    Basically, the experimental nuclear reactors in Iran got infected by a horrible virus called Stuxnet. It's so terrible that, in fact, all of their computers in that facility are down. Various intelligence agencies have estimated that they've been set back two years in their development. Read the whole article here: http://www.jpost.com/IranianThreat/News/Article.aspx?id=199475

    To me, this could feasibly mean one of two things depending on whether or not Iran really is building nuclear weapons:
    If they are:
    The world can now be at ease with Iran.

    If they aren't:
    We'd better hope the US didn't do this. If we did and it gets traced back to us, we're in huge trouble.


    On a personal note, whoever did this is an absolute programming genius. Let's see some of that programming quality in the game industry.

    Of course, it is also entirely possible that the whole thing is a huge lie to either a) Enable them to act as they wish without raising as much suspicion since everyone believes they can't currently act or b) To give them an excuse to take "revenge" if it later gets discovered it was "someone else" who caused it
