Faster than you can say baby back ribs, I drove down to a Viking distributor in Hayward, Calif., where a fellow named Mike Love gave me a quick demo of the $3,000 cooker. Most smokers I've used look like something from The Beverly Hillbillies. The Viking smoker is a sleek, 375-lb. (170 kg) stainless-steel vault built to resemble a high-end refrigerator. A cute little chimney vents smoke from the middle. The "gravity feed," Love pointed...

So her talent was no surprise to her neighbors. "Everyone here knew she could sing," Jackie Russell, manager of the local pub, told the AP. "We were always saying, 'You should go in for talent competitions.'" What held...
...uploaded by people across the world. In one of his creations, dubbed "This Is What It Became," the 26-year-old artist juxtaposes clips of a "Glitch Monster Love Bot," a tutorial called "How to Play Conga Drums," a dimly lit monologue for the legalization of marijuana and a demo for a toy keyboard/ tape deck that YouTuber CosmoHelectraStudio, who posted the video of the gadget, describes as "a very bad sound" and "a poor tape player...
