We wanted to see what would happen if New Yorkers were given the opportunity to amplify their voices to “say something nice.” This project was produced by Improv Everywhere as part of the Guggenheim Museum exhibition stillspotting nyc.

Creepy Steve Jobs Doll Nixed by Apple Lawyers
| January 10, 2012
You just knew a boatload of bootleg Steve Jobs merch would start flooding in after his passing last year. Like street vendors outside of the World Series, online retailers started producing T-shirts, books and other various and sundry items.

The British newspaper’s Rome correspondent says newly released court documents show that the man, identified only as Antonio C., found the musty letters while clearing out an old chest of drawers a few days before Christmas.
His wife, Rosa C., reportedly confessed to the affair when confronted, but couldn’t talk her husband out of filing for divorce.
