Meghan Markle Launching New Lifestyle Brand ... Wants to Sell Tons of Stuff
Meghan Markle's kicking off her new lifestyle brand, and it looks like she's got a few ideas about what she wants to do with it ... including potentially selling a variety of products.
The Duchess of Sussex's company applied to lock up the rights to something called American Riviera Orchard in early February -- which she officially announced Thursday online -- submitting trademark applications in a bunch of different categories.
Among the items she might end up selling under the new venture -- assuming the trademarks get approved, that is -- are cookbooks, tableware, coffee and tea services, jellies, jams, tablecloths, cookbooks, servingware, cutlery, spreads of all kinds ... and lots more.
It seems she's expecting things to move smoothly in that direction ... 'cause, like we said, she just launched both the ARO website and an Instagram page dedicated to the new venture.
So far, the IG page only shows the company's logo ... but a short clip on the page's story shows Markle baking while Nancy Wilson's "I Wish You Love" plays over it. The page already has 199k followers BTW -- safe to say, people are very excited for whatever Markle's got cookin'.
While it's unclear exactly what MM plans to do with the new site, tons of fans online are speculating it'll be an updated version of The Tig -- Markle's lifestyle blog from before she married Prince Harry.
The Tig also featured recipes, personal essays and advice from Markle, all of which could factor into American Riviera Orchard's offerings. We'll just have to wait and see, we suppose -- Meg hasn't announced when she's gonna pull back the curtain, but there's a waitlist open.
After the royal couple's somewhat turbulent 2023 -- including a Spotify deal that fell through and a rumored Dior partnership that never came to fruition -- this seems like Meg going back to basics, and to her lifestyle roots.
Time will tell if this Orchard bears fruit.

Kate Middleton Instagram advierte a los usuarios que su foto es falsa AFP no confía más en ellos
La saga de Kate Middleton continúa. Debido a que el Palacio de Kensington decidió mantener su foto editada en Instagram, la plataforma le está advirtiendo a la gente que se trata de una imagen fraudulenta.
Instagram le da dado una cachetada oficial a su foto del Día de la Madre, la que se supo que estaba súper editada, con una bandera que le permite a los usuarios saber explícitamente que la imagen no es auténtica y que deberían tener cuidado con ella.
Su post de Instagram ahora dice: "Foto/video alterado. La misma foto alterada fue revisada por verificadores de hechos independientes en otro post".
Una descripción adicional de la alerta dice que el verificador de hechos encontró que la foto había sido editada de una manera que podría inducir a la gente a error, pero no porque se mostrara fuera de contexto. En otras palabras, ¡esto se cocinó en un laboratorio!
El verificador de hechos en que se basa IG (Meta) para sacar estas conclusiones es una empresa llamada EFE Verifica, una organización española que se especializa en este tipo de cosas.
Por cierto, Instagram no es la única empresa que se está distanciando de la foto de Kate. La agencia de noticias francesa AFP (un actor muy respetado) salió públicamente a decir esta semana que no consideran que el Palacio de Kensington sea una fuente confiable.
El director global de AFP dijo que iban a examinar seriamente cualquier cosa que les envíe Kensington en el futuro y también enviaron un aviso a sus equipos a nivel mundial.
Es un gran golpe a la reputación del Palacio de Kensington, sin duda, y el hecho de que aún tengan esta imagen manipulada es sorprendente, especialmente con todas las reacciones, teorías conspirativas y especulaciones sobre el paradero y estado de Kate.
El Palacio aún no ha respondido a las preguntas sobre esto, a pesar de que todo el mundo se les ha acercado para que hagan más comentarios. Pero por supuesto, este enfoque de meter la cabeza en la arena parece estar encabezado por el propio príncipe William, quien sigue con sus deberes reales como si nada hubiese pasado.
De hecho, Bill estuvo junto a Youth Zone el jueves, una organización que ayuda a los niños más desfavorecidos, con los que fue visto haciendo galletas. También aludió a Kate diciendo que su esposa era la "artística" de la familia en alusión a las decoraciones.
William ha estado haciendo un montón de cosas toda la semana, y aún no ha abordado lo que pasa con Kate. Francamente, no está claro si alguien le ha preguntado.
Si su actitud es una indicación de algo, parece que el equipo del Palacio de Kensington está siguiendo su ejemplo, pero Kate-Gate no va a desaparecer.
La pregunta sigue siendo, ¿dónde está la Princesa de Gales?

