• holding that a phone call from California to New Jersey that tortiously interfered with business in Illinois established personal jurisdiction in Illinois
• noting that the injury to a forum business claiming interference with prospective economic advantage did not occur until the defendant induced a customer to cancel its order with the forum business
• applying the definition of “reside” found in § 1391(c) to venue determination under § 1400(a)
• “bad financial consequences for a firm in Illinois do not amount to a tort in Illinois”
• The “tort was not complete (because no injury occurred) until Janmark’s customer canceled the order; the injury and thus the tort occurred in Illinois.”
• a shopping cart pushed into the ocean in New Jersey, which would cause economic injury to Janmark in Illinois, would nonetheless be a tort taking place in New Jersey
