Any Starbucks regular can attest that it must be doing something right, but that doesn't mean they are doing it all. The company has created a virtual idea and complaint box of sorts: My Starbucks Idea allows customers to share ideas, ask questions, and learn about what they're doing behind the scenes.
It's a PR stint in most senses, but it does allow you the satisfaction of knowing you're putting your genius ideas out there. Sorry, folks, but a user named CustIdea has already suggested offering customers a free drink, after purchasing a set number of them. You can go ahead and mark that one off your list.

PC is so busted. If you caught The Daily Show Wednesday night, you would have seen John Hodgman (aka PC) "traveling through time" with an uber geeky time traveling "helmet", discussing the future of the economy. After being chased back to present times by Space Invaders, he was unable to reveal what lies ahead for us and our money. But he did reveal something very interesting: His iPhone. Yes, you heard me right — PC uses an iPhone!
I guess it was inevitable, since everyone and their mother is switching over to the Apple gem. And our very own Mayor here in SF refuses to part with his, even for a second. To check out the clip of John "PC" Hodgman whipping out his very own iPhone (so scandalous), just read more
