DON’T-MISS TV| “Shame,” a powerful documentary at 7 p.m. Thursday on Showtime, tells the saga of Mukhtaran Mai, a Pakistani woman gang raped in 2002 on orders from her village as punishment for an alleged sexual indiscretion by her brother. Five men were found guilty in court; Mai used the settlement to establish the area’s first girls’ school and women’s crisis center. She has become an international symbol for women’s rights and a force against the system of feudal justice. Young Pakistani filmmaker Mohammed Ali Naqvi had access to Mai and family.|Joanne Ostrow

GADGET|The Motorola Q, Amp’d Edition features an updated Flash interface, and along with the features available on the regular model – ultrathin design, sharp display, full QWERTY keyboard and multimedia functionality – it adds access to the carrier’s TV and music services, and a revamped, hipper interface. Video playback was a bit choppy, and it was sluggish when accessing and downloading multimedia content. Overall, the new version of the Q brings a fresh look and content to the Windows Mobile smart phone. The price is not yet announced, but the original Motorola Q retails for about $300 before wireless carrier discounts.|CNet.com
