Details of Joan Rivers' will were also revealed on Wednesday, which estimated the late comedienne's wealth to be as much as $150 million. She left her fortune to her family and several charities.

3M Canada recently sponsored a class at Ontario College of Art & Design to revamp its office products, and the company now plans to produce the two best designs. One is a tape dispenser by Matthew Pacione; another is a Post-It dispenser by Scott Currie.
