Samsung announces the Exynos 4 Quad, coming to the 'next Galaxy'

Android Central

Samsung couldn't contain the excitement, and just had to let us know the details about the chip powering the "Next Galaxy" that's coming on May 3.  It's called the Exynos 4 Quad, and it looks impressive. What, exactly, makes it so special?  It's built on a 32nm HKMG process, which is geek talk for high-performance with low power consumption. How good is the performance? Samsung claims it's twice as fast as it's predecessor, the 45nm Exynos 4 Dual, while consuming 20 percent less power. To further help power consumption, each core can be turned off when it's not needed, and the ones that are running can adjust their clock speed to match the demands of what you're doing.

Each core will be running at 1.4 HGHz, and are based on the Cortex A9 architecture. It has the other essentials as well, with support for 1080p/30fps recording, boasts an embedded image signal processor, and has support for HDMI 1.4 output. They didn't give any specifics as to what GPU they are pairing it with, though, but it's sure to be impressive. Excited yet? I know some of you are.

Discuss it in the Android Hardware forum!

The Most Detailed Images of Polar Ice Cap Thickness Yet [Science]

In 2010, the European Space Agency launched Cryosat, a spacecraft designed to monitor changes in the shape and thickness of polar ice on Earth. It's taken the scientists behind the project some time to crunch through all the data—but they've managed it, and the new images offer an unprecedented view of the state of our ice caps. More »

Kandi rips Marlo in Atlanta 'Housewives' reunion

Bravo

Cynthia Bailey was caught in the middle as Marlo Hampton (left) and Kandi Burruss (right) fought on the final installment of "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" reunion special.

By Ree Hines

If you thought "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" got all the feuding and fighting out of their systems during the first two parts of the reunion special, think again. On Sunday night, part three proved that the ladies of the South haven't reached a cease-fire in their war of words.

In fact, they're far from it. On the heels of the battle between NeNe Leakes and Sheree Whitfield and the blowout between Kim Zolciak and Marlo Hampton came a matchup no one anticipated: Marlo vs. Kandi Burruss.

It even came as a shock to reunion host Andy Cohen, who tweeted, "I didn't see this fight btwn Marlo and Kandi coming" as it aired.

It all started calmly enough when Kandi was reminded that Marlo once called her a "sugar mama," which Kandi dismissed as a laughing matter -- at least at first.

But when Marlo pressed the point, asking whether or not Kandi's current main man works or if he lives with her and drives her car, the calm came to an end.

"I wasn't even going to be mean ... but now you wanna come at me?" Kandi asked before swapping between bouts of defending her man and attempting to put Marlo in her place -- all while letting the expletives fly.

Check out the bleep-filled scene for yourself in the clip below:

Robin Gibb Stuns Doctors After Emerging From Coma

Bee Gees member Robin Gibb shocked his doctors over the weekend when he emerged from a weeklong coma. The 62-year-old disco icon lapsed into a coma after contracting pneumonia during his battle with cancer.

According to BBC News, a family spokesperson said Gibb, 62, was able to nod and communicate with the members of his family who've held a vigil in his London hospital room. Gibb has been battling colon and liver cancer and in February he said he'd made a "spectacular" recovery from the disease, but was soon back in the hospital for surgery.

The "Saturday Night Fever" singer had bowel surgery 18 months ago for an unrelated condition, at which time doctors discovered a tumor and diagnosed him with colon cancer. It appeared as if the cancer was in remission as recently as last month.

Weakened from chemotherapy and two operations, Gibb lapsed into the coma last week after contracting pneumonia. Dr. Andrew Thillainayagam said on Friday that he had warned the singer's family that Robin might not wake up. In a statement, Thillainayagam said Gibb remains in intensive care and is, "exhausted, extremely weak and malnourished." He's breathing with the help of an oxygen mask and needs intravenous feeding and antibiotics.

He added, "It is testament to Robin's extraordinary courage, iron will and deep reserves of physical strength that he has overcome quite incredible odds to get where he is now." Wife Dwina, and sons Robin-John and Spencer and daughter Melissa have been at Gibb's side talking to him and playing his favorite music.

UFC 146 set after Roy Nelson vs. Gabriel Gonzaga added

The UFC 146 dominoes have finally stopped falling, as the all-heavyweight main card is set. Roy Nelson will face Gabriel Gonzaga and Shane Del Rosario will fight Stipe Miocic.

The shake-up started on Friday, when Alistair Overeem withdrew from the title bout with Junior dos Santos after a pre-fight test showed elevated levels of testosterone. Overeem said he wanted time to resolve the issue with the Nevada Athletic Commission, but that left dos Santos without an opponent and UFC 146 without a main event.

Frank Mir stepped into the title fight, Antonio Silva was given the bout with Cain Velasquez, Nelson got Gonzaga, and Miocic, who was not originally on the card, stepped up to fight Del Rosario.

What do you think of the updates to the card? Tell us in the comments, on Facebook or on Twitter.
