Marché aux Fleurs Reine Elizabeth II.

On D-Day, June 6, 1942, King George VI was England's king and his eldest daughter, Princess Elizabeth, had just turned 18 in April. During D-Day celebrations in Paris last week, Queen Elizabeth, now 88, visited the 206-year-old Flower Market on Ile de la Cité, the island in the Seine recognized as the historical center of Paris. From the Paris blog Peter's Paris, by Peter Olson.

Show of hands. How many of you in the last year have been menaced by an iPhone?

I'll be brief. More than a year ago I switched from Blackberry to iPhone--and for months I've been a robo-spazz. Late one night in April, I was in my bedroom trying to change the main mail app on the iPhone from Outlook to Gmail and started up my vintage 1987 Saab Turbo 900 parked in the garage. True story, mainly. Am I alone in this? Is your iPhone messing with you, too?
