The Times of India, quoting anonymous internet users, reports that the Myanmar (also known as Burma) gov’t has blocked access to Google web search and Gmail. [Thanks Manoj Nahar.]
This has been spotted before, and now it seems it’s being rolled out for everyone: a rating system on Google Video. To the right-hand side of videos, you can now choose poor, below average, average, above average, and excellent, from 1 to 5 stars (this is consistent with previous rating systems on Google Groups on Google Answers).
Google Video already has a Top 100 list – possibly, those were based on traffic so far – but with ratings they’ve got a new parameter to filter hot videos. Right now, videos Google lists under “popular” are not necessarily rated well (sometimes, they only have an average of 1 star).

Update: Actually, the also added labels, and comments to videos. [Thanks Pacificdave, Ken.]
