With Excuse !! معزرت کے ساتھ

معزرت کے ساتھ۔ ۔ ۔ اگر آج کل کے لڑکوں سے سوال کیا جائے کہ آپ کس قسم کی لڑکی سے شادی کرنا پسند کرو گے ؟ تو فورا با پردہ لڑکی شریف لڑکی کا نام لیا جائے گا ! بہت اچھی بات ہے کہ آپ کو ایک پاکیزہ لڑکی چاہئے جو کل کو آپ کے بچوں کی ماں بنے اور انکی اچھی اخلاقی ، دینی اور دنیاوی تربیت کر سکے ! مگر سوال یہ ہے کہ ایسا تب ہی ممکن ہے جب آپ دوسروں کی ماں بہنوں کو عزت دیں ، ان پر لائن نہ ماریں ، ان کو گندی ن ظر سے نہ دیکھیں پلیز اب ایک بات جو میں کہنے جا رہا ہوں ، شائد بہت سوں کو اچھی نہ لگے کیونکہ بات بہت کڑوی ہے مگر ہے سو فیصد سچ ! یہ ان لوگوں کے لئے ہے جو عورت ذات کی عزت نہیں کرتے ، اس کو صرف دل بہلانے کا ایک کھلونا سمجھتے ہیں ان سے سوال ہے کہ اگر آپ کسی کی بہن، بیٹی کا تذکره اپنے دوستوں میں بیٹھہ کر گھٹیا الفاظ میں کرو گے اس پر " چکنی یا آئیٹم یا بچی " کہہ کر تبصرہ کرو گے ، تو ذرا سوچو کہ آپ کا ہی کوئی دوست اگر آپ کی بہن یا بیٹی پر ایسا تبصرہ کرے تو کیسے آپ کے تن بدن میں آگ لگ جائے گی ! اور آپ مارنے مرنے پر تل جاؤ گے ! کیا یہ کھلی منافقت نہیں ؟؟ ارے جب آپ کو چھوٹ ہے کسی کی بہن بیٹی کو میلی نظر سے دیکھنے کی تو آپ کے دوست کو کیوں نہیں ؟؟ اگر آپ کی بہن آپ کی عزت ہے تو جس کو آپ ورغلا رہے ہو ، کیا وہ کسی کی عزت نہیں ؟؟ Date مارنے اور اپنی گندی ہوس کی تسکین کے لئے آپ کو "بچی " چاہئے مگر شادی کے لئے پاکیزہ لڑکی کیوں ؟؟ سوچئے گا ضرور پلیز ، شائد کہ تیرے دل میں اتر جائے میری بات ! آپ دوسروں کی بیٹیوں کو پاکیزہ رہنے دیں تو آپ کو بھی پاکیزہ بیوی ضرور ملے گی ان شاء الله بات اتنی مشکل نہیں جس پر عمل نہ ہو سکے !!! اگر آپ اپنے لئے ایک نیک بیوی اور نیک بیٹی کی کی آرزو رکھتے ہو تو دوسروں کی ماؤں ، بہنوں اور بیٹیوں کو بھی عزت دینا سیکھو کیونکہ قران پاک میں ہے الخَبيثٰتُ لِلخَبيثينَ وَالخَبيثونَ لِلخَبيثٰتِ ۖ وَالطَّيِّبٰتُ لِلطَّيِّبينَ وَالطَّيِّبونَ لِلطَّيِّبٰتِ ۚ ﴿٢٦﴾ سورة النور ناپاک عورتیں ناپاک مردوں کے لئے ہیں اور ناپاک مرد ناپاک عورتوں کے لئے ہیں۔ اور پاکیزہ عورتیں پاکیزہ مردوں کے لئے ہیں اور پاکیزہ مرد پاکیزہ عورتوں کے لئے ہیں۔ خود بھی پڑھیں اور دوستوں کو بھی شیئر کریں

Pakistan Stands on $67 billion Dept

Pakistan Stands on $67 billion Dept,97 billion dollars in Swiss Banks,Rs8.5 trillion (US $94 billion) in corruption.
 
BY:Shoaib Habib Memon
 
 
The USA is a vast country with huge resources, but it has a mounting debt too that has to be repaid. The total national debt of the US stands at more than $15 trillion. This loan works out to be $49,762 for every man, woman and child in the US. It owes to China $1.3 trillion.
 
