Korean Air boss apologizes as hot-tempered daughters resign

On Sunday, Korean Air CEO Cho Yang-ho apologized for the "immature" behavior of his two daughters and said they would both immediately resign from their company posts following separate incidents.
Cho Hyun-min, the younger daughter who is a marketing executive for the South Korean airliner, is under police investigation for assault after she was accused of throwing water at a man's face during a business meeting.
"As chairman of Korean Air, as well as a father, I feel terrible about the immature actions of my daughters," Cho said in a statement, and added, "everything is my fault and my wrongdoing. I apologize to the people.”
Four years ago, her older sister Cho Hyun-ah made global headlines for angrily kicking a cabin crew member off a plane in a fit of “nut rage” after being served nuts in a bag rather than a bowl. (AFP)

Qualcomm to lay off 1,500 employees to cut costs

US chipmaker Qualcomm began slashing jobs at its California facilities in keeping a promise they had made to investors to fend off a hostile takeover by chip rival Broadcom.
The White House administration blocked Broadcom's buyout on national security grounds, but Qualcomm investors were frustrated by its lagging share price and poor financial performance relative to its semiconductor peers.
Local media reported the San Diego-based wireless telecom giant will cut over 1,200 jobs at their local facility, and over 250 at their offices in San Jose and Santa Clara by mid-June.
According to the San Diego Business Journal, Qualcomm filed a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification notice with the state of California on Thursday, stating 1,500 employees would be terminated on or about June 19. (Xinhua)

Space mining to become new industry frontier

The next trillion-dollar industry will be in the mining sector, and the world's first trillionaire will make their fortune in outer space prospecting, according to a recent report from Goldman Sachs.
The prediction was echoed by astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson, who said, "The first trillionaire there will ever be is the person who exploits the natural resources on asteroids."
More than 12,000 asteroids, packed with precious metals, are within 45 million kilometers of Earth.
Today, asteroid mining is mostly led by private sector interests, but the small country of Luxemburg has also taken a huge interest in the developing industry.
"Our goal is to put into place an overall framework for the exploration and commercial use of resources from 'celestial bodies' such as asteroids, or from the moon," said Etienne Schneider, Luxembourg's deputy prime minister and minister of the economy. (RT)
