No, not that Yoshi , but the real, officially licensed critter with a penchant for chomping Goombas and dropping eggs. Nintendo’s 3DS handheld has, according to 3DS Buzz , been stolen from a Chinese manufacturing factory and leaked all over the Internet. This version is a little different than what we saw at E3 and even the “official” version from the September 29th announcement , the Select, Home, and Start buttons having been made flush into the screen bezel. Also, a 1300mAh battery is confirmed, as is 96MB of RAM. We have another picture of it below, showing it’s size compared to everything from a Game Boy Micro to a DSi XL , nicely demonstrating that Nintendo’s new hotness is a little bit smaller than even a standard DSi . That’s progress for ya, folks. Update : David T. wrote in with a video of the thing in action — well, in non-action, really. It’s embedded below, and as you can see the poor backless 3DS is decidedly non-functional.

Even at its default 1GHz speed, Samsung’s Hummingbird is one of the finest mobile processor around, but are you really going to complain about getting the option to crank an extra 200 milion clock cycles out of it? Morfic over on the xda-developers forums has delivered a kernel permitting Nexus S owners to achieve just that, although he still has to fix an issue that disables the phone’s Bluetooth capabilities.Still, if you value ludicrous speed over wireless peripherals, the source link is your friend.

ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast – West African leaders are headed back to Ivory Coast in an effort to persuade incumbent Laurent Gbagbo to cede power more than a month after the election. A delegation from the regional bloc ECOWAS is due to arrive in Abidjan later Monday. They will be joined by the Kenyan prime minister, who is serving as the African Union’s emissary. ECOWAS has threatened to use military force to remove Gbagbo if he doesn’t step down, but the bloc says it wants to give negotiations more time. The United Nations and others say that Gbagbo lost the Nov. 28 runoff election to Alassane Ouattara. The U.N. says at least 173 people have been killed in violence over the…

Can’t say we’re surprised — after all, last time we checked in the tally was hovering around 9.3 million — but now Samsung has officially met its goal of 10 million Galaxy S phones sold around the globe. That’s less than seven months since the device first hit the market, which by Sammy’s fuzzy math averages to about one unit for every two seconds it’s been on sale. According to Samsung Tomorrow , North America contributed the most with 4 million in sales, followed by Europe at 2.5 million. Let there be cake, and once that’s over, let there be progress on those Froyo updates .
