According to Wall Street Journal, the Iranian government plans to suspend Google Inc’s email service (gmail) in the country. We’re just a day away from the anniversary of the Islamic Republic (11th of february) when Teheran is to face carnival-like rallies and demonstrations but also protests against the government.
In the last few days, “iranians have reported widespread service disruptions to Internet and text messaging services, though mobile phones appeared to be operating normally Wednesday”. “Iran’s telecommunications agency announced what it described as a permanent suspension of Google Inc.’s email services, saying instead that a national email service for Iranian citizens would soon be rolled out”, Wall Street writes.
Google is already in conflict with China’s government after it threatened to withdraw from the country after a series of online attacks and official censorship.
According to Reuters, “there was no immediate comment from Tehran, where it was after midnight when the news broke. Opposition leaders have called on supporters to take to the streets on Thursday, raising the risk of renewed violence. The U.S. State Department could not confirm the report, but said any efforts to keep information from Iranians would fail”.

There are many changes that will come to Firefox in Lucid but one of them, put a sad smile on my face. According to Rick Spencer, Starting in Ubuntu’s Lucid Lynx release, Firefox’s default search engine will be switched from Google to Yahoo.
I am pursuing this change because Canonical has negotiated a revenue sharing deal with Yahoo! and this revenue will help Canonical to provide developers and resources to continue the open development of Ubuntu and the Ubuntu Platform. This change will help provide these resources as well as continuing to respect our user’s default search across Firefox.

A survey by analyst Craig Berger of FBR Capital Markets shows that Apple has reduced orders for 3G iPhone up to 40% for the last quarter of the year, compared with orders for the third quarter.
It is possible that the demand for the iPhone suffers because of the decrease in the entire world economy.
