Pakistan indicts 2 more in Bhutto's assassination

(AP) ? A Pakistani government prosecutor says a court has indicted two more suspects in the killing of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.

Zulfikar Ali says the two men, both police officers, were charged with failing to provide Bhutto with proper security and with destroying evidence.

Five other suspects already on trial in the case are members of the Pakistani Taliban. They will be given a new trial so they can be tried together with the new defendants.

The prosecutor says a judge read out the charges against all seven at a closed-door hearing Saturday in the garrison city of Rawalpindi, where Bhutto was killed.

Bhutto was killed Dec. 27, 2007, in a gun and suicide-bomb attack at a rally just weeks after returning home from years in self-imposed exile.

QUETTA, Pakistan (AP) ? Police say a suicide bomber targeting the country's Shiite minority has killed himself in a premature explosion in southwestern Pakistan.

Hamid Shakeel, deputy inspector general in Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province, says the Saturday incident took place on the outskirts of the city.

He says a man in his twenties was heading toward a Shiite mosque when his explosive-rigged suicide vest went off prematurely, a little short of his apparent target.

In recent years, al-Qaida-linked Sunni militant groups have targeted the country's Shiite minority in suicide bombings and in shootings. Baluchistan has recently been a center of this violence, with at least four major attacks against Shiites since May.

Beyonce Having A Baby Girl!

Beyonce has been keeping the sex of her unborn child a secret but has her secret gotten out? It certainly looks that way. The cat is out the bag, supposedly. Beyonce is having a baby girl, according to People magazine anyway. The mag claims to have a source that confirms that the singer and hubby Jay-Z will indeed be buying a lot of pink when their bundle of joy arrives in February. Apparently the magazine has sources that keep referring to the baby as ?she?, take that for what it is. Along with the magazine story there is the implications that Kelly Rowland made that her former Destiny Child band mate is having girl. While at an awards show the other night Rowlnad has this to say to Bang Showbiz I have no idea what I’m going to buy Beyonc? at the baby shower because Jay is going to buy that little girl every single thing possible. Yep it sure does seem like the ?Single Ladies? singer should be focusing on girl names, which I think is freaking awesome. I can just imagine a little mini Beyonce running around getting her groove on. Obviously we won?t know if there is [...]

Airline traveler uses Craigslist to track down laptop thief (Digital Trends)

Baggage_Claim

When?Ambre Boroughs checked her laptop bag before getting on a Southwest flight at the?Chicago Midway International Airport, she was likely unaware that many airlines strongly?recommend taking the laptop was a carry-on during the flight. Unfortunately, she was missing her brand new HP 9000 laptop after searching an empty laptop bag that came off the?conveyor belt in Charleston, South Carolina according to NBC Chicago. After asking a Southwest representative for help,?Boroughs was informed that the company wasn?t responsible for the loss of?checked computers. A further TSA investigation showed video footage of the laptop?still in the case when traveling through the security checkpoint.

hp_9000While somewhat demoralized,?Boroughs was determined to track down the laptop thief. After waking up the following morning,?Boroughs started searching the?Chicago section of Craigslist for the term ?HP 9000? and continued to refresh the search every 30 minutes. After approximately 12 hours, she located a post for a HP 9000 laptop that displayed evidence of her ownership.?Boroughs recognized a logo sticker on the laptop for a small punk rock group that?s based out of South Carolina which also happened to be tattooed on her wrist. She texted and called the person that created the post to find out if the laptop was still available and stumbled on the fact that this person had multiple models for sale.

Boroughs?immediately?alerted the?Chicago police about the laptop post. The police went to the location described in the post and arrested three people that had?eleven additional stolen laptops in their possession as well as a variety of portable?electronics.

APNewsBreak: Yellowstone spill to cost Exxon $135M

(AP) ? Exxon Mobil said Friday it expects to incur costs of about $135 million from an oil pipeline break beneath Montana's Yellowstone River that triggered a massive effort to limit damage to the scenic waterway.

The cost figure was released to The Associated Press. It is more than triple an earlier estimate and includes for the first time the expense of replacing the section of broken pipeline with a new one buried more deeply beneath the river.

The company's 12-inch Silvertip crude oil pipeline broke July 1 during severe flooding.

In the 56 minutes it took Exxon Mobil to seal off the line, an estimated 42,000 gallons of oil leaked into the river near Laurel. That fouled dozens of miles of riverbank, numerous islands and swaths of low-lying cropland with crude.

More than 1,000 workers were involved in the cleanup effort at its peak.

Work to remove the damaged pipeline began Monday and is expected to take several weeks.

An Exxon Mobil spokeswoman declined to offer a detailed breakdown of the company's costs and provided only a broad overview of expenses.

"This estimate includes costs for overall emergency response and cleanup efforts including personnel, equipment, landowner claims and projects associated with the restart of the pipeline such as the horizontal directional drill," company spokeswoman Claire Hassett said.

"Horizontal directional drill" refers to the process the company used to bore a new route for the pipeline dozens of feet beneath the riverbed. That move was mandated by federal pipeline regulators.

The original pipeline was buried only a few feet beneath the riverbed. State and federal officials have speculated that summer flooding scoured the riverbed and left the pipe exposed to damaging debris and the sheer force of the rushing river.

A federal lawsuit against Exxon Mobil is pending from landowners along the river who accuse the company of a "haphazard, sloppy" cleanup.

The lawsuit also claims the company failed to heed warnings from local officials who raised concerns about Silvertip months before the accident. The company denies the claims.

Up close and personal with HD SuperAMOLED

Android Central

Because we know some in the Android community (and elsewhere) like to get worked up over things like the PenTile matrix used Samsung's new HD SuperAMOLED displays, we decided to snap some close-ups of the tech in all its high-def (1280x800) glory on a shiny new Galaxy Note. If you're a regular around here, you'll know that the same technology is used on the Galaxy Nexus's 720p display too.

Take a look at the pics below -- we think it's safe to say you don't have anything to worry about when it comes to image quality. HD resolutions on a hand-held SuperAMOLED device look just as gorgeous as you'd expect, even when viewed up-close. The extra pixel density more than makes up for the fact that it's PenTile, not RGB.
