OK, now that I have your attention: this is a very funny ad.

Oh, goody:
At a Star Wars Celebration III in Indiana over the weekend, George Lucas told attendees that he is looking to develop a live-action TV series based on the classic film franchise.
According to published reports, Lucas said that production on the series is at least a year away, and that the main characters would not be the same as the key characters from the films. The TV show will probably be set between the upcoming Revenge of the Sith and the original Star Wars film.
Lucas also revealed that he plans to develop another release for his popular Indiana Jones trilogy.

Evidently, some people feel pretty strongly about this, even if it means grammar problems and typos:
This signed petition will be send to IBM requesting to make OS/2 Open Source or at least part of its components.
It is known that OS/2 isn't well supported by companies that make software or by individual developers, and OS/2 faces a high possibility of being replaced from the market. That's why we are making this petition to IBM so the OS/2 Technology can be freely distributed and developed around the world. We understand that making OS/2 Open source will be beneficial for the IBM customers knowing also the problems that IBM can face with the private source code but also offering a solution with the OS/2 Developer community.
We don't make this stuff up, folks.

Business Week has a feature this week on blogs (well, don't all the rags have to do one sooner or later?):
The question came up at a panel discussion last week: Any chance that a blog bubble could pop? The answer is really easy: no.
At least not an investment bubble. Venture firms financed only $60 million in blog startups last year, according to industry tracker VentureOne. Chump change compared to the $19.9 billion that poured into dot-coms in 1999. The difference is that while dot-coms promised to make loads of money, blogs flex their power mostly by disrupting the status quo.
The bigger point, which is blindingly obvious when you think about it, is that the dot-com era was powered by companies -- complete with programmers, marketing budgets, Aeron chairs, and burn rates. The masses of bloggers, by contrast, are normal folks with computers: no budget, no business plan, no burn rate, and -- that's right -- no bubble.
Rats. And here I thought this was going to make me rich.
