What I'm Doing With My Life.....

Ferdinand Puentes, 39, was among the eight passengers in the Cessna Grand Caravan that lost power and crashed off the coast of Molokai, Hawaii, last month. Puentes captured much of the terrifying ordeal on his GoPro camera. "There wasn't panic or anything. It was very orderly. It wasn't like any of the movies or the TV shows," passenger C. Phillip Hollstein Jr.  told   The Associated Press. Puentes' footage  shows passengers calmly exiting the plane, which was quickly filling up with water. "I actually had two GoPro cameras, but the one on the stick was rolling," he  told  HawaiiNewsNow. Puentes posted selfies of himself floating in the ocean on Facebook.  In one photo , a fellow passenger floats behind him. In another,  the plane sinks  in the distance.

World leaders a ISRAEL President Shimon Peres gave a very personal tribute to a man who was a friend, long-time political rival and also a partner in Israel's 2001 unity government. He spoke of his dear friend Arik who "knew no fear" and was one of the architects of his country.

That's what happened to an employee at AOL, when the company's chief executive, Tim Armstrong, lost his cool during a major conference call. Mr Armstrong was reportedly not pleased about the employee taking his photo. So, in a snap decision, he fired him.

Microsoft's unboxing video offers plenty of dazzling jargon, details of 'bonus' features and yet another reverse-ferret Protests over the Xbox One’s always-online functionality have been heard loud and clear. A one-liner has stuck around the  games  industry for a while now. What is Microsoft 's successor to  Xbox  360? The Xbox 180. Such has been the runup to the release of the  Xbox One , which has featured more reverse-ferrets than a mirrored petting zoo – and all of them self-inflicted. Thursday brings another, but this time wrapped in the more interesting news of what exactly gamers will get for their investment of £429 – outlined in that most modern of formats, the "unboxing video". If you can't spare a few minutes of your life to watch big-budget QVC, fear not. The headline change here is the  inclusion of a chat headset , because back in June Microsoft announced customers would have to buy it separately. The newly packed-in he...