KATE MIDDLETON INSTAGRAM WARNS USERS OF FAKE SNAP AFP Says No Longer Trusted
The Kate Middleton saga continues -- in light of Kensington Palace choosing to keep their fake photo of her up on Instagram ... the platform is now warning people, this is fraudulent.
IG has officially slapped the Mother's Day picture seen 'round-the-world -- which has since been revealed to be heavily edited -- with a flag that explicitly lets people know the picture ain't authentic ... and that users would be wise to be cautious with it.
The disclaimer on her post now reads, "Altered photo/video. The same altered photo was reviewed by independent fact-checkers in another post."
A further description of their decision to label her picture with this explains that the fact-checker found the photo had been edited in a way that could mislead people, but not because it was shown out of context. Translation ... this thing was cooked up in the lab!
The third-party fact-checker that IG (Meta) is relying on for this conclusion is a company called EFE Verifica -- which is a Spanish org that specializes in this sorta thing.
BTW, Instagram is not the only company that's distancing itself from Kate's pic -- French news agency AFP (a well-respected player) came out publicly this week to say that they do not consider Kensington Palace a trusted source.
AFP's global news director said they were going to heavily vet anything that Kensington sends their way going forward ... and a notice has been sent to their teams globally.
It's a big hit to the reputation of Kensington Palace, no doubt -- and the fact that they still have this doctored image up is astounding ... especially with all the backlash, conspiracy theories and speculation that has followed on Kate's whereabouts and condition.
Of course, this head-in-the-sand approach -- remember, the Palace has yet to address more questions about this, despite everyone having reached out for further comment -- seems to be spearheaded by Prince William himself, who's continuing on like nothing's happened.
In fact, Bill was on hand Thursday for more Royal duties with the OnSide Youth Zone -- who help disadvantaged kids -- and here, he was seen making cookies with youngsters ... and he actually alluded to Kate, saying his wife was the "arty" one as he botched icing decorations.
He's been doing a bunch of work-related stuff all week, and has yet to address head-on what's up with Kate ... frankly, it's unclear if anyone's even asked him.
If his attitude here -- namely, to ignore and power on -- is any indication ... it seems the rest of the Kensington Palace team is following his lead, but Kate-Gate ain't going away.
The question remains ... where is the Princess of Wales???

SpaceX Lanza enorme cohete al espacio... La tercera es la vencida

Elon Musk todavía puede tener problemas con su empresa de redes sociales, pero en el frente espacial sí que está despegando, pues su compañía acaba de lanzar con éxito el cohete más grande que se ha visto.
SpaceX lanzó su cohete Super Heavy-Starship en órbita el jueves por la mañana, el que tuvo lugar en sus instalaciones de Boca Chica, en Texas, y este último intento marca la tercera vez que el magnate intenta poner esta bestia en el más allá.
Teniendo en cuenta que lo lograron, es realmente una hazaña impresionante, sobre todo por la magnitud del cohete, que es, literalmente, el más grande de la historia.
El cohete, en su totalidad, mide 394 pies y tiene casi 30 pies de ancho. También incluye dos componentes diferentes, la etapa superior Starship y el propulsor Super Heavy. Se dice que esta cosa puede generar más de 16 millones de libras de empuje con sus motores Raptor.
En otras palabras, es un monstruo, y el jueves, Elon y compañía lograron finalmente ponerlo en el espacio y superar nuestra atmósfera, donde inició un vuelo suborbital que está diseñado para atravesar el Golfo de México, el Atlántico y gran parte del Océano Índico.

Se supone que el cohete se desprenderá y que el booster caerá en el GOM y la etapa superior tocará tierra en el Océano Índico. Sí, se puede hacer con aterrizajes controlados.
Con el tiempo, SpaceX (y la NASA) esperan utilizar el Super Heavy-Starship para hacer viajes a la Luna, algo que no se ha hecho desde hace mucho tiempo, pero que quieren volver a poner en marcha. Ahora que este vuelo de prueba salió sin problemas (por el momento), está al alcance de la mano.
Puede que a la gente no le guste el tipo, pero esto es grande para Elon. ¡Felicitaciones!
SpaceX Launches Massive Starship Rocket ... Third Time's a Charm!!!

