McDonald's made a music production station out of a paper tray

It's a wireless "piano" and tunes maker for your phone via your burger tray. That's a lot of joy being delivered from an unexpected source.

What a killer addition to your burger visit. Chances are that if you're not making the beats your dinning neighbor has figured it out and is jamming out. I'd return for another Big Mac with a side of loops and tunes. 

I wonder how many of these they started with vs. ended with. Kleptoville? What's the unit cost? Let's get a few more of these made. I want to try! Link.

So you want to build a data business? Play the long game.

Foursquare has the data to predict Chipotle's foot traffic decline and therefore their stock decline within 0.3% last quarter (Foursquare's prediction: -30%. Chipotle actual: -29.7%.). Woah. They also predicted the sales volume of iPhones more accurately than The Street did at the end of last year (Over 13 Million phones when The Street had them between 10 - 13M.

@Dens, Foursquare's co-founder, provided some guidance on the company in a tweet. "...Long term plan = learn as much as we can about what's happening in real world. Help consumers, enterprises, advertisers benefit." 

What else can Foursquare do with all that checkin and now movement data? What would you do with it? What kind of similar data does your business have (or could get and or start tracking) that it might not be leveraging or in a place to leverage? Link.

Living off the grid never looked so "egg." At what point do you buy a hunk of land and plunk a few of these on it? Hunting? Weekends? Live there for a month at a time? Link.

Super8 cameras for the modern times. I wish car companies would similarly support sliding your phone into your dash for infotainment. Link.

This app looks at your calendar and silences your phone during the times you have meetings. Duh! It's the second reason I've seen to get an Android phone this week. Link.
