BOL 1102: We're blocked in China! We made it!

Show summary: We get an email telling us our podcast RSS feed is now blocked in China after talkign abotu the dispute over World of Warcraft between two Chinese government departments. Really? THAT is what got us blocked. We also get a kick out of good old Grandpa Murdoch's latest ramblings. And happy birthday Firefox. You're vulnerable.