Elon Musk might still be having trouble with his social media venture, but on the space front he's crushing ... 'cause his company just successfully launched the largest rocket ever.
SpaceX blasted their Super Heavy-Starship rocket into orbit Thursday morning -- with liftoff taking place at their Boca Chica, TX facility ... and with this latest attempt marking their third time trying to get this massive beast out into the great beyond.
Considering they pulled it off, it's truly an impressive feat -- especially when you get a sense of the magnitude of this rocket ... which is quite literally the biggest one in human history.
The rocket, in full, stands at a whopping 394 feet and is nearly 30 feet wide -- it also includes two different components, the upper stage Starship and the Super Heavy booster. Word is, this thing can generate over 16 million pounds of thrust with its Raptor engines.
In other words, it's a monster of a machine ... and on Thursday, Elon and co. were finally able to get it up in the air and past our atmosphere, where it started a sub-orbital flight that's designed to traverse the Gulf of Mexico, the Atlantic and much of the Indian Ocean.
Starship’s flight trajectory for today's test pic.twitter.com/1YJbO1tRxz
— SpaceX (@SpaceX) March 14, 2024 @SpaceX
The rocket is supposed to detach, with the booster dropping into the GOM -- and the upper stage touching down in the Indian Ocean ... yes, both can be done with controlled landings.
Eventually, SpaceX (and NASA) is hoping to use the Super Heavy-Starship to make trips to the moon ... something that hasn't been done for a long time, but which they wanna start back up again. Now that this test flight went off without a hitch (so far), it's within reach.
People may not like the guy, but this is a huge W for Elon. Congrats!

Missing College Student Booted from Luke Bryan Bar Surfaces on Surveillance Video
A college student who's been missing since Friday -- this after getting asked to leave Luke Bryan's Nashville bar -- wandered the streets aimlessly ... now seen on surveillance video.
22-year-old Riley Strain was in town last weekend, visiting with friends from the University of Missouri for a convention in Nashville -- and they went out drinking Friday night ... hitting up Luke's famous 32 Bridge bar, where cops say he got kicked out after being overserved.
Strain reportedly told his friends he'd just walk the 5 blocks back to their hotel and meet them there afterward ... but his buddies say he never turned up, having totally vanished.
Now, the police are on the case ... and they're asking the public to help locate Riley since he still hasn't turned all these days later. Nashville PD also posted some surveillance video that was captured that night, which they say shows Riley stumbling around all by himself.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
The guy's said to be well over 6 feet, so he's hard to miss -- and in these videos, you see him cruising the streets almost without much direction or purpose. In one video, you see him cross the street alongside a group of people ... and he comes across as out of control.
In another video, you can see him running, and even falls briefly. On its face, it appears he's under the influence -- which his why him going missing like this is all the more horrifying.
As for Luke himself ... he's addressed this story, taking to social media to write, "Y'all This Is Scary. Praying For His Safe Return." LB also noted his bar was cooperating with the authorities in their investigation, while also sending their thoughts and prayers to his fam.
The story has started to get national attention, and billboards in the area have already gone up advertising his disappearance. His parents have said they're incredibly worried about his well-being, calling this whole ordeal an utter nightmare. There's no question, it 100% is.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Anyone with info on Riley's whereabouts can call cops at 615-742-7463.

DON LEMON EMITE CLIPS DE LA ENTREVISTA CON ELON EN CNN ... Conversación muy tensa
Don Lemon volvió a la cadena que lo despidió para hablar de su entrevista con Elon Musk que le hizo perder su acuerdo con X e incluso emitió algunos clips de la conversación.
El ex presentador de noticias fue presentado como invitado de Erin Burnett en CNN el miércoles, donde hablaron sobre la entrevista que hicieron con Elon y que luego provocó que este terminara el acuerdo de su compañía con Don para presentar y distribuir su nuevo programa con ellos.
First guest. @elonmusk like you’ve never seen him before.