There’re various reasons for the accumulation of this loan, among which, Bush’s policies, the federal government’s spending spree and paying for two wars on borrowed money, stand out prominently. But, despite this loan, it’s also advancing aid to various countries. One fails to understand as to how it’s managing all this?
 
It looks as if we, in Pakistan, are also toeing the US line. Our total external debt has swelled to around $67 billion. This is over and above the huge internal debt. We’re printing currency notes to the tune of Rs1.5 to 3 billion daily. Every Pakistani man, woman and child is indebted to an amount of Rs 61,000 each. It appears that this loan will keep rising till the time the next general elections take place. One fails to understand as to where all this money has gone and how this debt is going to be repaid.
 
 
The value of Pakistani rupee has fast eroded during the last four-and-a- half years, and will soon touch Rs100 to a dollar.
 
Therefore Poverty has brought Pakistan face to face with a reality that it will find hard to accept: every third Pakistani is caught in the ‘poor’ bracket i.e. some 58.7 million out of a total population of 180 million subsist below the poverty line. This includes more than half the population in the forever remote Balochistan, 33 per cent in Sindh, 32 per cent in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and 19 per cent in Punjab. These are daunting figures. But they are much needed for planning, especially when the government appears too embarrassed to release statistics related to poverty.
 
A Study identifies the 20 poorest districts, 16 of which exist in Balochistan that has been long agitating for attention. There are no marks for guessing that the other four poorest districts are also located away from the train of progress, in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The exercise doesn’t identify the causes behind this continued and unfortunate disparity, but the basic factor responsible for the situation is not very difficult to list. The primary reason is the lack of proper, meaningful and non-discriminatory representation for all regions in decision-making. Those who are able to some extent participate in the running of affairs do manage to secure a better deal. Others are denied participation, and democracy for them remains an illusion. The first resource they are looking for is the space from where they can speak and be heard. This is the most essential prerequisite to progress.
 
 Sametime if We Look Statment of Director Swiss Bank said that Pakistan has 97 billion dollars in Swiss Banks.

Director Swiss Bank said  on Sep 2011 that ‘Pakistanis are poor but Pakistan isn’t a poor country.’ He added that 97 billion dollars of Pakistan is deposited in respective bank and if this money would be utilized for the welfare of Pakistan and its people then Pakistan can make tax less budget for 30 years, can create 60 million jobs, can carpet four lanes road from any village to Islamabad, endless power supply to five hundred social projects, every citizen can get 20000 rupees salary for the next 60 years and there is no need to see IMF and any World Bank for loans.
 
According to calculations performed by Transparency International Pakistan has lost an unbelievably high amount, more than Rs8.5 trillion (US $94 billion), in corruption, tax evasion and bad governance during the last four years . An adviser of Transparency International acknowledged that "Pakistan does not need even a single penny from the outside world if it effectively checks the menace of corruption and ensures good governance".The Transparency International also noted that the four years of the present regime had been the worst in terms of corruption and bad governance in the country’s history.
 
Pakistan is a Passing in Difficult Condition due to Terrorism . Its economy is facing fluctuations now a day. At the time of independence Pakistan has very low resources and capital, so the processes of progress were very slow. Unfortunately the politicians of Pakistan were all not well aware of modern global system and the progress processes and the needs of country. Due to bad policies today Pakistan is facing a lot of problems. The continuous failure of policies leads the people of country to miserable conditions. The major problem in the country is poverty which is becoming the cause of crime and social disorder.

WORLD RECORD


King FAISAL !! Late (شاہ فیصل مرحوم)



 
بسم اللہ الرحمٰن الرحیم
السلام و علیکم و رحمۃ اللہ و برکاتہ

کسنجر کا جہاز
اور شاہ فیصل مرحوم کی دو  رکعتیں
عربوں کی اسرائیل کے ساتھ 1973  میں لڑی گئی مشہورِ زمانہ جنگ یوم کپور  یا  جنگِ اکتوبر  میں امریکہ اگر پسِ پردہ اسرئیل کی امداد نہ کرتا تو مؤرخین لکھتے  ہیں کہ فلسطین کا مسئلہ حل ہو چکا ہوتا۔ فخر کی بات یہ ہے کہ اس جنگ میں پاکستان نے بھی مقدور بھر حصہ لے کر تاریخ میں پنا نام امر کیا۔ اس جنگ کا مختصر احوال ویکیپیڈیا پر موجود ہے
اس جنگ کے دوران شاہ  فیصل مرحوم نے ایک دلیرانہ فیصلہ کرتے ہوئے تیل کی پیداوار کو بند کردیا تھا، ان کا یہ مشہور قول (ہمارے آباء و اجداد  نے اپنی زندگیاں  دودھ اور کھجور کھا کر گزار ی تھیں، آج اگر ہمیں بھی ایسا کرنا پڑ جاتا ہے تو کوئی فرق نہیں پڑے گا) اپنی ایک علیٰحدہ ہی تاریخ رکھتا ہے۔
شاہ  فیصل مرحوم  کا  یہ فیصلہ امریکہ کیلئے ایک کاری ضرب کی حیثیت رکھتا تھا جس کو تبدیل کرنے کی ہر امریکی تدبیر ناکام ہو رہی تھی۔  امریکی وزیرِ خارجہ کسنجر  نےشاہ  فیصل مرحوم  سے 1973 میں اسی سلسے  میں جدہ میں ایک ملاقات کی۔
تیل کی پیداوار کو دوبارہ شروع کرنے میں قائل کرنے کی ناکامی کے بعد کسنجر نے گفتگو کو  ایک جذباتی موڑ دینے کی  کوشش کرتے ہوئے شاہ  فیصل مرحوم سے کہا کہ  اے معزز بادشاہ، میرا جہاز ایندھن نہ ہونے کے سبب  آپ کے ہوائی اڈے پر ناکارہ کھڑا ہے، کیا آپ اس میں تیل بھرنے کاحکم  نہیں دیں گے ؟
دیکھ لیجئےکہ میں آپ کو  اسکی ہر قسم کی قیمت ادا کرنے کیلئے تیار بیٹھا ہوں۔
کسنجر خود لکھتا ہے کہ میری اس بات سے شاہ فیصل  مرحوم کے چہرے پر کسی قسم کی کوئی مسکراہٹ تک نہ آئی، سوائے اس کے کہ انہوں نے اپنا  جذبات سے عاری چہرہ اٹھا کر میری طرف دیکھا اور کہا،
میں ایک عمر رسیدہ اور ضعیف آدمی ہوں، میری ایک ہی خواہش ہے کہ مرنے سے پہلے مسجد اقصی میں نماز کی دو رکعتیں پڑھ لوں، میری اس خواہش کو پورا کرنے میں تم میری کوئی مدد کر سکتے ہو؟

To have and to hold ... for 87 years!


To have and to hold ... for 87 years! World's longest married couple share their secrets to living happily ever after

  • Karam, 107, and Katari, 100, have been married for 87 years
  • They have 8 children and 28 grandchildren together
  • The marriage is almost 5 years longer than current Guinness record holders
  • Couple say that laughter and looking after each other is key to marriage
By Bianca London 

 1 In an age where few marriages endure the test of time, 107-year-old Karam and his wife Katari Chand, 100, are proof that happy ever after does exist.
The couple, who have eight children and twenty eight grandchildren together, have lived in wedded bliss for 87 years making them the world's longest married couple.
The pair say that the key to success is looking after each other in every way possible: ‘My trick is to make Katari laugh. I like to tell jokes and make her smile. Being funny is my way of being romantic.' says Karam.

‘I have been told laughing makes you live longer... my wife is still alive so it must have worked! I love her so much and I want to spend another 80 years by her side,’ said Karam.
From romantic meals to sharing jokes, the couple, who hail from Punjab, India and now live in Bradford ensure that they do little things for each other to keep the romance alive.
    Katari told romantic networking site Zoosk.co.uk: ‘When I was young I used to make him a nice fresh meal every night. We are vegetarian so I brought lots of fresh vegetables and made sure he was eating healthy food.
    ‘Health is very important and I wanted to look after him so we could grow old together. Some would say it has worked!

    ‘Oh and how can I forget, I always save a bit of my chapatti for him. Just a little gesture that he appreciated a lot and it kept me a bit slimmer.’
    Karam, who likes to do a word search every day to keep his mind alive, believes that spending plenty of time together has helped their marriage last.
    ‘We have not spent any long span apart in over 50 years. We go everywhere together – up until a few years ago we went to India every year with the family and for all family weddings we make sure we get to stay together,’ he said.
    They maintain that the key to standing the test of time in marriage is looking after each other in every way possible

