Taken straight from the app store:

Pick'n Daisies is destined to become a classic!
Now is your chance to play the best retro arcade action on the iPhone.

Quickly pick flowers and drag them to your basket. Tapping friendly neighborhood bugs will give you extra points, but watch out for the bees. They sting!

Introducing the 401-Keg Plan


 
If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Delta Airlines one year ago, you would have $49.00 today.

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in AIG one year ago, you would have $33.00 today.

If you had purchased $1,000 of shares in Lehman Brothers one year ago, you would have $0.00 today.

But, if you had purchased $1,000 worth of beer one year ago, drank all the beer, then turned in the aluminum cans for recycling refund, you will have received a $214.00.

Many large and prominent sites such as GMail, Facebook, Yahoo Mail and others are exposed to this vulnerability simply because they haven't secured their cookies. The presenter dubbed the exploit, HTTPS Cookie Highjacking and loosely described it as,

"It turns out an adversary able to position themselves in between you and a website is able to inject arbitrary http-based content elements for domains that do not set the 'Encrypted Sessions Only' property of their cookies, and thus cause your client to transmit these cookies via clear text, intercept them, and impersonate you."
