Another step closer to ruling the world

Jonathan "Winter" Smith, a Dallas-based computer technician, has visited 2,844 Starbucks franchises in the United States and 38 in the United Kingdom, sleeping in his car and sometimes hitting as many as 15 branches a day. We can only hope he's saved the festive green-and-white cups as souvenirs.

Starbucks opened four new shops in Vienna, a city of 1,900 coffeehouses, and then banned smoking. (The Viennese always smoke with their coffee.) Next up: non-alcoholic, non-smoking Whole Earth health food stores in Moscow.
