Iranian state media photoshops rally image (update - it's old news) #IranElection
Putting the image here as the original is hosted on an Iranian site and it's reasonable to assume it might be shut down. The story's on Reddit and is five hours old, but a glance at the site hosting the image shows that it is at least a week old, if the date stamp is correct. It's associated with this Farsi language blog entry from 10 June on Iranian photographer Mohammad Kheirkhah's website, which appears to link to a story on Kayhan News, a pro-government newspaper. The English language version of Kayhan News carries a story headlined "President Joins Sea of Celebrations:Election a Blow to World Oppressors", with a comment from Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that the election was like a "football match" played by two teams, adding the loser should just "let it go."
This is nothing new - it isn't the first time Iran has sucked at Photoshop.

WordPress 2.8 errors
Non self-hosted WordPress users look away now, this will be pretty dull.
If you host your own WordPress blog, you should by now have upgraded to version 2.8, 'Baker'. The admin interface is more polished than ever, making WordPress even more of a pleasure to use.
If however you have problems upgrading using WordPress's new automatic upgrade (usually in the form of a 500 server error), the advice on Bassmadrigal's blog should help - it did me. Essentially, find the file '.htaccess' in the root of your WordPress installation and add the line AddType x-mapp-php5 .php to it. Your .htaccess file should look something like this:
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
AddType x-mapp-php5 .php
NOTE that the extra line has been added outside of the block book-ended with # BEGIN WordPress and # END Wordpress - ensure you do this or WordPress will remove that rule next time it writes something to the .htaccess file.
Upload it back to your server in the same place (back up your old .htaccess file as a precaution) and try running the automatic upgrade again.
There have been reports of memory exhausted errors in WordPress 2.8 - this WordPress support forum has some useful information.
