“American Girl in Italy” was a very popular photo that captured 60 years ago. It features a beautiful young woman walking down the street of Florence surrounded by men watching her beauty and grace.
The picture was taken in 1951, which perfectly captures all the merriment while being abroad. Ninalee Craig who plays the subject of the photo, speaks about the picture during its 60th commemoration. She points out that the experience was not meant to embarrass her; but as Fisher Capital Management Korea sees it, more of a implying that this woman is truly enjoying her trip in Italy.
Craig insists that she knew what happened in the picture as she was 23 back then traveling alone through Europe. She stayed in a cheap hotel that made her meet Ruth Orkin, a photographer who was traveling alone too. Both of them reminisced the trip by capturing pictures that highlight the event.
Craig claims that they were walking down Florence for two hours while Orkin took pictures of markets and cafes. Orkin only made two shots of her walking through the streets, which turned out to be a smash hit celebrated these days.
However,Fisher Capital Management Korea joins the public’s skepticism if the picture was taken purposely. But Craig claims that those men who appeared in the picture were actually standing on the street. It was Orkin’s suggestion to come back and repeat her walk that resulted to the second picture.
Craig insisted in her interview that these men were never really mean harm. They gazed at her with utmost admiration as she walked playfully towards them.
Presently, Craig is residing in Toronto watching over her great grandchildren. Orkin, with a partner, pursued to write and direct the 1956 Oscar nominated film “Little Fugitive”. She died in 1985. Both women will mostly be remembered for that remarkable photo that has captured people’s imagination.

A recent study has found that Apple’s iOS is still untouched by malware, whereas users who choose Google’s Android platform are 76 percent more likely to encounter funky software, making it the most susceptible mobile operating system in the world.
McAfee’s Threat Report for the second quarter of 2011 outlined the issues facing mobile OS developers. It seems as though Apple’s strict stance on iOS apps and games has thus far thwarted any attempts at malware.
The only attacks on iPhones were only able to harm jailbroken phones. (Remember the Rick Astley exploit?) And only a small number of those.
Google, on the other hand, has a significantly less strict approach to getting apps and games on its Android platform. That has caused a significant number of malicious software titles to be downloaded via Google’s own Android Marketplace as well as separately by users.
With 44 cases of malware in the second quarter alone, Android is nearly four times as targeted as the second-place platform, Java ME, with 14 cases.
HP’s WebOS also contained no known cases of malware, joining iOS as the only other unblemished mobile platform, though the reach of WebOS is significantly less than iOS.
Does the threat of malware affect your decision on which mobile phone to purchase? If not, what does? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
