Google have followed through on their plan to stop censoring their services in China. So earlier today we stopped censoring our search services—Google Search, Google News, and Google Images—on Google.cn. Users visiting Google.cn are now being redirected to Google.com.hk, where we are offering uncensored search in simplified Chinese, specifically designed for users in mainland China and delivered via our servers in Hong Kong.

Gamepron report on a (possibly disturbing photo) game-rage attack where someone was apparently stabbed in the head for cheating in a game.

He's apparently ok.. ish.

There's not a lot else going on out there today, so in the meantime check out this forehead-smackingly simple cable-tidying idea:
