Another comedian takes Louis C.K.'s route as Net entrepreneur

Comedian and actor Aziz Ansari is selling his new hour-long stand-up special, "Dangerously Delicious" for $5 over the Internet.

The last time Louis C.K. offered a sales update, he said the experiment had pulled in $1 million in sales.

In a statement published on his Web site, Ansari explained his reasons for going solo.

"I wanted to release it online because I saw … Read more

Eau De P.O.S.: A new hybrid fragrance by Calvin Klein

Banking on the not-so-recent popularity of digital audio, opportunist Calvin Klein is kicking off his latest "We Are One" campaign with a commemorative bottle of the classic CK1 fragrance that features a removable speaker at its base.

If I had to guess, I'd put my paycheck on "absolutely none whatsoever," and if I'm right, the audio quality of the speaker is probably about as good as a front door intercom.

What Audio Technica has done is shove a woofer and a separate tweeter into each of the new CK10 earphones.

Now it's not the first … Read more
