Samsung Nexus S reappears at the FCC with a pair of new antennas

Thinking that the not-yet-announced Samsung GT-i9020T (a.k.a. Nexus S ) might be delayed due to a last minute addition of a dual-core processor, as recently seen in the seemingly similar i9100 ?

Beijing proposes emergency talks on Korea crisis

Tweet – China called for emergency talks on resolving a crisis on the Korean peninsula on Sunday, and Seoul and Tokyo said they would study the proposal, as the US and South Korean militaries started a massive drill. Beijing’s move to bring the two Koreas to the negotiating table comes after global pressure on China to take a more responsible role in the standoff and try to rein in ally Pyongyang.
