'Tis a sad day for those at BenQ Mobile, as the Munich-based company will reportedly be split up and sold after failing to turn around the struggling unit it acquired from Siemens AG. Honestly though, this shouldn't come as any major surprise, as the endeavor has already had its plug pulled and suffered through an investigation into its bankruptcy filing, so it's simply following the unfortunately necessary series of events as its dwindles into oblivion. The outfit's insolvency administrator announced that there would be "no realistic chance" of it being sold off as a whole, but didn't elaborate on exactly which portions would be segmented for bidding. Furthermore, it's suggested that "nearly all of the 3,000 jobs" at the division would vanish, but at least 550 have purportedly already found employment in other areas. I guess we should now cue the sappy background music as we sneak a peek at BenQ mobiles that could have been, but sadly never were never will be.

Matti Vanhanen is the current Prime Minister of Finland and was dubbed the "Sexiest Man" in the their country; however, being the sexiest man alive has nothing to do with having no backbone and not being able to breakup with another face-to-face." He had been dating Susan Kuronen, who he had met on the Internet, for several months before he decided to break up with her by sending a text message saying "that's it." We've never understood the cowardliness of people who can't break up with people face to face. Oh and by the way Jane, you and I are over!
