Where is the proof that the canister contained any active ingredients? My bet would be that the Ceo knew that it was only a saline solution and he injected him self to get some media attention.

By the looks of it, it seems they have a small problem. The system should at least be able to quickly determine that the subject is a SKELETON!! Maybe they should add a camera? :)

I think its a good comment. What if you thought it was cool that you could hack the entertainment system. But your hacks caused the system to overheat and set the plane on fire. Scary, you are better of just keeping you fingers away or wait until the plane has landed if you must must hack it. You can read more details of the crash on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swissair_Flight_111

The New Force at Lucasfilm 183

From the article: 'Pre-visualization, which is a big thing that George has been pushing lately. It's a tool that directors would use to quickly mock up the ideas of a story and see what's going to work. It's really like building up a preview of a movie in a video game world. Instead of using static story boards, you can really just get in and create 3D content and camera moves directly. It's the best example of the kind of collaboration we've got going on.'"
