I think the government Internet providers (MTNL etc.) have already blocked it. I cannot access github without VPN.
Can still access GitHub from BSNL.

What is the point? If this is true, why is it not on Flipkart itself?
I can confirm that i did get email from Flipkart with the same text.
I think they have not blogged about it so the anonymous user did not find a URL to link to.

That bail amount is insane. It would make sense if someone told me that it was a ploy to set a world record. It is a world record.
I am curious to know what parameters the court considered to set bail at this high an amount.
Not so insane when you consider the fraud he is accused of amounts to ~4 Billion USD. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sahara_India_Pariwar_investor_f...
Are their APIs and Sign in with Facebook, also down? That's pretty messed up for all the sites that rely on their Sign in.
Could not use Connect with Facebook in an iOS app. So their APIs seem to be down as well.

Freelance iOS Developer here. Just quit my job last month after nearly 4 years of full-time iOS Development to become independent.
btw: skype completely failed anyway on OSX since versions after 2.8.
Totally agree. I am still using Skype 2.8 on OS X Lion at work and on Mountain Lion at home.
I dont see the same ads on TechCrunch in India. My guess is Google is running an Adwords campaign in US to make people sign the petition. I have seen them run campaigns for chrome, gmail etc. before.
Edit: I do see the ads on www.Wired.com though.

Did anybody have any success with changing someone else's status with this? If so, please post.
I got the success message on site and restarted the app too on iPhone by killing it from the multitasking bar but my friend's status is still unchanged.
Makes me doubt it is a fraud site as BuddhaSource mentioned.

Great response. :)
I will be reminded of this incident every time i see the Zendesk logo when i submit a ticket on a site that uses them.
What an awful way to lose respect and damage credibility.
