And so it comes as no surprise that a man of far greater sophistication is behind the site's latest feature: Don Draper. (via Mashable) While we never tire of news even remotely tied to “Mad Men,” it appears readers of Parade magazine are tired of another TV phenomenon—Kim Kardashians. The magazine’s readers voted the “star” the most annoying celebrity of 2011, but I’m sure she’ll dry her eyes with the $17.9 million she made just for tying the knot this summer. Mere chump-change when compared to the $6.9 billion Americans plan to spend on Halloween this year—an average of $72.31 per trick-or-treater. The trick for restaurants to rake in that kind of dough may be deciding to add alcohol to its beverage options, but many chains say that profit comes at a cost that might not be worth it. You know, like when company spokesmen have to deal with it being served to toddlers, accidentally. All the money in the world wasn’t enough for Apple to trademark the “multitouch” technology it introduced to the world. According to Gizmodo, the U.S. Patent, Trademark Office introduced Apple to being iDenied. And the bad news for Apple just keeps coming. Nielsen data shows the Android devices are outselling the iPhone 2 to 1. We’ll stop picking on Apple for now, instead shift our focus to Google. Despite reaching 50 million users on Google+, the company has had its share of PR blunders. Here, PCMag.com highlights them for us. Had this really been a testimonial for eHarmony, it may have been a PR blunder for the dating website. Fortunately for them, it’s fake. Fortunately for us, it’s funny. (NSFW) Even funnier: historical status updates from Facebook. All this laughter has helped us work up an appetite. Or maybe it’s this bacon font I’ve been using all day.{/%BODYCOPY%} {%ID%}9646{/%ID%} {%DATAID%}6ce62b4c-fd1d-4d3d-b6b5-8bcaa633158f{/%DATAID%} {%CanonicalUrl%}{/%CanonicalUrl%} {%PUBLISHDATE%}9/29/2011 1:15:15 PM{/%PUBLISHDATE%} {%LINK%}https://dev.prdaily.com/Main/Articles/9646.aspx{/%LINK%} {%BYLINE%}
