South Korea's Samsung has chosen Taylor, Texas for a new $17bn computer chip factory. The US is hoping to bring more such hi-tech manufacturing back on to American shores, and we explore the implications with Justin Sayers from the Austin Business Journal. And would you want to live to 150? With leaps in technology, science and medicine, it's becoming an increasingly realistic possibility; the 大象传媒's Elizabeth Hotson reports on the science - and business - of longevity. Plus, at its annual Golden Joystick awards, the video games industry celebrated 50 years of games, marking the November 1971 launch of Computer Space. Dan Dawkins is content director at Games Radar, and tells us more about the event. And we're joined throughout the programme by Catherine Yeung from Fidelity in Hong Kong and in Washington DC, Dante Disparte, Head of Global policy at Circle Pay.
