Thousands of mourners have attended the funeral of a Pakistani politician who was stabbed in London in September in a killing that set off rioting in his hometown of Karachi. Imran Farooq, who lived in self-imposed exile after fleeing a crackdown on his party in 1992, was killed outside his London home. No one claimed responsibility, and his wife, Shumaila Imran, has appealed for help to solve the case. Authorities in London are still investigating. The body of the 50-year-old politician was flown home on Saturday and his funeral was held at a public park in Karachi, in the south of Pakistan. TV footage showed a large crowd at the…

We’re finding it hard to hold back our enthusiasm for Dell’s Windows Phone 7 slider , but come launch day the 4.1-inch Venue Pro may be a tricky one to find — you’ll need to line up at one of only seven Microsoft retail stores on November 8th ( a likely date ) if this allegedly leaked document is right. If you’re willing to wait until November 15th, however, there’s also Dell itself, which will apparently double as the only place you’ll be able to go to get any support for the T-Mobile device.

Apparently that's what the Associated Press's Liz Sidoti (pictured at the top right at this post's home page tease) wants us to believe, as she ended her borderline bitter take on the origins of Congressional Republicans' successful electoral comeback and takeover of the House of Representatives four days ago with this sentence: Ten months later (after Scott Brown's U.S. Senate race victory in Massachusetts — Ed.) , victorious Republicans met to plan their transition to power in the House – just as it was announced that the economy created 151,000 jobs. As if one good jobs-added number — even with the unemployment rate stuck at 9.6% — proves that the economic recovery is finally in high gear. Zheesh. read more