You won’t want to miss this. #TheDonLemonShow pic.twitter.com/hEBGBAoqdp
Obviamente, todos tienen curiosidad de qué fue lo que cabreó tanto a Elon exactamente y ahora, tenemos una idea de lo que podría haber sido porque CNN emitió 3 extractos.
El primer clip muestra a Don compartiendo estadísticas sobre el aumento del discurso de odio en X e incluso abordó el tema de la Gran Teoría de Reemplazo, que abrazan los supremacistas blancos y de la que Elon ha sido acusado por tolerar en su plataforma.
Se puede decir de inmediato que Elon estaba molesto por el interrogatorio e incluso dejó a Don saber que no tiene que responderle a nadie, señalando que solo accedió a conversar con él porque era parte de la familia X, y Don pidió una entrevista.
Fue una interacción bien fría, y sobre ella, Don le dijo a Erin que no cree que Elon esté dispuesto a aceptar los hechos y que siente que no tiene que responderle a nadie o asumir la responsabilidad por lo que se publica en X. Los clips no terminaron allí, sin embargo ..
En otro clip Don le pregunta a Elon sobre su consumo de ketamina, algo que Elon ha admitido y aunque este tema no era tan incómodo, se puede decir que era algo personal para. Básicamente, dijo que si la gente está deprimida, deberían investigarlo.
También hablaron de política y Elon dijo que no estaba listo para apoyar a ningún candidato, aunque dijo que se inclinaba por Biden. Señaló que él y Trump habían hablado recientemente en Mar-a-Lago y dijo que no le había donado a Donald Trump en absoluto.
Cuento corto, Don volvió a la boca del lobo para transmitir estos clips y es bastante irónico, teniendo en cuenta que le dieron una patada para priorizar un liderazgo diferente.
En cualquier caso, Don vuelve a estar sin casa mediática y va a publicar su contenido directamente en todas las redes sociales. Su entrevista con Elon se emitirá íntegra el lunes.
Don Lemon Airs Clips of Elon Interview on CNN ... Very Tense Conversation
Don Lemon went back to the network that fired him to talk about his Elon Musk interview that made him lose out on his deal with X ... and he even aired some clips from their chat.
The former news anchor was featured as Erin Burnett's guest on CNN Wednesday, where they spoke about this sit-down Don did with Elon just yesterday -- which then triggered Elon to terminate his company's deal with Don to host and distribute his new show with them.

Obviously, everyone has been curious about what exactly was said that pissed EM off so much -- and now, we have a sense of what it might've been ... 'cause CNN aired 3 excerpts.
The first clip they played showed Don rattling off stats about an uptick in hate speech on X -- and DL even entertained the topic of the Great Replacement Theory, embraced by white supremacists ... which Elon's been accused of entertaining and tolerating on his platform.
You could tell right off the bat that Elon was annoyed by the line of questioning -- and he even let Don know, he doesn't have to answer anyone's questions ... noting he only agreed to chat with Don because he was now part of the X family, and Don asked for an interview.
It was an icy interaction ... and Don goes on to tell Erin he doesn't think Elon is willing to accept facts -- going on to say he feels like Elon doesn't have to answer to anyone or take accountability for what's posted on X. The clips didn't end there, though ... there was more.
Another clip aired where Don asked Elon about his ketamine use -- something Elon has admitted to -- and while that topic wasn't nearly as awkward ... you can tell it was somewhat personal for Elon. He basically said if people are depressed, they should look into it.
They also talked politics at one point ... and Elon said he wasn't ready to endorse any candidate just yet -- although he did say he was leaning away from Biden. He noted he and Trump had recently spoken at Mar-a-Lago ... and said he hadn't donated to DT at all.
Long story short ... Don went back into the lion's den to air these clips -- which is pretty ironic, considering they kicked him to the curb, albeit under different leadership.
In any case, Don's without a media home again ... and he's gonna post his content straight to all social media platforms regardless. His Elon interview airs in full Monday.

