A New Gorgeous Redesign Concept For Apple’s iPhone Software
Apple is racing to finish updates to iOS 7, its latest version of the software that powers iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches. This year’s iOS is widely reported to be getting a the first major redesign in the history of the software. The new look is said to be lacking in the glitz and the gloss that’s been prevalent throughout iOS’s life. Instead, we’re supposed to get a cleaner, simpler design. Simply Zesty decided to whip up its own take on what Apple could do with a total redesign of iOS. We like the way it looks, but we doubt Apple would make this big a change. It would be far too jarring for the hundreds of millions of people that use iOS to see such an overhaul.

In China’s booming cities, prospective husbands are now routinely vetted about whether they own a house, and preferably also a car, before a match can be agreed. Tying the knot without a house as part of the deal is jokingly called a “naked marriage” and widely thought to be a risky choice. “I would choose a luxury house over a boyfriend that always makes me happy without hesitation,” said one 24-year-old contestant on If You Are the One, one of China’s most popular television dating shows. “And my boyfriend has to have a monthly salary of 200,000 yuan (£18,900),” she demanded. In a bid to temper the rising expectations of Chinese women, China’s Supreme Court has now…

Hilarious Prank Terrifies Women at Beauty Salon [VIDEO]
Women are used to seeing scary sights in the mirror during a trip to the hairdressers. But instead of a frightful new hairdo customers were confronted with the face of a ghost during terrifying but hilarious stunt. The elaborate practical joke had unsuspecting patrons shrieking in terror, with shop staff pretending not to notice the pale and bloodied face of a young girl appearing before them. The same youngster – who looks as if she has been possessed by an evil demon – then crawls into the shop, upside down on all fours, with her back arched at a painful angle sending everyone fleeing in fear

Facebook Announces ‘Home’ Screen for Android Devices, Arrives April 12th
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg today introduced a new home screen experience for Android devices. The company is trying to flip the user experience on phones so users will navigate their phone “through people, not apps”. During the question-and-answer session after the event, Zuckerberg said bringing Home to iOS would not be as easy as with Android and would have to happen via the company’s existing partnership with Apple. Because Android is ‘open’, Facebook isn’t required to work with Google on the project. Instead of seeing an app icon or name, Facebook has designed all interactions to focus on individual people rather than keeping emails and text messages from the same friends separate. Facebook claims users turn on…

Is Having A Child A Rational Decision?
Debates about whether it’s rational to have children are nothing new. Recent books like David Benatar’s Better to Have Never Been: The Harm of Coming Into Existence, Bryan Caplan’s Selfish Reasons to Have More Kids, Christine Overall’s Why Have Children: The Ethical Debate, and Jessica Valenti’s Why Have Kids? span the full range of views, from passionate pleas against procreation to more light-hearted defenses. Last year at the Huffington Post, Lisa Belkin suggested that most academic discussions of parenthood fail to address why so many people actually have kids. Most people don’t decide to start a family after logical and ethical debate; they’re moved (says Belkin): To create a family. To craft a whole greater than yourself, of which you will…
Wife of Millionaire Wins “Unprecedented” Case to Overturn Prenup Agreement
A Long Island mother of three has become a postnuptial hero, after a prenup nearly cost her everything. In a landmark case, Elizabeth Cioffi-Petrakis, 39, won an appeal overturning a bizarre premarital agreement with her millionaire husband. Now she says she may be entitled to half of her ex’s worth when their divorce becomes final. The win, say matrimonial law experts, is huge. “This is unprecedented in the family law world,” celebrity divorce lawyer Vikki Ziegler told Yahoo! Shine. “This is a landmark decision that will likely be litigated a great deal in the future in similar cases for those who feel their prenups are unconscionable.” So how did it happen? “I won it because I pretty much did it…
BREAKING NEWS: Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez dead: Vice President Maduro Confirms
