Here's what LG's Nexus 4 looks like on the inside

We've all seen numerous photos of the LG Nexus 4 from the outside, but if you've been curious as to what's lurking behind that shiny glass back, then wonder no more. A source has passed the above image to us, showing what you'll find if you unscrew the phone's back panel and look inside. As has been extensively reported in recent weeks, the back is intended to be non-removable, but with a bit of disassembly, it is possible to get inside.

Unsurprisingly, the back is dominated by the battery, which we now know to be a 2100mAh unit. It's not intended to be user-replaceable, but there are just a few standard screws between you and the battery. At a push, we imagine a technically proficient user could perform a successful Nexus 4 battery transplant if required.

The rest is pretty much as we'd expect it to be -- there's a plastic frame, gold contacts for antennae, and cutouts for the rear speaker, 8MP camera and LED flash. Peeking out from under that plastic is the PCB, which houses the 1.5GHz quad-core Snapdragon S4 Pro CPU, along with RAM, flash storage and other gubbins. Naturally, the SIM card slot isn't sealed behind the glass panel -- instead it's accessible via an iPhone-style microSIM tray on the right edge.

The Nexus 4 is so close, we can practically taste it. Don't forget we'll be live from New York on Oct. 29 for the announcement event!

Thanks, Anon!

Boo-reaucrats: 8 Presidential Families?And Pets!?Dressed Up for ...

Politicians have to dress the part. Before public appearances, they meet with image consultants to ensure that they?re wearing the perfect power tie and accessorizing with American flag memorabilia that?s noticeable without being ostentatious. But what might impress the average American even more than a tailored suit? An awesome Halloween costume. Hollywood celebrities aren?t the only famous people who get dressed up on October 31. Sometimes politicians don wigs, makeup, and weird clothes to get their Frankenstein on. We bet they?re pretty good at campaigning for candy, too. Plus, the festive pets that rub elbows?err, paws?with some very powerful political figures.

1. B-Arrrr-ack Obama

Long before the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), President Barack Obama was an old-school pirate. Lots of Halloween costumes are scary, but yes we can also appreciate one that?s just plain adorable.

2. Halloween Obama-Rama

First Lady Michelle Obama changed into leopard spots at a 2009 Alice in Wonderland-themed Halloween event for the children of White House staff members and military families. Sasha wore a red gown, while big sister Malia cleverly dressed up as the Morton salt girl. Meanwhile, President Obama could?ve been anyone?s dad in a sweater and oxford shirt.

Bill and Hillary are an easy go-to couples costume?you can find vinyl masks of both of them at most Halloween stores. But the power couple channeled another president and first lady at the White House Halloween party in 1993. If you thought the Clinton White House was exciting, consider what fourth president James Madison and his wife Dolley went through. During the War of 1812 (which actually lasted from 1812-1815), the British invaded Washington and set fire to various government buildings, including the White House, United States Treasury, and U.S. Capitol. Fortunately, Dolley rescued original drafts of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution from the blaze.

4. Al Gore?s Fuzzy Mask

Should we blame it on global warming ? or the full moon? Former Vice-President Al Gore and then-wife Tipper were dressed to the canines at their 1997 Halloween party. But with a last name like Gore, we expected no less. (They?ve also dressed up as Beauty and the Beast, mummies, and Underdog and Sweet Polly Purebred.)

5. Scare-a-lot

The White House is probably one of the best places to go trick or treating, provided that the current health-focused administration hasn?t completely phased out the candy. Back in 1963, John, Jr. and Caroline Kennedy made the rounds all the way to the Oval Office. Their dad?s costume: most photogenic POTUS ever.

6. Bo(o) Obama

There?s nothing scary about First Dog Bo Obama. His owners have joked that the four-legged fluffball is even more charismatic than the president. Still, Bo enjoys his privacy. This superhero doppelganger is only a statue that?s decorated for each holiday at the White House.

7. Cowboy Dog-plomacy

Former First Dog Barney wasn?t a favorite White House pet. The Scottish terrier got a lot of bad press, perhaps because he had a tendency to bite members of the media. Karl Rove called Barney ?a lump,? and Vladimir Putin said he was too small to befit a world leader. But his owners, former President George W. and Laura Bush, just think he?s a loner cowboy?and dressed him accordingly in 2007. (India and Miss Beazley are dressed up as a wizard and a strawberry, respectively.)

8. May The Snark Be With You

Some critics of former Vice President Dick Cheney have called him ?the Darth Vader of the Bush administration,? a distinction he eventually embraced. In 2007, Cheney even dressed his black Labrador retriever Jackson as the Sith Lord. His other Lab, Dave, served as a heroic foil in a Superman costume.

Halliburton profit falls, but in line with market estimates

(Reuters) - Halliburton Co's third-quarter profit fell in line with analysts' estimates due to the high cost of a key drilling material and a slowdown in North American drilling activity because of low natural gas prices.

The world's second-largest oilfield services company said revenue in North America fell 5 percent from the second quarter, mainly because of weak demand for hydraulic fracturing services but also as a result of disruptions caused by Hurricane Isaac.