DON LEMON SU ALIANZA CON X LLEGA A SU FIN Dicen que Elon está cabreado

Don Lemon ha cancelado su acuerdo con X antes de que se emitiera el primer episodio, y culpa a su entrevista con Elon Musk, en la que aparentemente tocó un punto delicado.
El ex presentador de CNN anunció el miércoles en redes sociales el fin de su acuerdo exclusivo con la plataforma de Elon Musk, tanto a través de una declaración escrita como en un breve video que irónicamente publicó en X.

Don explica que se sentó con Elon el viernes para entrevistarlo en el primer episodio de "The Don Lemon Show", diciendo que quería tener a Musk como su primer invitado, porque Elon se considera un gran defensor de la libertad de expresión.
Don dijo que la entrevista no tenía temas fuera de límite, y aunque Don admite que la conversación se puso tensa a ratos, en última instancia dice que las cosas salieron bien.
Sin embargo, parece que Musk no se sentía de la misma manera, y afirma que su acuerdo con X -acordado hace apenas dos meses- se terminó apenas unas horas después de su entrevista.
Lemon le dijo a sus fans que trabajó con X porque es un creyente en la libertad de expresión y quería que su mensaje llegara a un público masivo, y ser "despedido" de X no impide que el ex presentador de CNN lo transmita en la plataforma y en otros lugares.
Lemon dice que todavía piensa publicar la entrevista el lunes 18 de marzo en YouTube y X, lo que podría tomarse como una afrenta hacia Elon. También va a seguir con el programa sin el respaldo de X, así que "The Don Lemon Show" sigue en pie.
SCOOP: As I told him would happen, @donlemon, the owner of this platform Elon Musk sent a terse text to his reps: “Contract terminated” after an interview Lemon did with Musk last Friday that was not to the adult toddler’s liking, including questions about his ketamine use.
— Kara Swisher (@karaswisher) March 13, 2024 @karaswisher
En cuanto a lo que exactamente discutieron, no sabemos mucho, pero los informes sugieren que Don hizo algunas preguntas contundentes, incluyendo preguntas sobre el uso de Musk de la ketamina.
Aparentemente, Lemon todavía piensa que X le debe dinero, con un portavoz de Don diciéndole al sitio de noticias Puck, que está dispuesto a ir a los tribunales por el dinero que cree que le deben.
X is a platform that champions free speech, and we’re proud to provide an open environment for diverse voices and perspectives. The Don Lemon Show is welcome to publish its content on X, without censorship, as we believe in providing a platform for creators to scale their work…

Por su parte, X dice que su plataforma apoya la libertad de expresión, y Don puede publicar libremente lo que quiera, pero X, por otra parte, sigue siendo un negocio y puede optar por iniciar o terminar asociaciones con empresas como mejor le parezca.
Any specific reasons ?
— Mark Zuckerberg - Parody (@MarkZuckss) March 13, 2024 @MarkZuckss
En cuanto a Elon... le respondió a una cuenta de parodia de Mark Zuckerberg en X y afirmó que Don todavía estaba haciendo sus trucos de CNN en X y dijo que sentía que solo estaba repitiendo los mismos pasos que su antiguo jefe en la red, Jeff Zucker. Elon también dice que sentía Don no estaba siendo auténtico... y parecer esto fue suficiente para desechar el acuerdo.
Parece que hay mala sangre en ambos frentes, y estamos seguros de que esto no ha terminado todavía.

Don Lemon X Partnership Falls Apart ... Reportedly Pissed Off Elon

Don Lemon's X partnership is dunzo -- his deal falling apart before the first episode could even air ... and he blames his Elon Musk interview, where he apparently struck a nerve.
The former CNN anchor took to social media Wednesday to announce the end of his exclusive deal with Elon's platform -- both via written statement and in a short video he posted to X, ironically enough.
First guest. @elonmusk like you’ve never seen him before.

