Darth Vader: I'm Going to Disneyland! Star Tours baby!

Disney-fied version of the Imperial March?  If they wanted to do some serious crossover promotion, they should have had the Vader kid from the Volkswagen superbowl ad.

Wonder if he'd go to Empire On Ice?

Seeing as we had all the smartphone tweets this weekend...

So, you can play Pong with a smartphone at McD's in Sweden - from a browser, not an app. Double Down, you're on notice!

Flippin' Tomorrow's Cheese - Grilled Cheese that is

Here's a story fit for The Cheese as we like to call it. Tech entrepreneur Jonathan Kaplan, famous for those Flip HD cameras that Cisco bought and subsequently discarded, is going into some new venture revolving around grilled cheese stores.

The idea is simple: customers visit a website and place an order for a grilled cheese sandwich (of which there are an assortment of varieties to choose from) and then a QR code of their order is generated and once presented at any store location, the order is whipped up on the spot - within a minute according to the plan.
