Who wants to bet it will be something really stupid like the Segway? Maybe they will announce a space shot with a man in orbit but in the images you can see the strings holding the ‘rockets’ to look like they are flying.

Oh boy. Major crackdown on dissidents coming. Probably going to test a nuke too.

He’s mad that Google did not display an appropriate graphic on 12th Imam day.
He’ll be switching to Bing now.

Or maybe they know Israel is about to come knocking ...That is the LAST thing they know. When IDF comes knocking ...they'll also be gone long before the little nut job knows what happened...

I thought it was pronounced Imaneedajohn?
To: All
This is an attempt to silence the Green movement ahead of expected mass protests tomorrow.
Dont expect anything to happen tomorrow beyond firey speeches and violent crackdowns on protests.
I think people expecting a war to start or a nuke test are going to find a sense of anticlimax.

Update from twitter
They are going home to home taking away everyone’s satellite dishes and confiscating mobile phones from people on the street.

..yeah, some sort of crack down is coming... dont want the natives to get the word out ... not good... Sounds like it. But, they need to do more than just cut off access to google servers. They've got to shut down all internet access, which is hard to do. It's tantamount to shutting down the whole phone system in and out of Iran.

Just what the tweets say, reading it off a phone.
It actually said home to home.

Sounds like it is only in Iran they are doing this from the article.

Not a good sign - do you think most are giving it all up willingly? Scary.
