us who've witnessed a blood bath at the workplace aren't as charitable. Darth Vader Disney is expected to strike again in the next two weeks at its studio and consumer product divisions."

Lucas sold out in 2012 because Disney gave him a butt load of cash. Don't kid yourself.
The author of the Dice "news story" and the "business intelligence story" is also the submitter. Dawn Kawamoto is a Dice employee who has had two story "submissions" accepted in the last three days. Her other one was the H-1B visa cap story, which notes her as "First time accepted submitter Dawn Kawamoto." She's not an accepted submitter, she's a shill for your corporate overlords, Timothy. Again, a story about people looking for jobs and how tough the market is.
Bottom line: if you see Kawamoto's name listed as the submitter, you know it's a Dice ad right away.
Dice: You bought slashdot. Fine. But if you're going to try to pass your content off as news, instead of sponsored content, people will leave and you will have wasted your money. If you want to post an ad, call it what it is. Deception will get you nowhere on this site. You said you weren't going to interfere with Slashdot's editorial independence. Honor your commitment.
