Headlines
Good morning,

A Chinese welder has died after the mobile phone in his chest pocket exploded. Chinese state media reported that Xiao Jinpeng was killed in June while working at the Yingpan Iron Ore Dressing Plant.

Also, Mozilla and eBay have teamed up to launch the final version of the Firefox Companion for eBay. The release follows months of public testing and feedback from more than 100,000 members of the eBay community.