    Their marriage has lasted nearly five years longer than that of the current Guinness World Record holders and the couple are in the process of getting confirmation from the company that they will be named as the new record holders.
    Many modern day romances fail to stand the test of time but longevity and experience makes Karam the best man to go to for relationship advice.
    ‘In the past people used to listen. Now I don’t think people take the time to listen to each other properly. People seem too busy today with work, TV and other stuff going on around them.
    ‘Relationships are about understanding one another and listening to concerns and problems, so my advice to men and women is to listen to their partners, show interest in what they are saying and help them overcome any worries or problems they are going through,’ he said.
    Karam and Katari Chand received a certificate of achievement from dating site Zoosk

    The couple love to make each other laugh and will have a joint birthday celebration in November

    And their son Satpaul, who is extremely proud of his parent’s relationship, added his own words of wisdom.
    He said: ‘One piece of advice that I can’t stress enough is to keep your parents very close. We live with them in Bradford and look after them because we want to help them live as long as they can together.
    ‘I don’t want to see their love story end. I truly believe that by helping them over the last few years we have enabled them to enjoy their time together with no stress and being looked after. 
    'Also, you have to value them while they are here because you never know how long they are going to be around for.’
    The still loved-up couple, who met through an arranged marriage, are having a big party in November to celebrate Karam’s 107th and Katari’s 100th birthday. The Mayor of Bradford as well as lots of community members will be joining in the festivities.

    THEIR TOP FIVE TIPS TO KEEPING THE ROMANCE ALIVE

    • Always be faithful: always be faithful to one another. When you get married you commit to devoting your life to that person and even when the times are tough, don’t believe that the grass is greener...because it isn’t.
    • Look after each other as best you can: if you want to grow old with your partner you have to make sure you always look after each other in every shape and form. Whether it is making a meal, holding your partners hand when crossing the road or being a shoulder to cry on when something goes wrong.
    • Be tolerant of each other: everyone has bad habits or annoying traits. Whether it is leaving a towel on the floor or listening to the radio too loudly, you have to tolerate each other and realise that no one is perfect. Of course we irritate each other occasionally, but if you want to last nearly 90 years, learn to love bad habits or it won’t work.
    • Listen to each other: the most important thing in a relationship is to listen. People don’t listen anymore because they are too busy with work and TV. Listen to your loved ones’ problems and concerns every day, because then you can help them overcome them and be happier. Also, it brings you closer together because you are the first port of call for each other when there is an issue in your life.
    • Follow social and religious values: always make sure you follow social or religious values. Respect, care, cherish, love and value your partner – always treat them how you would want to be treated yourself.

    Attack on Malala Yousafzai

    Attack on Malala Yousafzai  daughter of the nation


    Lahore

    Punjab Chief Minister Shahbaz Sharif on Wednesday said that cowardly attack on daughter of the nation, Malala Yousafzai, was highly reprehensible and condemnable and the whole nation was grieved over the sad incident and was praying for her early recovery.

    Talking to media representatives on his return from his visit to Turkey, Britain and Germany at Allama Iqbal International Airport here, the chief minister said that the Punjab government was prepared to bear all expenditures on medical treatment of Malala Yousafzai, both inside and outside the country. He said those who had fired upon Malala could not even be called human beings, not to talking of being called Muslims.

    The CM also telephoned Mahmood-ul-Hassan, the brother of the ambassador of peace and education, Malala Yousafzai, to inquire about the latter’s health. He prayed for the early recovery of Malala and said that the Punjab government was ready to bear all expenditure to ensure the best possible medical treatment for her. If needed, he added, the government was also prepared to send her abroad and bear the expenses as well.

    Expressing his sympathy with the brother of Malala, Shahbaz Sharif said that the whole nation was praying for her early recovery.

    Earlier, when the CM returned to Lahore from his foreign tour, he became emotional when he talked to the media representatives about cowardly attack on Malala at the airport. The face of the CM visibly reflected the extent of sadness and grief over the tragic incident.

    The chief minister paid glowing tributes to the services of Malala Yousafzai for promotion of peace and eradication of extremism, despite her young age. He said that the cruel persons had tried to snatch from us the voice of the daughter of the nation. He said that Malala would soon recover from her injuries, with the blessings Allah Almighty and be again amongst us again.

    HRCP: The Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP) has condemned as ‘exceptionally cowardly’ a Taliban attack on the young rights activist Malala Yousafzai, hoped for her early recovery and appreciated the urgent attention the government has given to her medical treatment.

