Last month, we mentioned concerns over the iPhone's potential susceptibility to hackers. The gadget's latest snag is not nearly as dangerous, but was still irritating enough to some users to become the subject of an article from USA Today  this week. Several users have started getting their first bills from AT&T, and customers like Justine Ezarik of Pittsburgh were surprised by the quantity of information they received in their statements.

Ezarik received a hefty 300-page bill that was so large it had to be delivered in a box, itemizing her text messages and internet usage in great detail. "This is so silly," Ezarik said. "There's no reason they need to send you this much information." Others have mentioned receiving bills that were 52 double-sided pages long.

AT&T spokesman Mark Siegel emphasized that customers have the option to change their billing preferences and details, and that the reported large bills are generally uncommon. "We're not sending lots of boxed bills to customers," Siegel said, adding, "We don't want to presume for the customer that they want detail or don't want detail. That needs to be up to them."--Kevin Manahan

After years of being frowned upon, the secondhand clothing industry is making a comeback. Economic uncertainty is one reason many parents are flocking to them for back-to-school shopping rather than spending big bucks at department stores. But in general, secondhand clothing is becoming more acceptable, with nicer shops sprouting up across the country, offering upscale brands at lower prices. According to America's Research Group, about 15 percent of people shop at a resale or consignment store at least once a year. The National Association of Resale & Thrift Shops says the secondhand industry has been increasing five percent each year for the past decade.

But on the flip side, some people think secondhand shops are too picky and stingy when it comes to selling used clothing to them. "It simply is not worth the hassle to get so little money for so few items and still have a lot to donate anyway," said shopper Susan Bejot. Most secondhand shops require clothing be relatively new, clean and free of holes.

The queens of quinceañeras are coming through. First, MTV's My Super Sweet Sixteen glammed up the birthday event for teenage girls, and now, the quinceañera market is taking over. On August 29, MisQuinceMag.com will launch as "the" website for planning the special 15th birthday celebration of a Latina girl. The site will feature content written in both English and Spanish regarding dresses, planning tips and celebrity advice. Chris Johnson, a content director for Hearst Magazines Digital Media, which produces the site, said it's an important niche to be filled. "It's a growing market with increasing spending power, and when you look at the audience for pure spending terms, 57 percent of Latino youth are online daily."
