Amongst a sea of corporate retailers in Hong Kong, craftsman Au Yeung Ping Chi has found a niche market for his gadgets: mourning families. Admittedly, his products aren't meant for vigorous use, as they are made entirely out of paper and only meant to dissolve into ashes. At the Bo Wah Effigies Shop, Au Yeung crafts paper effigies that are custom-made to fit orders put in by bereaved families. ...

Thanks to technology like Google Earth, you can visit places with a few clicks and keystrokes.

According to a report by San Francisco's ABC News 7 (catch it after the break), professors and graduate students at the ...

There is devotion, and then there is crazy Apple fanboy devotion. Take a look at this Apple Store diorama built by Gary Katz -- a man with apparently a lot of time on his hands.

Models -- usually only known for their vapidness and abilities to sit, lounge, walk and look pretty -- are just as avid tweeters and updaters as are ...

After a brief period of unofficial officialness yesterday morning, Tesla has rolled out the Model S to a sea of eager photographers.

Top-paid models may have luxurious, pampered lives, but they are also frequently targeted by bitter, jealous cretins. Take for example Canadian model Liskula Cohen. She has been targeted by a cyber-bully for, well, being a beautiful, successful model, CBS News reports.
