Supersized Supermodel Has Big, Big Plans
By David Moye - AOL NewsThe heavens may be closer when you're 6 foot 8, but that doesn't mean you stop reaching for the stars. So is the case for a woman known professionally as Amazon Eve, who is about to reach a big milestone by being officially declared "the world's tallest model."

Internet Kill Switch: Should the United States Emulate Egypt?

Championed by Sen. Joe Lieberman, the bill would give President Barack Obama (and those who succeed him) control to snuff out the Internet in one ...
Google Offers the Latest Salvo in Battle Against Groupon
