Sony Dash was shown at the CES a few months back for the first time. The device is being offered at a lucrative price of $200, which can give serious competition to the Apple iPad, which is quite expensive compared to Sony Dash. It has a nice 7-inch touch screen, which has a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. It displays most Web Pages accurately. The device supports WiFi and so web browsing on the move is fairly easy for its users. The device is pretty powerful in the sense that it can playback video from Netflix and access social media applications without hiccup. However, it is not a net top since there is no such input device. The Dash also has accelerometer. Sony has also provided a headphone jack and a USB port so that you can connect other devices. At its core there is a Linux based OS. Funnily enough, there is an alarm clock with the device and snooze feature is also there. Maybe Sony has thought people will keep it by their bedside.
NSCN (K) kilonser (minister) Y. Wangtin Naga said he had conveyed Muivah’s message and “best regards” to chairman Khaplang and commander-in-chief Khole, who had reciprocated by conveying their regards to Muivah and NSCN (I-M) chairman Isak Chishi Swu. However, no date for the meeting has been fixed.Wangtin met Muivah at Camp Hebron, the NSCN (I-M) council headquarters located 35km from Dimapur, on April 10. “I felt most privileged to meet Uncle Th. Muivah and was happy to convey his message to chairman S.S. Khaplang and Gen. Khole,” he said.Wangtin told this correspondent today that the meeting would not mean that Khaplang and Khole join the NSCN (I-M) but that the leaders meet and reconcile during their lifetime to make the “Nagas one family”.Since the NSCN split in April 30, 1988, Muivah and Swu have never met their old comrades, Khaplang and Khole. In 1997, the American Baptist Church, USA, convened a meeting for Muivah, Swu and Khaplang in Atlanta but the two NSCN (I-M) leaders did not attend it. Last year, Swu spoke to Khaplang at least twice over phone.Wangtin said the two groups could not continue fighting. “We should show our sincerity towards reconciliation and unification of all Naga groups”. This unification, he added, could come about only when individual factions stop negotiating with the government of India. “Stop the political dialogue for the unification,” he urged the rival group.The NSCN (I-M) had entered into a ceasefire with the government in 1997, following which it began dialogues for a solution to the Naga problem. It has already held over 50 rounds of talks.Wangtin said collective opinion was essential to hammer out a solution to the Naga problem and no group should ignore others towards this end. The peace talks between the Centre and the NSCN (I-M) did not carry the voice of all sections of the Naga people and, therefore, could not be called Naga talks. “The talks should include all Naga people. We can’t be part of the NSCN (I-M) talks,” he said.Wangtin, who is considered to be a moderate leader, strongly objected to some people in the Khaplang faction harbouring bad blood towards Muivah.He said with all sections of the Nagas working towards reconciliation and unification, hatred and criticism should be stopped forthwith. He urged all to handle the situation with utmost restraint.Kughalu Mulatonu, envoy of the collective leadership of the NSCN (K), has been demanding that Muivah, 
a Tangkhul Naga who hails from Ukhrul district in Manipur, should leave Nagaland and go to that state. According to him, Muivah’s problem lies in Manipur and should not be messed up with the Naga issue.He said his group would never be part of the NSCN (I-M) talks. “The government of India must clearly understand that the NSCN (Khaplang) will have separate talks with them,” he added.Wangtin said Naga leaders should not expect others to bow down before them. “Everyone must have equal responsibility in ushering in peace,” he said.He urged the Naga factions not to return to the “fratricidal madness” of two years ago. “He who opposes reconciliation among Nagas is anti-Naga,” he said.
The assassination of ex-Pakistani PM Benazir Bhutto in 2007 could have been prevented and the subsequent inquiry was bungled, according to a UN report. It says insufficient security measures were taken by the government of then President Pervez Musharraf. And it concludes that the police deliberately failed to investigate the murder properly as they feared intelligence agency involvement. An aide to President Musharraf said the report was a "pack of lies". 'Failed profoundly' The independent UN commission of inquiry urges the authorities to launch a "credible, serious" investigation into Ms Bhutto's death at a rally in the city of Rawalpindi "and bring those responsible to justice". Its report says that the pervasive presence of Pakistan's powerful politicised intelligence agencies hampered the initial inquiry. "The commission believes that the failure of the police to investigate effectively Ms Bhutto's assassination was deliberate," the report says. "These officials, in part fearing intelligence agencies' involvement, were unsure of how vigorously they ought to pursue actions, which they knew, as professionals, they should have taken." The report criticises the intelligence agencies for conducting parallel investigations, gathering evidence which was only selectively shared with the police. Speaking at a news conference at the UN in New York, the head of the commission, Heraldo Munoz, said: "A range of government officials failed profoundly in their efforts, first to protect Ms Bhutto and second to investigate with vigour all those responsible for her murder, not only in the execution of the attack but also in its conception, planning and financing." One of President Musharraf's aides, Rashid Qureshi, told the BBC: "The report makes absurd statements. The inquiry was not well conducted." He insisted that President Musharraf was not in charge of Pakistani security at the time of the assassination as he had already resigned as head of the army. Ms Bhutto's Pakistan People's Party (PPP) - led by her widower, current President Asif Ali Zardari - said it was satisfied with the inquiry. Senior party leaders told the BBC that the findings were "exactly what they had been saying all along". And a presidential spokesman, Farhatullah Babar, said efforts to track down the perpetrators behind the assassination would be redoubled. Publication delay The commission was set up in July last year in response to a request from Pakistan. The three-member panel was mandated to investigate the facts and circumstances of Bhutto's death, not assign criminal responsibility. Its report had been due to be published at the end of March but was delayed for two weeks at the request of President Zardari, who had called for the investigation. The government said it wanted extra time to include input from Afghanistan, the US and Saudi Arabia, three countries that had apparently warned Ms Bhutto of a death threat. President Musharraf has declared that the late head of the Pakistani Taliban, Baitullah Mehsud, organised the assassination. Ms Bhutto herself had written that four suicide attack squads were after her, some linked to al-Qaeda. But she also accused a group of senior politicians and intelligence officials of plotting to kill her, and many of her followers blame elements of the military establishment and President Musharraf's government for her death.
