The Sequel Trilogy / Re: Disney Buys LFL; Announces Episode 7

The main reason I have faith that this could be awesome is Kathleen Kennedy. 

Her resume is incredible.

What about Indy 5?  This has to mean the mouse will get us Indy 5 too, right?

I think so... they were already working on it and Kathleen Kennedy was already onboard... I don't see any reason this would negatively impact Indiana Jones movies...

Quite frankly, and I might be alone on this, I'd rather see Disney running the show than George Lucas.  There's at least a chance that they get it (more) right.

I wonder if "Episode 7" really means anything as far as timeline goes, and that it will follow things post-ROTJ.  Or, it could just mean new Star Wars, and fit in anywhere.  Do we see the OT "era" of stuff with recast Han/Luke/Leia (and no Vader?).  Do we see something way earlier like Old Republic type stuff?  Or do we see things all over the place like a Boba Fett movie (that has been discussed from time to time) then something else.  Really curious what we'll see.  You would think news could start rolling in pretty quickly if they are going to hit that 2015 date.  I mean, they won't necessarily be filming or anything yet, but at least cast/director/timeframe/etc.

I'm wondering the same thing... Lucas always said he had a 9 movie thing planned out from the beginning... I don't know how that would work given the age of the actors, or the content of his original ideas, but to me anything that builds on the OT instead of making new **** up for the PT would be better than what we saw over the last 10 or 15 years.

Still can't really tell if this is the truth or not, saw the posting on Facebook by Gentle Giant then googled some stories on it.  I was always assuming that once Lucas died they would be new movies made, just too much money out there that could be made.  Wonder what the story line for these new films would be.

Definitely real.  Every major news outlet imaginable is reporting it.

I've been saying for years that there's too much money involved to not make more SW movies... I didn't actually think it would happen though.

This is insane.

Maybe collecting will become cool again....

And, so now, everyone runs to dump their year old iPads that they upgraded to in order to get this new one, right?

   E...

Regarding the Mini... of course not, but people who didn't want to spend $600 or $700 on one for whatever reason have something to think about.  Kid wants an iPad?  Maybe it's more doable now. 

Regarding the full-sized one... maybe.  If the last generation holds it's value well, you can generally sell them and then buy the new one at a small out of pocket cost.  I've been doing that with my phone since the 3G (sometimes with no out of pocket cost).

Whatever they're thinking, I'm about done with that website.  I can't remember the last time I bought something there but I still go occasionally to sell,  but I sold an item for $45 last week and ended up paying damn near $10 in fees after eBay and Paypal (yeah, I know, same company) got done taking their chunks.

They've really gone too far to make it worth my time and effort, especially when I can sell on Craig's List for free without having to box anything up.

So I tried to sell an old Laptop that I don't use anymore on eBay this week.  I guess I aimed too high with the price, because despite lots of watchers, I didn't get any bids. 

So I go to re-list it and I get this message:

You can not submit your listing due to the following problems

You're almost done with your listing. There's just one more thing to do. It looks like you don't have a reimbursement payment method on file with us. Sellers must have a reimbursement payment method on file under our Buyer Protection Policy.

In order to complete your listing, please add your reimbursement payment method now . Once you're done, you'll be able to review and submit your listing.

Note: You can always change your selected reimbursement payment method in My eBay or cancel your reimbursement payment method by contacting us. Learn more about what eBay Buyer Protection means to sellers.

Anyone else dealt with that?  At a glance, I'm really not okay with this.  Every unpleasant eBay interaction I've ever had has been because a buyer tried to lie about what I'd sold them.  I had a lady tell me that the camera I mailed her didn't work, I had a guy tell me a T-shirt I sold was stained... stuff that I flat out know is bogus.

This policy seems like a way to totally screw sellers based on the word of a buyer, and I'm thinking the computer just goes onto Craig's List instead.  I Googled this policy and it sounds like it's been around for a year or so at least... so I'm also wondering why I was able to list the Laptop (and the other item I did sell last week) but am getting this triggered now when I'm trying to sell it at a lower price.

Lastly, that other item I sold... I noticed now that eBay is charging a commission on your shipping price.

What in the hell is that?  Why on earth does eBay feel entitled to take money on the cost of shipping?

Man... sorry to hear that.

One of mine got an ulcer on his eye this week... sounds worse than it is - some eye drops and an anti-infammatory and he's doing much better.

Don't worry.  They know it.

They're working overtime to fix their maps though... at some point in the not too distant future, they'll get caught up for the most part.

The 3D city view stuff is awesome though.
