Pakistan has unblocked popular social networking site Facebook today, after two weeks of banning access.

The country will continue to block any individual pages that contain "blasphemous" content, however, which mostly means any page that has an image of the Islamic prophet Muhammad.

The ban went into effect earlier in the month when an online competition started that invited Facebook users to submit drawings of Muhammad. Any image, satirical or not, is considered blasphemous.

Pakistan also censored YouTube and Wikipedia along with over 50 other sites, but most have been unblocked in the past week.

Knowledgeable users worked around the bans at first by using proxy sites with foreign proxies, but officials then blocked all proxy sites as well.

This weekend, Bangladesh also banned Facebook, but said it would only lift the block when all offending material was taken down.

Apple has announced the sale of 2 million iPad tablets as of today, a little under a month since the company announced the sale of the 1 millionth unit.

The tablet launched in early April in the United States and the company began selling the device in Australia, Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Spain, Switzerland and the UK this past weekend, where excitement reached a fervor.

Says Apple CEO Steve Jobs via press release: "Customers around the world are experiencing the magic of iPad, and seem to be loving it as much as we do. We appreciate their patience, and are working hard to build enough iPads for everyone."

The iPad saw 450,000 sales on launch day, and was touted as Apple's most successful product launch ever.

Jobs notes that there are already 5000 iPad-only apps in the App Store, with 200,000 created for the iPhone/iPod Touch additionally available.
