Hot on the heels of Pakistan’s blockade of Facebook due to caricatures of Prophet Muhammad comes the news that Pakistan has also blocked YouTube due to content that’s offensive to Islam.

While the Facebook ban in Pakistan was a direct result of agroup calling users to submit drawings of Prophet Muhammad, the YouTube blockade isn’t explained in detail. According to AP, Pakistan Telecommunications Authority simply cited “growing sacrilegious contents” as the reason for the ban.

The ban of Facebook and YouTube is likely to continue until representatives from both sites resolve the dispute with the Pakistani government in a way that “ensures religious harmony and respect.” Facebook representative said the usual way to resolve such issues, if the group in question doesn’t break its terms of service but is illegal in another country, is to restrict the group from being shown in that country.

However, the blockade seems to be much wider, as some of our readers, as well as reports on Twitter, point out that access to Flickr, Wikipedia and other sites has been restricted, too.

Apple’s impenetrable information fortress is crumbling. Afterseveral iPhone 4G leaks, another major update to one of its product has made its way to the public before Apple’s official announcement: an iPod Touch with a camera.

Tinhte.com, the same Vietnamese site that brought us a hands-on of an iPhone 4G prototype, now has a device that seems to be an iPod Touch prototype, manufactured by Foxconn, with 64GB of memory and a 2-megapixel camera. It also seems to be running some sort of testing software or a diagnostic utility.

Check out a video of the device below.

It is unclear whether this device is an older prototype that never made it to the market, or something entirely new; in any case, we’re quite certain that Apple never meant for it to be announced like this. Either Apple’s secret police is not working as well as it did before, or maybe it’s just getting harder for everyone to keep information private in the age of Facebook and Twitter.