The way Don explains it ... he sat down with Elon Friday to interview him for the first episode of "The Don Lemon Show," saying he wanted to speak with Musk as his debut guest because Elon considers himself a major proponent of free speech.
Don said the interview had no off-limit topics, and -- even though DL admits the convo got tense at times ... ultimately, he says he felt it was a good, fair back-and-forth.
However, it sounds like Musk didn't feel the same way according to Lemon ... who claims his deal with X -- agreed upon just two months ago -- was terminated mere hours after their interview wrapped.
Lemon told his fans he worked with X because he's a believer in free speech and wanted his message to reach a mass audience ... and, getting "fired" from X ain't stopping the former CNN anchor from airing it on the platform and elsewhere.
Lemon says he's still dropping the interview in all its glory Monday, March 18 on YouTube and X as well -- seemingly a big middle finger to EM and co. He's also gonna carry on with the show without X's backing ... so, the "The Don Lemon Show" is still on.
SCOOP: As I told him would happen, @donlemon, the owner of this platform Elon Musk sent a terse text to his reps: “Contract terminated” after an interview Lemon did with Musk last Friday that was not to the adult toddler’s liking, including questions about his ketamine use.
— Kara Swisher (@karaswisher) March 13, 2024 @karaswisher
As for exactly what the two discussed ... we don't know much, but reports are floating around Don asked some hard-hitting questions -- including queries about Musk's use of ketamine.
BTW ... Lemon apparently still thinks X owes him money -- with a spokesperson for Don telling news site Puck he's willing to go to court for the cash he believes is owed ... to be continued, we suppose.
X is a platform that champions free speech, and we’re proud to provide an open environment for diverse voices and perspectives. The Don Lemon Show is welcome to publish its content on X, without censorship, as we believe in providing a platform for creators to scale their work…

For their part, X is saying their platform is all about free speech, and Don can freely post whatever he wants ... but also X is still a business and can choose to begin or end partnerships with businesses as it sees fit.
His approach was basically just “CNN, but on social media”, which doesn’t work, as evidenced by the fact that CNN is dying.
— Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 13, 2024 @elonmusk
And, instead of it being the real Don Lemon, it was really just Jeff Zucker talking through Don, so lacked authenticity.
All this said, Lemon/Zucker are…
As for Elon ... he responded to a Mark Zuckerberg parody account on X -- and claimed Don was still doing his CNN shtick, just on X -- and he said he felt Don was just parroting his old boss at the network, Jeff Zucker. EM also says he felt Don was putting on an act and not being his authentic self ... which was apparently enough for him to scrap their deal.
Seems like lots of bad blood on both sides ... and we're sure it's not over yet.

Cohete espacial de Japón Explota momentos después del lanzamiento...
Un cohete espacial de Japón explotó después de despegar el martes, convirtiendo el cielo en una bola de humo y escombros, ¡y todo mientras se transmitía en vivo!
La nave espacial Space One Kairos, de 59 pies, despegó el miércoles desde una plataforma en la península de Kii, al oeste de Japón, pero explotó instantes después de su lanzamiento.
Los medios de comunicación locales estaban transmitiendo el acto inaugural de Space One en directo, una start-up que busca convertirse en la primera empresa privada del país en poner un satélite en órbita.
Echa un vistazo al video, el cohete de combustible sólido de 23 toneladas despegó de la plataforma, dejando una enorme nube de humo blanco a su paso mientras subía hacia el cielo. De repente, la nave detonó intencionadamente, transformándose en restos ardientes que caían sobre el suelo.
El presidente de Space One dijo que "el cohete puso fin al vuelo tras juzgar que el logro de su misión sería difícil".
Space One ahora está investigando los datos del vuelo para determinar qué fue lo que falló. Aún no está claro si alguien murió o resultó herido, pero de momento no se ha informado de ningún lesionado.
Normalmente, no hay personas en las plataformas durante un lanzamiento, pero la compañía ha dicho que este requiere unos 12 miembros del personal en el centro de control de tierra.
Los mantendremos informados en cuanto tengamos noticias.
Japanese Space Rocket Blows Up Moments After Launch ...
A Japanese space rocket blew up after takeoff Tuesday, turning the sky into a fireball of smoke and debris on live stream TV.
The unmanned 59-foot Space One Kairos spacecraft lifted off from a platform in western Japan's Kii Peninsula on Wednesday, but it exploded moments after it launched.
Local media was live streaming the inaugural event by Space One, a start-up trying to become the country's first private company to put a satellite into orbit.
Check out the video ... the 23-ton solid-fueled rocket blasted off from the launchpad, leaving a massive cloud of white smoke in its wake as it hurtled upward. Suddenly, the craft intentionally detonated, transforming into fiery wreckage dropping to the ground.
The Space One president said, "The rocket terminated the flight after judging that the achievement of its mission would be difficult.”
Space One is now investigating the flight data to determine what went wrong, and there are no injuries reported on the ground from the falling wreckage.
Typically no people are on pads during a launch, and the company says the launch only requires about 12 staff members at the ground control center.