    In a statement, the Commission said: “HRCP expresses solidarity with Malala Yousafzai and her family and hopes that she will come out of this trial soon. The HRCP also appreciates the urgency and attention Malala received from the government and the medical team treating her.

    It defies the belief that anyone will be so brutal and so exceptionally cowardly to attack an unprotected child who is a symbol of innocence and is threatened that if she recovers they will target her again. Words cannot begin to express the condemnation that this merits. This is a new low even for the Taliban. Religious scholars and clerics, parading themselves in the garb of politicians, must reflect on what they have to say to this and indeed what they are prepared to do to prevent this madness that cannot be overly condemned. It is also a wakeup call, if another one was needed, for those pining to appease the extremists and going out of their way to advocate making peace with the Taliban.

    The attack should only strengthen the resolve of Malala, civil society, all conscious citizens and the security forces, as it exposes again the barbarism and the utter absence of humanity in the ruthless demons that they are trying to expose and overcome. They should show through words and actions their contempt for the blind hate and the penchant for senseless killings that the Taliban stand for.”

    Civil society: Members of the civil society, media and other walks of life met in Lahore on Tuesday and passed a resolution, condemning the attack on Malala Yousafzai.

    According to the contents of the resolution, “We, members of the civil society, media and other walks of life strongly condemn and express our grief and anger on the murderous attack on Malala Yousafzai and consider it as an attack on the entire nation and humanity. Banned Tehreek-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) has accepted the responsibility for the attack. Through this attack, they have delivered a message that they will never accept democratic values, freedom of expression and rights of women, especially their right to education. Their spokesman has also said that they will attack Malala Yousafzai again if she survives. We, as citizens, protest that no clear stance has been taken against terrorism. This has not only affected our way of life but also the future of the entire nation and its people are no longer secure. This monster (terrorism) is destroying our society.

    We demand the federal and provincial governments and state institutions to take some decisive action against terrorists.

    Awami Party: Activists of the Awami Party along with other civil society organisations and people from different walks of life took to streets on Wednesday to condemn the barbaric assault on a14-year-old girl of Swat valley, Malala by Talibans.

    The demonstration followed by a candlelit vigil was staged outside the Lahore Press Club in which a large number of people participated. The civil society activists, led by members including Syeda Deep, Farooq Tariq, Shazia Khan and Imtiaz Khan, prayed for the health, early recovery and long life of Malala Yousafzai.

    Two anti-war US activists, including Joe Lombardo and Judy Bellow as well as a large number of students of Institute for Secular Studies, also participated in the demonstration and vigil.

    Speakers in their respective addresses stated that things could not go on as usual in Pakistan where terrorism and violence had become the order of the day and 40,000 lives had been lost in the last 10 years alone. They demanded a change in the direction which required a change in the state policy at the highest level following by the strict implementation.

    They argued that terrorism could not be defeated in the country till the State and Pakistan-Army ended its policy of differentiating between various Taliban, Jihadi and Sectarian groups. They also stated that there were no good vs bad Taliban, good vs bad Jihadis.

    PTI: Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaaf senior leader Khursheed Mahmood Kasuri strongly condemned the incident of cowardly attack on Malala Yousafzai in which she along with other three girls were injured. In a statement on Wednesday, Khursheed Mahmood Kasuri paid glowing tribute to the services of Malala Yousafzai for the promotion of peace.

    iPad mini is almost here


    iPad mini is almost here: What you need to know

    Courtesy taken from: By Marc Saltzman | Digital Crave – Fri, Oct 5, 2012

    If you're experiencing a bit of déjà vu from the hype over a new Apple product, it's completely understandable.
    After all, we just got through another iPhonelaunch, with an incredible amount of online buzz, industry speculation, insider info and leaked photos leading up to it.
    So here we go again.
    The rabid tech community has now turned its sights to what seems to be an imminent announcement by Apple for a smaller version of its best-selling iPad tablet.
    Dubbed by many as the iPad Mini, iPad Air or iPad mini (if Apple takes a page from its iPod touchnano and shuffle line), this compact and less expensive ebook-reader-on-steroids would go up against the likes of Amazon's Kindle Fire HD, Google's Nexus 7B&N Nook HD+ and the Kobo Vox.
    While Apple hasn't commented on any of this, the following is a collection of the rumors swirling about the iPad's little brother, said to debut within a few weeks. And hey, if it's true, Samsung will need to quickly shoot a new TV commercial that pokes fun at all the hype.
    What's the date?
    According to a "major Apple investor" who was told the goods from multiple sources, the iPad mini (what we'll call it for now) will be unveiled on Wednesday, Oct. 17, with a launch day of Friday Nov. 2 — nearly two months ahead of the all-important holiday gift-giving season, says Fortune.
    Journalists and analysts can expect email invitations on Oct. 10.
    It should be noted back in August, All Things Digital predicted we'd be seeing a special press event in October to debut a smaller version of the iPad.

