in a climactic scene from “Return of the Jedi,” when Darth Vader hurls the evil Emperor to his demise on the Death Star, he would now shout “No!” (In all previous versions of “Jedi,” Vader has committed this crucial deed in silence.)”
On Wednesday, a press representative for Lucasfilm confirmed that this change will be included in the Blu-ray release, writing in an e-mail: “Yes — Darth says NO.”

Any questions?
So this is @irene. The real Irene.
At the beginning of last week, people began tweeting messages to me to, somehow, communicate with Hurricane Irene. In response, on Thursday, I posted "Btw, tweeting messages to @irene doesn’t deliver any messages to the hurricane. Sorry.“
Friends started retweeting the post, and more and more people started seeing it and following my account. By Friday morning, that tweet was reshared more than 100 times. I didn’t think much of it.
In case you missed it, here’s a collection of @irene’s entertaining tweets during the hurricane that said hi to the eastern seaboard of the United States.
Comex to start an internship at Apple
It’s been really, really fun, but it’s also been a while and I’ve been getting bored. So, the week after next I will be starting an internship with Apple.
Nicholas Allegra, creator of JailbreakMe, a teenager who impressed the heck out of experienced web security researchers Charlie Miller and Dino Dai Zovi, joins Apple.
You’ll be missed. Hopefully someone will buy the app off Google or add similar features to their own.
Google shuts down Slide, cuts off Photovine & Disco
Despite having been launched to positive reviews, Photovine is among Slide’s products to be shut down as the independently operated division will be dissolved. Google purchased Slide last year for $200m but never fully integrated the company into itself. The unit allowed to operate on its own accord, sometimes releasing products that are competing with Google’s own internal products.
Slide is also known to favor iOS over Android with Disco and Photovine being two of its most well known apps making appearance on iPhone first. Since Larry Page replaced Eric Schmidt as CEO, he’s been consolidating and restructuring the company. It looks like Slide does not fit within his vision.
Slide founder Max Levchin will leave Google, as will Slide’s head of product, Jared Fliesler, who will join Square.
Photovine is a beautifully designed, very well done app, something that could have come out of Flickr had the Yahoo! people realized what opportunities it has with the photo sharing site. Photovine lets you post photos according to themes and discover other people’s photos who happen to share the same theme.