Oilfield services companies have far less pricing power in the United States this year as depressed natural gas prices have reduced the number of rigs targeting gas to a 13-year low.

Halliburton said that although the U.S. oil-directed rig count rose 3 percent from the second quarter, the increase was not enough to offset the 18 percent drop in natural gas rigs.

However, international revenue rose 2 percent from the second quarter despite a decline of 2 percent in the global rig count, mainly as a result of solid sequential growth in its operations in Latin America and the Middle East.

Halliburton's decision to stockpile guar, a key ingredient in hydraulic fracturing fluids, in the second quarter has backfired, as prices have since started to fall.

Net income fell to $604 million, or 65 cents per share, in the third quarter from $685 million, or 74 cents per share, a year earlier. Revenue rose 9 percent to $7.1 billion.

Income from continuing operations, on an adjusted basis, was 67 cents per share.

Halliburton shares, which have gained 19 percent in the last three months, were at $34.07 in pre-market trading after closing at $34.56 on the New York Stock Exchange on Tuesday.

There Is Simply No End To The Steak Frites At Garces Trading Co ...

Though nothing short of ?Free Sex? jumps out as us like ?Endless?, those belt-loosening establishments usually manifest themselves as establishments with the words Buffet or Corral where they offer gloppy chafing dishes of fatty starches or starchy fats. To see the word appear at a respectable, why-don?t-you-put-on-your-nice-shirt bistro like Garces Trading Company has us skipping lunch in anticipation. Chef Jose Garces was recently in Southern France and has decided to bring back ?Endless Steak Frites? for us to enjoy.

?This summer, my family and I traveled to Provence to celebrate my birthday, and I fell in love with French bistro fare all over again,? says Chef Garces, a James Beard Award winner who is also one of Food Network?s Iron Chefs and regularly competes on Iron Chef America. ?This rustic-yet-decadent meal is my fond tribute to the exceptional steak frites we enjoyed abroad.?

The Steak Frites meal, which is served during lunch and dinner, starts with a green salad and includes endless grilled hanger steak, served alongside house duck fat French fries with a choice of three sauces: B?arnaise, an emulsification of egg yolk and clarified butter with white wine vinegar; Bordelaise, a port wine reduction with veal demiglace and bone marrow; and Sauce au Poivre Vert, a creamy green peppercorn sauce made with brandy and Dijon mustard. Guests order their steak cooked to the temperature they prefer, and unlimited, additional servings are available upon request. At just $25 per person, plus tax and gratuity, it is one of the city?s most affordable steak dinners.

Garces Trading Company offers a plethora of beverages to enjoy with the steak frites ranging from the innovative house-bottled carbonated cocktails to craft beers and sangria or a selection from the European wine list. Guests are also welcome to purchase a bottle of wine from the on-site wine boutique. After the first bottle, there is a $10 corkage fee per bottle.

So come hungry, and if you?re gonna wear sweatpants, at least make them velour.

California moves to open probe into San Onofre nuclear shutdown

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - California regulators on Tuesday took steps to open a formal probe into the outage at two nuclear reactors at the San Onofre power plant, potentially reducing the burden on rate payers by $1.1 billion until southern California's largest power plant is reopened.

The California Public Utilities Commission said it would vote on October 25 to formally open an investigation into the causes of the shutdown in January of the San Onofre Unit 2 and Unit 3 reactors and whether they will be restarted to provide "safe and reasonable service at just and reasonable rates".

In its filing, the commission said it could take all costs associated with the two plants out of the rate base, dating back to January 1, and place them in a "deferred debit account pending the return of one or both facilities to useful service".

Rates at utilities Southern California Edison and San Diego Gas & Electric include more than $800 million in fixed costs and $300 million in annual operating costs related to the units, the commission said in its proposal.

The commission could also review some or all of the $671 million it authorized to replace the power plant's steam generators.

Both of the San Onofre nuclear units have been shut since January after a small radioactive steam leak at one unit pointed to a problem with accelerated degradation of tubes in the units' brand new steam generators.

"There are issues about how much cost, if any, should be paid by rate payers and company owners," the commission said. "Therefore, it is in the public interest to undertake an investigation into the facts and circumstances of the outages for the purpose of exercising our statutory authority over rate recovery of associated utility costs."

San Onofre, the biggest power plant in Southern California, is 78 percent-owned by Southern California Edison, a unit of Edison International. The remainder is held by San Diego Gas & Electric, which is a unit of Sempra Energy, and the city of Riverside.

A representative for Southern California Edison, which is responsible for operating the power plant, could not immediately be reached for comment.

The commission asked the two utilities to track their costs incurred on San Onofre after January 1 of this year in a memorandum account.

It also warned that there may be questions about the degree to which the manufacturer of the reactors' steam generators, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Ltd, may be responsible for expenses related to the shutdown.

Southern California Edison said on October 4 that it wants to restart San Onofre's 1,070-megawatt (MW) Unit 2 and operate it at up to 70 percent of capacity for about five months before shutting it again for inspections.

The San Onofre plant carries both property damage and outage insurance issued by Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited, Edison said in filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The company said it has notified the carrier of potential claims.
