Iranian Supreme Leader's Antifiltering Fatwa Filtered for Mentioning "Antifiltering" [Iran]

The Iranian government's plan to install a Great Firewall like China's certainly didn't take long to backfire. According to reports, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei's fatwa against antifiltering tools was almost immediately auto-blocked by the government's own censoring system—because it included the word "antifiltering."

Full Feeds Service Discontinued

Unfortunatly the time has come for this scraper to come down (seemingly it may come as a shock to some that this is not provided by the BBC). I wrote this back in 2005 and have modified it a couple of times since mainly so that I could more easily consume RSS on the move. In short, I no longer use it, I find consuming live news is not actually something an RSS reader does very well and I face a constant battle against sites trying to use these feeds to monetize BBC content and failing to pay any attention to etag or last modified headers (hello palin-pedia.com et al). Please update your RSS subscription as the last remenants of this will be removed soon , the official BBC RSS feed you are looking for is: http://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/newsonline_uk_edition/world/rss.xml

Howard Stern Today Show Interview (Video)

America?s Got Talent judge Howard Stern was up to his usual antics this morning when he sat down with the Today show’s Matt Lauer for a little interview. If you missed the show this morning no worries I have the video right here for you to check out. Matt and Howard had quite the interesting little chat on the Today show today. As you may or may not know Stern is making the rounds to do publicity for America?s Got Talent, which premieres next week by the way. There was some joking around, of course, some inappropriate remarks, of course and some hugging. Oh yeah there was a male bonding moment for sure, well actually more like Howard in his own unique way having a bonding moment with Lauer. Obviously the two discussed AGT and what kind of judge the shock jock was going be. I don?t want to give too much away but he did diss the American Idol judges saying they never criticize anyone.. I don?t necessarily disagree with those remarks either. What was so entertaining about this interview was at one point Howard starting really ribbing Matt and let?s just say the Today co-host actually got embarrassed. [...]

iPad: Desperately Seeking Guest Mode

After you get over the worry that kids or grandmothers are going to drop your iPad and then accidentally trod on it or stab it with the leg of a walker, other problems quickly arise: For instance, what sort of iMessage or Reminder is going to pop up from your crass buddy and mortify your grandma? Which email from the friend who won't stop sending the joke emails is going show up in front of a kid?

Status Update

Screen Shot 2012-05-09 at 11.01.11 AMSo first things first: We're not being sold! Instead, we've just hired a bunch of brilliant writers and a new COO. Also, we have seen a resurgence of community support (with over a thousand people attending our NYC meetup last night, for example), are back at around 12% on the much-lauded?Techmeme leaderboard?and are gearing up for our NYC Disrupt conference. Our traffic is up?with regards to unique visits year over year and we are working on getting our pageviews up to pre-awful redesign levels.?More importantly, we cheer stuff like "TechCrunch fuck yeah" all the time in our company Yammer, which for us is a better indicator of progress than all of the above.
