Australian Restaurant Swaps Menus For iPads

Imagine this: you go into a restaurant, sit down and are approached by a waiter. But instead of handing you a printed menu, he hands you an iPad. This is exactly what's happening at Global Mundo Tapas, a restaurant in Sydney, Australia that has replaced their regular menus for the Apple gadget.

Using the MenuPad app, customers are able to view all the menu items, check out photos of the dishes and place orders with a simple finger tap. It's a great tool for the restaurant, because they can easily change the menu whenever they want without having to waste money on reprinting costs.

Can't decide what you'd like to eat? The iPad app can even make dish suggestions for you based on the weather and your mood. Seriously.

Are iPad menus about to take over the world? The technology that the Apple device uses is similar to online delivery services that are already available on the Web, so it's no surprise that "there's an app for that." But at $500 a pop, it would be a pretty pricey expense for restaurants, and could tempt people to dine-and-dash away with their iPad menus. What do you think?

Elena Kagan Gets Asked About 'Twilight' in Her Supreme Court Confirmation Hearings

No matter where you turn, people are talking about Twilight, including U.S. senators! During her confirmation hearings this week, Supreme Court nominee Elena Kagan appeared before the Senate and was presented with many topics, including how she feels about the case of Edward vs. Jacob.

In the video clip, Senator Amy Klobuchar talks about taking her children to see a midnight showing of Eclipse. With a smile, she then asks the former dean of Harvard Law School, who hasn't seen the film, about her thoughts on vampires vs. werewolves. "I wish you wouldn't," she replies.

Elena Kagan is the first woman to hold the office of Solicitor General of the United States, and, if confirmed, she'll be the fourth woman to ever sit on the U.S. Supreme Court.

But was her response to Senator Klobuchar a diss on Stephenie Meyer's beloved series? Or was she just trying to change the subject so she didn't have to talk about something she's unfamiliar with? Check out the clip and decide for yourself.

 

How to See Justin Bieber in the Blink of an Eye


Justin Bieber's
fans are incredible. They're super vocal about their love for the 16-year-old pop star, they will do anything to see him in person and now one of them has created a sweet little game that allows you to see JB just by blinking your eyes.

All you have to do is stare at the silhouette of Justin for 30 seconds, look away at the wall and blink. With every open and shut of your eyes, you'll be able to see the details of the Canadian singer's face. So fun, right?

 

Happy Birthday Ashley Tisdale!

Ashley Tisdale turns 25 today!

She's been one of our favorite celebs since her High School Musical days. It's hard to believe that was four years ago! To many she's one of the most popular and interesting young stars out there, unless you ask Trace Cyrus of course!

What are her b-day plans for today? Nothing has been posted on her personal Twitter account . That could be because she's super busy with her new TV show, Hellcats, that's supposed to premiere this fall.

Tisdale is also in a serious relationship with Scott Speer, so maybe he'll have some cool plans for her today?

Anyway, we wish her the best of time throughout her day and encourage readers to send her some birthday wishes below!

This time around, Jessica just finished hanging out with her devotees at a special meet-and-greet. "I LOVE meeting my fans!" she tells JSYK. "I just came back from doing a meet-and-greet with radio winners. Everyone was SO NICE!"

In our exclusive video, the L.A. native also talks about her wardrobe, her set list and the unique way she goes about ordering food."I'm getting ready for my show tonight and trying to figure out what I am going to wear, LOL," she says. "The shows have been getting better and better and it's so weird to look into the crowd and see the fans singing my songs. It's SO COOL!"

"I love to dance and I always do even when I'm not on stage. I have a habit of dancing while ordering food when we go to rest stops on the bus! LOL. It's so silly but I can't help it! I hope I get to see all of you guys soon! Love you!"
