IMDB.com access in China

Posted on 06:12 by Unknown
Category: Tech Today
 
For the last two years or so, I haven't had much luck accessing IMDB.com in Shanghai due to the Great Firewall. Yesterday, however, I stumbled on an IMDB.com link and it suddenly pulled up. Yeah, I know. Big hairy deal, right? All the pages were now accessible when previously Chinese censors inexplicably prevented access to the popular movie site. Now I can reread all the trivia about Arnold's old Conan movies and more recent movies like Star Trek: Into the Darkness. Hopefully, even the IMDB app will now work and access is permanent (I have no idea when they unblocked it).



 
 All I need now is access to Blogger.com. Let the wall fall!
