Washington DC Business results for bed bugs

Researching for bed bugs on the web I came a cross a pretty funny Google search result: Go to http://www.google.com and do a search for ["bed bugs" washington dc] - you get a list of a bunch of hotels and apartments in DC - I would love to know how the ranking is being done here.

Flickr censored in Singapore, Germany, Hong Kong and Korea

A recent update on flickr.com causes uproar: as of yesterday users based in Singapore, Germany, Hong Kong or Korea can't turn off their SafeSearch filter. This is effectively censoring flickr.com for users with Yahoo IDs from those countries.

In the last 24 hours a huge wave of outrage sloshed through flickrland. Hundreds of users started to vent their indignation about being censored by posting the picture above tagging it thinkflickrthink, commenting and posting their own protest pictures.