KATE MIDDLETON LAS ACCIONES DE ADOBE SE DISPARAN... Gracias a los polémicos retoques
Mientras Kate Middleton y la familia real se recuperan del escándalo de la foto del Día de la Madre, la empresa que les ayudó a conseguirlo está de fiesta, porque Photoshop está de moda en Wall Street.
A pesar de que la Princesa de Gales -o alguien en el palacio- no sabe muy bien como manejar el famoso Softweare, la empresa matriz de Photoshop, Adobe, vio un repunte en el precio de sus acciones después de la negociación del lunes, reafirmando el viejo dicho que asegura que "no existe la mala publicidad".
Aquí está el desglose: Adobe (ADBE), iba por los $551.69 el viernes, aumentó un poco el lunes por la mañana a $552.45, y al final del día, subió estrepitosamente a $560.42. ¡Los números no mienten!
The revelation that Kate Middleton has a subscription to Adobe’s Creative Cloud added $3B to the company’s market cap.

El experto en negocios, Trung Phan inmediatamente le atribuyó la capitalización bursátil de 3.000 millones de dólares de la compañía a la afirmación de que la princesa Kate había utilizado el producto de Adobe.
Por supuesto, no está claro si la polémica de Kate realmente está detrás de la fluctuación... pero la coincidencia es grande.
i like the idea that kate middleton got a royal discount on adobe creative cloud and started poking around in photoshop
— bald ann dowd (@ali_sivi) March 11, 2024 @ali_sivi
También parece que todo el mundo se divierte imaginando a Kate como una persona normal, haciendo clic en Photoshop como el resto de los mortales.
Una persona bromeó en X: "Me gusta la idea de que Kate Middleton consiguió un descuento real en la nube creativa de Adobe y comenzó a hurgar en Photoshop", y otro agregó: "El Palacio ahora va a actualizar a la suite completa de Adobe para arreglar la foto de Kate Middleton".
Sin embargo, mientras que un montón de teorías conspirativas están dando vueltas acerca de por qué la realeza adulteró la foto, la declaración oficial del Palacio de Kensington de Kate afirma que solo hizo un trabajo mediocre con Photoshop para mejorar su foto del Día de la Madre con sus tres hijos.
No hay explicaciones de por qué el Palacio mintió en primer lugar, o de cuándo se tomó la foto, ni hay noticias sobre lo que realmente está pasando con la recuperación de Kate a dos meses de la cirugía abdominal.
Es todo un drama para la realeza, pero al menos la gente de Adobe tiene algo que celebrar.

KATE MIDDLETON ADOBE STOCK SOARS AMID PIC FAIL ... Royal Photoshop Effect!!!
While Kate Middleton and the royal family dig out from the Mother's Day pic scandal, the company that helped them pull it off is popping bottles -- 'cause Photoshop's suddenly hot on Wall Street.
Despite the Princess of Wales -- or someone at the palace -- having sketchy photo editing skills, Photoshop's parent company, Adobe, saw a spike in its stock price after Monday's trading ... affirming the old adage of any publicity's good publicity.
Here's the breakdown ... Adobe (ADBE) went from $551.69 on Friday, did a little Monday morning stretch to $552.45, and by the end of the day, they were ridin' high at $560.42. The numbers don't lie!

Business writer Trung Phan immediately put the company's $3B market cap to Princess Kate's claim she'd used Adobe's product.
Of course, it's unclear if the Kate saga really is behind the fluctuation -- but the whole thing is a bit of a coincidence.

