iPhone Glitch: Automatically Emailing Nudes!
"Please help! I took my husband's i-phone and found a raunchy picture of him attached to an e-mail to a woman in his sent e-mail file (a Yahoo account). When I approached him about this (I think that he is cheating on me) he admitted that he took the picture but says that he never sent it to anyone. He claims that he went to the Genius Bar at the local Apple store and they told him that it is an i-phone glitch: that photos sometimes automatically attach themselves to an e-mail address and appear in the sent folder, even though no e-mail was ever sent. Has anyone ever heard of this happening? The future of my marriage depends on this answer!"
My favorite part is when someone posted the lyrics to Beyonce's If I Were A Boy.
Clearly this is a problem that Apple will be looking into. I can't tell you how many times my iPhone undressed me, took my n00dz and automatically emailed them out to my contacts! RIDICULOUS!!
Yanko Design
What is the easiest way to get attention for your product or design? You already guessed from the title, SEX! Phillippe Di Méo is no stranger to this concept and has teamed up with companies like Baccarat, Goyard, Cristofle and Orfèvrerie d’Anjou. They created this series of sexy housewares items that are sure to inspire saucy conversations with some spicy results. Notable highlights are the Baccarat Ecstasy Bottle Stopper and the Aphrodisiac Herb necklace. I have no idea what that is used for other than tea….really.

Need help making simple decisions? The Instant Feeling concept may just be the ticket. Simply rip off each petal one by one muttering you indecisiveness and let the last petal standing be your answer. It’s supposed to stimulate a person’s sensitivity with an unorthodox reaction because each petal bursts into flames after pulling it out. A reminder that once a decision is made, there’s no going back.
Designer: Cung-Young Chu
These RGB glasses just may be the next hated trend. It’s completely hollow to be filled with ink. One day you’ll be channeling The Great Gatsby with dark, thick, black frames, the next you’ll have bright red to show those hipsters how it’s really done. DO WANT!

Can We Save the Italian Market?
Back in the day, when the Italian market first started in 1915 based on targeted anti-immigrant attitude and long speeches about lousy sanitation. It was built on cheap, a trading ground around the Depression era. A place where merchants and customers were able to interact on a personal level and purchase cheap goods.Now-a-days, the question is... is it too Mexican or too commercialized with your tourists and suburban-goers? What do we do about parking and traffic? How do we keep the butcher shops opened? What can we do to maintain the Italian Market's ambiance? Most importantly, how do we save it? Especially with 10 percent of the stores completely empty between Christian and Washington Ave., the market's busiest section.
According to a recent article by Philly.com, Emilio Mignucci, co-owner of Di Bruno Brothers, envision a change:
Credit(s): Photograph provided by Philly.com"For these Mignucci has plans, too: First, he is closing Pronto itself after the holidays, but just for conversion to a wine and cheese cafe. Then he wants to find someone to bring in a craft-beer emporium like the 500-bottle Foodery that is such a hit in Northern Liberties.
And why not another space filled with a bustling trattoria presided over by a headliner, say, Marc Vetri, the rustic-Italian golden boy? (It's not such a stretch! His father grew up in the 'hood! Vetri's partner, Jeff Benjamin, says if they ever did a deal with anyone, it would be with the Mignucci family.)
And what about the fallow stalls, lined in Astroturf, or home to a ripped mattress, at this northerly end of the market? Mignucci sees a future for them, as well: Get some Lancaster County farmers in there; have curbside join farm market: What's old is new!
A few blocks south, the operating stalls are piled high with soul-food collard greens and second-quality lemons, with croakers and porgies and whiting, immigrant Mexican vendors selling to African American shoppers.
No $19-a-pound Spanish cheeses down here, none of Fante's hammered-copper pots, or Sonny D'Angelo's exquisite game sausage: Here price trumps local, bargain beats organic.
Farther south, across Washington Avenue where the old icehouse once stood, Mignucci (who runs the Di Bruno properties with two other Mignuccis, his brother Billy and cousin Billy) sees something else, in his mind's eye, at least: a row of new retail, with condos above, rising from the demolition site.
Midwood Management, the New York developer, bought the property: "They must know something," Mignucci says.
So that's his wish list - a cleaned-up market, more parking, farm-fresh produce, lights on not just until 7 but until 10 at night, coffee shops open, cafes jumping, his own Pronto reimagined, looking out that three-story mug of Frank Rizzo.
Maybe then the hip, young crowd that lines up outside Sabrina's Cafe will spend a few bucks after brunch."

Celebrity Sighting: Audrina in Atlantic City
Audrina Patridge of the MTV show, "The Hills" will be at Harrah's in Atlantic City, NJ on Saturday.Man, I love that dumb girls with fake boobies can be so popular. Honestly, who would drive for an hour to hang with her? Have you seen her awkwardness on the show? It still amazes to think that these dumb bitches are getting paid for playing along with an absolutely made-up wannabe reality show. And yeah, it's fake... fo' real. UK made MTV to put up a disclaimer that the storyline is fictional. As for us Americans, we're suckers.

Check him out at Union Hall in Brooklyn, NY on November 20th.
