At Friday's iPhone 4 presser, aka Antennagate, Steve Jobs was tasked with bringing Apple's credibility back up to snuff after angering customers over the phone's nagging reception issues. And just as many cell phone companies such as Nokia and Blackberry cried foul when Jobs unapologetically showed how their phones suffered from a similar "death grip," it seems there is someone else calling foul: South Korea.

North Korea may have lost control of their World Cup game against Portugal (7-0!), but the nation's also lost control of something much more deadly: Waste products from its attempts to build a hydrogen bomb have been detected in South Korea.

South Korea fails, while an American startup cruises along. South Korea's second attempt to get a home-manufactured rocket into orbit has ended in fiery disaster just three minutes into flight. It's a shame for the budding space nation--but all the more indicative that SpaceX's Falcon 9 is a truly impressive piece of technology.