— bald ann dowd (@ali_sivi) March 11, 2024 @ali_sivi
It also seems like everyone's getting a kick out of imagining Kate as just another regular Joe, clicking away on Photoshop like the rest of us mere mortals.
One person joked on X, "I like the idea that kate middleton got a royal discount on adobe creative cloud and started poking around in Photoshop," ... and another added, "The Palace now upgrading to the full Adobe suite to fix the Kate Middleton pic."
Nonetheless, while a whole set of conspiracy theories are floating about why the royals doctored the pic ... KM's official Kensington Palace statement claims she just did a crappy job using Photoshop to improve her Mother's Day snap with her 3 kiddos.
Her apparent falling on the sword doesn't explain why the Palace lied, in the first place, about when the photo was taken -- nor does it shed any light on what's really going on with Kate's now 2-month-long recovery from abdominal surgery.
For now, it doesn't look like we're gonna get past the royal seal of secrecy ... but at least the folks at Adobe have something to celebrate.

TACO BELLS EN OAKLAND SOLO TENDRÁN "SERVICIO PARA LLEVAR" Preocupación por aumento de la delincuencia
El aumento de la delincuencia en Oakland ha dejado a Taco Bell en una situación precaria, ya que han tenido que elegir entre cerrar sus comedores o arriesgar la seguridad de sus empleados... y varios han optado por lo primero.
Al menos cuatro locales de Taco Bell en la ciudad de la Bahía han limitado sus servicios solo por razones seguridad.
La compañía afirmó que la seguridad es su máxima prioridad... Señalando que se han tomado medidas de protección adicionales en medio del aumento de la delincuencia en la ciudad.
Además de cerrar los comedores, el propietario de la franquicia local ha contratado guardias de seguridad y se ha reunido con las fuerzas del orden. Se ha informado de otro local que ha mantenido una política de solo pagar con tarjeta para no tener efectivo y así disuadir a los ladrones.
Esta actualización se produce después de que KPIX-TV informó de que un Taco Bell había sido robado cuatro veces en el transcurso de los últimos cuatro meses. El restaurante se quedó con ventanas cubiertas de madera contrachapada después de que los culpables condujeron una camioneta a través del edificio para robar una caja fuerte.
A Taco Bell le va un poco mejor que a In-N-Out. Recordemos que la cadena de hamburguesas populares tuvo que cerrar su única ubicación Oakland debido a la delincuencia en la zona.
Del mismo modo, un Denny's, que había operado en la zona durante 54 años, cerró en medio de crecientes preocupaciones de seguridad. Incluso Raising Cane's cerró un local cerca del aeropuerto el año pasado.
En cuanto a lo que se está haciendo para prevenir la creciente criminalidad, el gobernador del estado, Gavin Newsom, se informa que está tratando de tomar medidas enérgicas contra la delincuencia. Al parecer, envió más de un centenar de agentes de la patrulla de carreteras para ayudar a controlar la oleada de mal comportamiento en Oakland y en otros lugares.
No es una crítica elogiosa, ni mucho menos.
Taco Bells in Oakland Move to Drive-Thru Only ... Rising Crime Concerns
Rising crime in Oakland has left Taco Bell in a precarious situation -- close their indoor dining rooms, or risk their employees' security ... and several TBs chose the former.
At least four Taco Bell locations in the Bay Area city have moved to a drive-thru-only model in the name of safety.
The company assured customers that safety is their top priority ... noting that additional protection methods have been taken amid the city's rising crime.
In addition to closing dining rooms, the local franchise owner has hired security guards and met with law enforcement. It's reported that another location -- which has kept its dining room open -- has gone cashless to deter robbers.
This update comes after KPIX-TV reported that one Taco Bell had been robbed four times over the course of the last four months. The restaurant was left with plywood-covered windows after the culprits drove a pickup truck through the building to steal a safe.
Taco Bell is faring a bit better than In-N-Out. Remember, the popular burger chain is set to close its only Oakland location over crime in the area.
Similarly, a Denny's -- which had operated in the area for 54 years -- shut down amid rising safety concerns. Even Raising Cane's shuttered one location near the airport last year.
As for what's being done to prevent the growing criminality ... the state's governor, Gavin Newsom, is reportedly trying to crack down on crime. He apparently sent over a hundred highway patrol officers to help control the surge of bad behavior in Oakland and elsewhere.
Not a glowing review, by any stretch.
