Ever wondered what Saudi Arabian Google looked like?




and this is the lovely screen that comes up when I try to look at images on Flickr!





I'm probably paying for Sheik someone's international phone calls as we speak.

  2. the default homepage is google.com, which automatically flips to google.com.sa when it loads. I can manually change it to google.co.uk, but the issue (using Flickr as an example) is that if I try to look at a pic it brings up the "blocked" screen, which to me suggests that all my traffic is for some reason routing through Riyadh or somewhere equally exotic and that people are going to come and chop off my hands and poke out my eyes for wanting to look at pictures of boobies.

    I thought you said, and I quote: "just to state/deny the obvious, I didn't get it from looking at porn."


    Hmmmmmm.

  4. I didn't. But that's not to say I don't like the odd swatch at some puppies on occasion. Only worry now is that eyes are watching me (or worse still, I can't even get through to them!)
