Lucas lost me too. I was disappointed with Episode I, and very disatisfied with Episode II. Where he could have corrected his attitude, Lucas chose to go even further with the "Star Wars is for kids, too" thing. I don't know what was the most difficult to bear; that horrible CGI Yoda, or the laughter that filled the theater during that final fight scene. And I am not talking about the rest of the movie...
These years, I have had the feeling that Star Wars episodes hit the shelves of toy shops rather than the theaters. Even if this "third" episode is good enough to make me forget the ubiquitous merchandising, it's too late. You can get away with screwing up one episode, but not two in a row.
Damn. And European Evening News are only beginning to tell how wonderful it will be for all mobile users to have their batteries enhanced by a cheap sticker.
Information inertia is the plague that keeps rumors and this kind of fake alive.
Some say they are likely to introduce Robix technology, that makes mobile phones smaller and much more colorful (mostly shades of red) than those that are using BatMax.
Yep, noticed that also;)
But BatteryLife went further; it looks like they really got their "product" tested by some (supposedly independent) hardware sites like XtremeComputing.co.uk; just have a look. French site FreePaq.com is even sellign it.
And BatteryLife claims they will be at CeBIT 2005 in Hannover.
I've been hearing about these stickers for a few weeks... just have a look at http://www.batterylife.de/BatteryLifew -- strikingly similar. According to them it's a japanese invention. And maybe the new "startup" thingie out there?

TV builds YOU!
Well unfortunately, it happens much too often in many other parts of the world...
