News of the week

Oh what a week it has been here in Toronto!

So many news stores so little time to blog them!

What is making big news today in Toronto?

Beginning at  5:30 am many people were in line at the Eaton Center for the coveted iPhone 5, Apple's latest installment in the iPhone family.

For those who foresaw the long lineups at Apple stores from previous releases and pre-ordered their iPhones online they were sound asleep this morning.

The funniest thing that has to do with the new iPhone is a video coming from overseas.
Two pranksters super glued the most coveted smartphone to the pavement in Amsterdam and filmed people trying to snatch it. The results are quite hilarious

It has been a busy week in news here in Toronto and on a side note the tragic death of Jayesh is a shock indeed. What is more shocking however are allegations coming forward that gas attendants are responsible for paying for stolen gas. If these are indeed true that is despicable! It's not enough that most of these workers are working minimum wage and long hours but to make them pay for stolen gas is totally wrong.


That's all for now more this weekend.
