"Guardians of the Galaxy" ruled the box office universe again this week. The cosmic Marvel adventure landed in first place at the box office for a fourth straight weekend with a take of $10.2 million. The domestic haul for "Guardians" now stands at more than $300 million after six weeks of release, making it 2014’s highest grossing North American film. Meanwhile, General Mills is buying organic-food seller Annie's for $820 million. The prepackaged foods giant added the maker of rabbit-shaped mac and cheese to its line-up, which already includes Pillsbury dough, Progresso soups and Yoplait yogurts. Finally, Apple unveiled a smartwatch on Tuesday, marking the company's first major entry in a new product category since the iPad's debut in 2010. The Apple Watch arrived alongside the company's two new, larger iPhones.