    iPad mini specs
    Rumors of a 7.85-inch LCD display have surfaced for some time now, including a recent report fromWall Street Journal that says Apple Inc.'s Asian component suppliers have already begun "mass production" of the tablet. Smaller than the 9.7-inch iPad (measured diagonally), the new iPad mini would have a liquid-crystal display with a 2,048-by-1,536 pixel resolution.
    To keep costs down, the screen would not boast the same "Retina" display as seen with the new (third-generation) iPad; the word refers to the fact the human eye can't distinguish the millions of individual dots (pixels) that make up the text and images.
    In its coverage of the Apple and Samsung court trial in early August, ClNet.com published info about an internal email in which high-level Apple executives discussed interest in a smaller version of the iPad (back in January 2011). An accompanying article talked further of a smaller iPad that would likely be around 7 or more inches.
    Leaked photos
    Courtesy of UkrainianiPhone, photos of the iPad mini debuted in early October, shown in production in a Chinese factory, says the site. From what we can see in the four photos, the tablet will have Wi-Fi and a nano SIM tray for cellular connectivity (perhaps for a pricier model); an 8-pin "Lightning" connector found in the new iPhone 5 opposed to the older 30-pin connector; and a microphone jack in the same upperleft corner as current iPads. Interesting, the narrow bezel looks similar to other "leaked photos" of the iPad mini over the past couple of months, including images published by French site NWE (Nowhere Else).
    Images of the white and black iPad mini also show an aluminum back like the iPhone 5, volume buttons on the right side of the tablet, a switch (to mute the volume or lock orientation, presumably), rear-facing camera (and perhaps a front-facing one, too, though it's hard to tell) and two speaker grilles at the bottom, also like iPhone 5.
    Photo credit: UkrainianiPhone
    Where is it being produced?
    Leaked info and photos from Taiwan over the past two months, including ones that made the homepage of Chinese website BoLoPad, strongly hint at production at both Foxconn and Pegatron. According to an Engadget story, Taiwan's Economic Daily News says Pegatron is getting most of the business — up to 60 percent of the production orders.
    But we're also hearing about production in South America, too.
    Specifically, Japanese Apple blog Macotakara says the production of a smaller iPad is already underway in a "Brazilian factory," citing an anonymous source. It appears the factory is also part of China's Foxconn.
    Some suggest the move to Brazil is Apple's way of addressing questionable working conditions in Taiwan that have sparked a spate of suicides over the years and a riot that left more than 40 injured. Due to worldwide pressure, Foxconn has increased wages, reduced the number of working hours and has made other concessions to improve its image.
    Back on August 21, DigiTimes -- a publication that focuses on the supply side of the electronics, semiconductor, computer and communications industries -- reported Apple was about to ramp up production of a miniature iPad, as many as 4 million units per month, ahead of an early November launch.
    Photo credit: NWE
    Cost
    Apple sees a smaller iPad ideal for those who don't want to tote around a near 10-inch tablet, but it's also to provide a less expensive alternative to a $499 new iPad or $399 iPad 2 — and with less horsepower under the hood.
    The iPad mini is expected to retail for around $249, which is a little more than the $200-odd Android-based tabs, such as the Kindle Fire HD and Google Nexus 7, but Apple at least brings iTunes and iCloud integration to the table.
    IHS iSuppli analyst Rhoda Alexander tells C|Net.com how low Apple's price goes depends on how motivated the company is to "crush the competition." Alexander says a $249 entry-level iPad -- presumably with 8GB or 16GB of memory, and Wi-Fi only — should be enough to stave off competition, but a 4G LTE model for $299 or $349 might be too out of reach.
    Yahoo! readers, would you buy an iPad mini? Or are you perfectly happy with your existing iPad or other tablet? Or have you passed on the entire tablet or ebook phenomenon altogether?

    US man dies minutes after winning cockroach-eating contest


    London, Oct 9 (ANI): A man from Florida, who won a cockroach-eating contest, died moments after he downed off more live bugs than around 30 other contestants.
