China rules in stocking stuffers, but it's climbing the technology ladder too. Its huge pool of cheap labor - up to 500 million peasants are expected to migrate to cities in search of factory work over the next two decades - should provide 20 more years of growth for an economy that already produces a quarter of the world's television sets and washing machines and half...
Printed as cheap, multivolume paperbacks and sold at major bookstores, manga have ignited graphic-novel sales around the world.

Jean-Georges Vongerichten (Jean Georges and Vong in New York) made up the fifth...
Every kid dreams of being a rock star - or at least a winner on Pop Idol - but few parents want to endure the cacophony from their very own Sheryl Crow-in-training. The new HandBand ($90) from KGI Consumer Products offers a cheap alternative. Using nothing more than a high-tech pair of gloves and a portable, wireless receiver, it lets kids play virtual guitar, keyboards or drums at less-than-earsplitting volume. Each bend of the finger produces a different note; you switch instruments with the push of a button. It's a great idea, but the execution needs...
