Samsung has yet to make an official announcement about the followup to its Galaxy S Duos. But, if the company’s online store in India is any indication, it won’t be too long before the second-gen dual-SIM-toting handset becomes available.

The listing also notes that the Duos 2 — said to be running Android 4.2 — will be sold for 10,999 Indian rupees, which comes out to a little over 175 bucks in the US.

Back in March, news surfaced that Panasonic would be pulling out of the plasma TV business, something that was substantiated by sources who spoke to Reuters back in October. In line with its efforts to cut down on businesses that prove unprofitable, the company will be making some drastic changes to its digital camera division […]

WASHINGTON, Nov 29 (Reuters) – The U.S. government said it would take down the website at the center of President Barack Obama’s healthcare reforms for an extended 11-hour period overnight on Friday as technology experts push to complete upgrades by a Nov. 30 deadline.
The website, HealthCare.gov, was supposed to make it easy to shop for health insurance required by the Obamacare law when it launched on Oct. 1, but quickly turned into a political disaster after errors and timelags prevented most people who visited the site from signing up.
Obama officials tasked with rescuing his signature initiative pledged that they would have it working well for most people by Nov. 30.
They had worked on software and hardware upgrades through the U.S. Thanksgiving week to double its capacity so as many as 50,000 people could shop at the same time on the site.
Just ahead of that self-imposed Saturday deadline, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services said the website would be down for an unusually long period, from 9 p.m. EST on Friday until 8 a.m. EST on Saturday.
“We will be making upgrades to the system and will require more than our usual four hours to complete,” said a Health and Human Services official.
The agency, which is in charge of the website, has been taking the site down regularly overnight to make fixes, and will do so again early on Sunday morning from 1 a.m. EST until 5 a.m. EST.
HARD TO ASSESS THE FIX
The flopped launch has hurt early enrollment numbers – and Obama’s polling numbers, which have sunk to the lowest level of his presidency.
“But the good thing about when you’re down is that usually you got nowhere to go but up,” Obama said in an interview set to air late on Friday on ABC Television.
Republicans have said the early failures justify their opposition to the program. Democrats have put pressure on Obama to extend deadlines for signing up.
Americans wanting insurance by Jan. 1 have until Dec. 23 to enroll, and other uninsured Americans have to sign up by March 31, or face penalties.
Several experts told Reuters it will be hard to independently assess on Saturday whether the site has met the administration’s goals of functioning for most users most of the time, including handling 50,000 concurrent users.
“There won’t be anything you can tell from the outside,” said Jonathan Wu, an IT expert and co-founder of the consumer financial website ValuePenguin.
When the site opened for enrollment on Oct. 1, the widespread failures started with the simple act of trying to create an account. But now, any remaining problems lie much deeper within the site, he said.
“We really have no idea what down-the-line-problems still may exist,” including the system for paying insurers when a consumer enrolls in one of their plans, he said in an interview. (Reporting by Roberta Rampton; Editing by Sandra Maler)

This is a unique service that I stumbled upon earlier today. It is called ReminderFeed and it will create a reminder for in the format of an RSS feed. I thought it was very interesting because you just put in the information about the event and it will generate the subscription links for you. Then when that day comes around it will automatically appear in your feed reader.
The only bad part is that it doesn’t offer customizability for repeating events. You can choose to have the event for a single day or for it to appear every day. Maybe options as simple as weekly, monthly, and yearly would greatly enhance the usability of the service (especially for birthdays and anniversaries).
I originally thought this was something that Google Calendar provided since you can create a feed for a specific calendar. Then I remembered that with Google Calendar the feed shows all of the events, so once you subscribe to the feed it will download everything that is currently in that calendar. That means when the day of the event comes around it will not show up again, but with ReminderFeed the event is not made available until that specific day.

LONDON (AP) — A helicopter crashed late Friday night into the roof of a popular pub in Glasgow, Scotland, leaving the building littered with debris and emergency crews scrambling to the scene.
Photos of the scene show what appears to be wreckage of the helicopter on the roof with the word “police” across the side. Part of the roof appears to have caved in. Rescue workers swarm the door of the pub.
