When you ban something you just make that much sweeter. Bahrain Ministry of Information has done just that by banning their own BahrainBlogs.org. Their version of Safat
I am sure this will be a big boost for blogging and freedom of speech in the island Kingdom.

Summer is finally over Fall has started!

Mahmood.tv has been blocked!. If you dont know Mahmood he is a prominent Bahraini blogger a good friend and for some reason the Bahrain Ministry of Information has blocked his website in Bahrain.
This has always been something we worry and joke about in our area, order but with this one I sense it will not simply pushed under the rug. They really dont know who they are messing with. This only makes his messages louder and strong and to more people.
Now everyone in Bahrain and outside will know about his blog his ideas and the injustices that occurring in Bahrain.
So spread his website to everyone you know make this known!
Seems some inspiring invidivudal decided to take a peak under the hood of the new iTunes 5.0 and found icons and images for an Apple video store. This could be related to that Morgan Freeman/Intel online video store that they were planning.
I am sure like their music store they will be shoving tons of DRM on those things to make sure I can’t play them on other computers. But if the price is right I won’t mind. Although there are rumors that NetFlix is going to be coming out with the same thing soon.
Like I stated earlier, tablets if the price is right I dont mind using it compared to the annoyances of BitTorrent at times (0 seeds), physician and it gives me the ability to watch shows like regular people, instead of dealing with the censorship in the Kuwait Cinemas, or Hawalli DVD stores.
I really dont know why the Ministry of Information censorship dept still exists. They lost, openly and publicly. We can get books, magazines, dvds uncensored via Aramex, we have circumvented their online censorship system. Satellites are on the top of every house in Kuwait giving them access to every type of channel available with all sorts of content and news.
It reminds me of those Japanese soldiers who after WW2 were still hiding out in the Pacific islands waiting for the Allies to attack, when the rest of the world just moved on.
