Twenty-seven men up, twenty-seven men down!
GUANGZHOU, CHINA – An employee at a factory that makes iPhones in China killed himself after a prototype went missing.
The worker, Sun Danyong, 25, was a recent graduate in engineering who worked in product communications at Foxconn Technology Group. Foxconn is a Taiwanese firm that makes many Apple products at a massive factory in the southern city of Shenzhen, near Hong Kong.

CHICAGO, IL – Who is this Willis character anyway?
The public renaming ceremony will be hosted by Willis Group Holdings. That’s the London-based insurance brokerage that secured the naming rights as part an agreement to lease 140,000 square feet of space. Willis has said it plans to bring hundreds of jobs to the city.
Oh, okay. An insurance company in London.
But how dare they change the name of the building without asking me first. I probably would have said no, but they could’ve at least asked.
I hope the City of Chicago and Mr. Willis don’t mind if I continue to call the building the Sears Tower. They will just have to deal with it like the people at that company called US Cellular. I’m about to go to Comiski Park to watch the game.
