Iran set to "block" access to Google

http://j.mp/Vug9KT  (Guardian)

    "Many Iranians access blocked addresses with help from proxy servers
     or virtual private network (VPN) services and as many as 17 million
     Iranians have Facebook accounts, although the site remains blocked in
     Iran."

Note to Iranian leaders: Attempts to flog the Internet into submission
are unlikely to succeed.  Your citizens are already ahead of you.
