Lifting The "Veil" of Secrecy.

This interesting story on today's News Wires:
____________________________________________________________________________

Jewelers in the west India city of Pune have requested state authorities permit a ban of sales to customers wearing veils, in response to a dozen robberies in the city.


Within the past two months, three women have been spotted by surveillance cameras stealing gold jewelry but authorities have been unable to make an arrest because their faces were obscured by traditional Muslim burqas.


The request has angered some in the local Muslim community, who feel unfairly profiled, but some Islamic clerics are defending the request, as reasonable and maintain that veils are worn by women of many different communities in India besides Muslim ones.


"Given the losses they suffered, they have every right to protect their valuables in their premises. They want to know who walks into their shop and that's not asking for much," said All-India Ulama Council secretary Maulana Zaheer Abbas Rizvi.

Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
