Kareena overtakes Priyanka

They might be constantly contending each other in the Bollywood rat race to seek the number one position but this time Kareena Kapoor has overtaken Priyanka Chopra in bagging an international endorsement.

Seems like the foreign brand was initially keen on getting Priyanka Chopra on board as the brand ambassador but their company survey showed that Kareena is a more popular name and brand globally which people could easily identify with. So the endorsement landed in Kareena's kitty. Presently Kareena Kapoor has the maximum number of endorsements with as many as 14 brands.

Interestingly Kareena Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra who are arch rivals came together for a stage performance in a recent event. Hope this endorsement race doesn't spark off another animosity between the two.

Nuclear Talks Between Iran, 6 Nations Fail

World powers have failed to persuade Iran to take steps to ease suspicions over its nuclear programme as the defiant Islamic republic insisted on uranium enrichment.

Two-day talks in Istanbul between Iran and the so-called P5Ư group ended without progress and no new meeting was scheduled to tackle concerns that Tehran is secretly developing an atomic bomb.

"We had hoped to embark on a discussion of practical ways forward, and have made every effort to make that happen. I am disappointed to say that this has not been possible," EU foreign policy chief Catherine Ashton told reporters."No new talks have been planned," she said.

Ashton headed the delegation of the P5Ư group, comprised of Britain, China, France, Russia, the United States and Germany.

A senior US diplomat said diplomatic channels remained open.

"The door is open... we continue to believe that there is time and space for diplomacy," he said on condition of anonymity.

The United States and Israel have not ruled out military action against Iran to prevent it from acquiring nuclear weapons.

Iran had set the stage for wrangling as soon as the meeting began Friday, declaring that its sensitive uranium enrichment work was not up for debate.

Speaking shortly after Ashton, its chief negotiator Saeed Jalili insisted that Iran "has the right to a combustion cycle, including the enrichment of uranium," under the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.

"This right must be recognised," he said, stressing that "we are ready for talks, even tomorrow" if the six powers were to accede to the long-standing Iranian demand.

The Istanbul gathering was the second between the two sides after talks resumed last month in Geneva, breaking a 14-month hiatus in diplomatic efforts to settle the dispute.

Amazon Creates 950 Scottish Jobs

Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond has confirmed that Amazon is to create 950 jobs in the country.

"iPhone 5" Pics Showed Verizon iPhone 4 Parts

A few days ago, pictures of an aluminium frame for what seemed to be the iPhone 5 emerged online and we can now confirmed that they were actually parts for the Verizon iPhone 4.

The original images can be found here and shows very small but significant differences between the GSM and the CDMA frames. The latter has four bands rather than three and you can actually view both the AT&T and the Verizon iPhone 4 over at Slashgear.

Looking closely at the pictures, you will find four black bands on the Verizon Wireless model with a slightly different positioning for the vibrate switch and volume keys.

This lead us to believe that Apple must have changed something on the board itself which means that a CDMA motherboard will not align perfectly in a GSM case and vice versa.

The fact that Apple has asked for the original Global Direct parts video to be taken down means that the parts were genuine.

Indeed, GlobalDirectParts.com sells OEM parts for the iPhone 4 (and for dozens of other devices as well); these include the rare white OEM Apple iPhone 4 battery door without the flash trim ring.
