Target Makes Cashiering More Tolerable By Turning It Into a Game
Apparently, Target cashiers now play a "game" when checking people out at the register. The game scores you based on how fast you're doing your job. This does not sound like a very fun game. More » -

It isn't much, but I have to give Target credit for trying yet another unique approach to gift cards. This time, they are attempting to make the card two gifts in one with remote control functionality. More » -

We won't know anything for certain until someone from Microsoft gets up on stage and says it. Or until they put out a press release. [Target]
