Steve Jobs, 1955-2011

What can we say that hasn’t been said by the people who knew him, worked with him, lived with him.

Steve Jobs was a perfectionist, a revolutionary, a visionary. Every little detail mattered, but still keeping the big picture in mind. He truly was a genius, and left his dent in the universe in ways many don’t even know.

Steve always knew the right words to say something, sometimes making a point with just a mere few words. And I’ll keep it like that here.

Star Tours is back, and everyone has to know it! Disney has launched a big media campaign, with some brilliant TV Ads. We all remember the rather fun Piece Of Cake commercial, but this one does, pardon the pun, takes the cake. Even the Dark Lord himself can’t wait to ride the new Star Tours.

The official Star Wars site just confirmed the long lasting rumour that the Star Wars saga will be having a re-release, in 3D. Starting with The Phantom Menace in 2012.

Lucasfilm Ltd. announced today that the live-action Star Wars Saga will be converted to 3D! There are few movies that lend themselves more perfectly to 3D; from the Death Star trench run to the Tatooine Podrace, the Star Wars Saga has always delivered an entertainment experience that is completely immersive. Presented by Twentieth Century Fox and Lucasfilm Ltd., the cutting edge conversion will take that immersion to the next thrilling level, with Industrial Light & Magic supervising the project. Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace is expected to be released theatrically in 2012. A release date has not yet been determined.
