When you lose someone or something very precious to you, the grief can be intense. Pain, sad memories, and unanswered questions can haunt you. You may even feel that you'll never be the same - that you'll never laugh or be whole again. Take heart - though there is no way to grieve without pain, there are healthy ways to grieve which allow you to constructively move forward. Don't settle for a life drained of joy - work through your loss and, slowly but surely, you will get better.
Once Freescale has grieved their loss, that can hire new engineers at a lower salary to replace those lost who, as it were, were working to reduce costs for the company with factories in China. So the company's loss is... Well, you get the ugly picture. |

| I will be a little bit surpriced if the flight was not hijacked.
(planes do not disappear just like that, countries monitor their air space so intensely)
btw. perhaps it's conspiracy, because next AOS HW was going to use freescale chip... I blame apple again. 
UPDATE: Planes should have "airbag launcher" kind of system at the rear of the plane. So that in case the plane hits the sea, visible "balloon" is anyway left on top of the sea to mark the position (perhaps even with a radio beacon to pinpoint the position).

The problem with this is the ability for a pilot to be able to disable those systems in-flight that track the aircraft - transponder and Aircraft Communications Addressing and Reporting System (ACARS).
Since normally a pilot would not do this, it is both odd that this was done around the final communication with the aircraft, and that pilots have the ability to do it (usually pulling a breaker somewhere). _________________
