There Is Another...Lightsaber

There Is Another...Lightsaber 07/01/2004 10:11 PM
Following up on a report from Rebelscum reader Caleb, I checked out my local Target store today and came across another lightsaber in the Original Trilogy Collection Role Play assortment: Anakin Skywalker's Electronic Lightsaber. This is the same toy that was released in the Saga and Clone Wars assortments, only this time in the black-and-silver packaging without the OTC logo. The basic lightsaber assortment was also hanging on the pegs, with a simple black-and-silver Star Wars logo.

Still Another OTC Lightsaber Found?

Still Another OTC Lightsaber Found? 08/17/2004 09:33 PM
In reponse to yesterday's report of a second prequel lightsaber being released in the Original Trilogy Collection Role Play assortment, Rebelscum reader JediDaxter writes in to let us know that he spotted yet another weapon in his local Wal-Mart in Mount Vernon, Illinois! This time it is Count Dooku's lightsaber. This is the same toy that was released in the Saga and Clone Wars assortments, only this time in the black-and-silver packaging without the OTC logo. Can Mace Windu's lightsaber be far behind?

This is the second time a prequel lightsaber has been found in the new packaging.

Our Master Replicas Photo Archives is updated today with two versions of the deadly weapon: a Limited Edition and a Signature Edition autographed by none other than Samuel L. Jackson, the actor who portrayed the master of the Vaapad fighting technique in Attack of the Clones.

Theater 07/29/2004 03:32 PM
Just last month we had a story about all that mobile phone induced anger, and it should be noted that police are not immune to such things. The Associated Press is reporting that a woman who answered a phone call from her mother during the opening credits of a movie was confronted by an off-duty cop who pulled her and her boyfriend out into the lobby and maced them, followed up with a charge of disorderly conduct. The police claim the story happened a bit differently, so choose who you want to believe. Either way, it's yet another story of mobile phone induced anger getting a bit out of hand.

WiMax From WalMart?

WiMax From WalMart? 08/10/2004 03:53 AM
Over at the Institute for the Future, they're wondering if WalMart might end up getting into the broadband business by hooking up WiMax base stations (once such equipment is actually available) on all their stores, covering much of the US in broadband. It's an interesting theory, and gets the attention of those who think that telecoms are a dying breed. Of course, it's really not that easy. Over at TheFeature, I've written up a longer piece looking at some of the challenges a company like WalMart might face in offering broadband services. However, it's certainly not impossible to count them out. After all, who thought Starbucks would be in the internet access business in the first place? If you take that to a larger scale, perhaps Walmart could get into the WiMax business as well. A more interesting question, however, may be how the world is going to look when there are plenty of "virtual" network operators, where one company offers up their brand for others to put on a network. Virgin has built up quite a set of businesses doing this, and in the mobile space, MVNOs are a hot topic. However, could companies do this for just about any kind of telecom/broadband offering... and more to the point, is there a real benefit in doing so? It's cool for a big brand name company to think they can suddenly get into a technology services business just by licensing out their brand name, but won't there be some risks (a la AT&T' s annoyance with AT&T Wireless' trampling of the brand) and some questions about just why you want to buy your internet service from Coca-Cola?

The Walmart Laptop

The Walmart Laptop 08/17/2004 09:00 PM

Just in time for back-to-school shopping, Walmart puts out an ultra-cheap laptop for under $600. It's an ECS A535, and comes with an Athlon 1.6GHz processor, 14" screen, wireless networking, and XP Home Edition.

As expected, Walmart continues its push of cheap imports with little regard for anything but its own bottom line.

I guess it's good for the US economy in one respect; cheap hardware like this will undoubtedly keep support guys plenty busy. And at that price you might as well buy two; one for a backup or for spare parts.

iPod Mini at Walmart

iPod Mini at Walmart 02/05/2005 09:16 PM

Oh great. Walmart is selling iPods.

Just think... Now you can — in one easy stop — get your oil changed, pick up groceries, the latest DVD release, a low-cost Lindows laptop, a fresh pack of underwear, a 100lb bag of dog food, a Schwinn Stingray bike for your kid's birthday, and buy an iPod. And oh so much more.

Good Lord Almighty, what's next? Mac Mini's at BestBuy? Oh wait; that's already happened!

Actually, I think getting Apple products into more non-Apple stores will do wonders to broaden the user base and help people better understand the Mac. What I don't get is Walmart selling iPods — which are portable little iTunes Music Service billboards — when they have their own online music service. And given all the reasons to hate Walmart, why would Apple want to deal with them in the first place?
