This week in Technology Insider

Welcome to the Tech Insider. This week, Diane Brady examines Martha Stewart’s move from TV queen to Web superstar. While Hallmark Channel canceled her TV show, and the September issue of Martha Stewart Living magazine has almost 40 percent fewer ad pages than last year, America's most famous homemaker is forging deals that suggest her brand is far from dead. In fact, she's laying the foundation for a company that could finally become a global growth story. We also have stories on Apple, Amazon.com, and Chinese iPhone 5 knockoffs. Enjoy!
