Zara to go into new markets; South Korea, Ukraine, Egypt and Montenegro. A refreshing change from China, China, China. (WWD)

Disney attempting again to predict the way we will live in the future. The House of The Future was a popular attraction at Disneyland 50 years ago and the new $15m version is being built in conjunction with big sponsors -- Microsoft Corp and Hewlett-Packard.
