• Previously, if you launched the Notes App and you had no notes saved, the app would automatically open a new note and the keyboard would pop up. It no longer does that. If you have no saved note, it just says No Notes. (found by cypriote)
• In Maps, directions are smoother. The next direction slides in nicely and has the distance to the next action PLUS that action on the same screen, as shown below. Previously it would've said on action 6 "Drive 63.3 Miles"...action 7, "Continue on I-91 N...." (found by Marvin1379)

• in Stocks if you "swipe" the mini-graph left, then a more detailed stock quote will show up with Open/High/Low/Volume/PE/Mkt Cap/52w High/52w Low/Avg Volume/Yield...and if you swipe another time to the left then news for that stock comes up and the news is scrollable in the vertical direction. (found by iPhone Chicago)

Genau das, was ich im Moment brauche nach dem ganzen Politik-Mist, weil, man muss ja auch mal wieder über Unsinn schreiben. Hier also nun Kaugummis, die wie Hackfleischbällchen aussehen… und hoffentlich nicht so schmecken. (Obwohl… hmm…)
These meatball-shaped, bubble gum flavored gumballs are super tasty and extra chewy. If you don’t believe us, just look on the back of each package where Manny the Meatball proclaims, “Atsa chewy meatball.” How can you doubt the emphatic assertion of a talking meatball?

Was sehen meine müden Augen denn dort? Bei Lidl sind derzeit klassische LCD-Spiele von Simba zu haben. Doch dieses Design kommt mir unheimlich bekannt vor. Wo hab ich das denn schonmal gesehen? Ah, vielleicht…
…liegt es daran, dass diese Spiele aussehen wie iPhones? Mich würde ja nicht wundern, wenn sie auf einer chinesischen Webseite angeboten werden, aber bei Lidl? Gibt es in Deutschland nicht sowas wie ein Copyright? Es gibt übrigens vier verschiedene Versionen: Super Racing, World Soccer, Space Attack und Treasure Defender.
Vielen Dank an unseren Leser Max für den Hinweis (Das untere Bild ist übrigens von ihm). Falls auch ihr auf ähnliche Kuriositäten stoßt, scheut nicht davor zurück mir eine Mail zu schicken - die Adresse findet sich in der rechten Spalte. [Maxim Roubintchik]

You’d usually find the best vending machines in Japan… until now! There are plans to introduce vending machines in Germany that sell gold. That’s right: 100 percent pure gold.
There’s already a prototype machine at the Frankfurt airport. Prices are updated every few minutes, and there’s a 30 percent markup over the regular market price.
How much? You can buy 1g for €30, and 10g for €245.
As you might imagine, you can blame the economic crisis for all of this. As those commercials on TV say, there’s nothing quite like owning gold.
