Posted: 27 Dec 2009 05:04 PM PST

Rumor time! AT&T reportedly has a new solution to insufficient 3G network capacity in New York (or maybe just fraud in New York): it's refusing to sell iPhones online to customers with New York zip codes.

Meanwhile, a revolution unfolds in Iran

Andrew Sullivan: "The cries of freedom. They bring tears to my eyes and hope to my soul. The sound: it makes every human stop in their tracks and demand that this vicious oppression end."

Police in Iran shot at protesters today, killing at least 10, including the nephew of a prominent opposition leader. Today is the holiday of Ashura, a sacred observance in the Muslim calendar which honors the martyrdom of the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad. More: New York Times, BBC, and a statement of condemnation from the White House. Times Online: Is this Iran's Berlin Wall moment? I'm following Cyrus Farivar on Twitter for English-language pointers to updates, please share other links in the comments.
