Saul B. was among those who noticed a hacked boston.com home page this morning. The Guardian reports the Syrian hackers didn't actually break into boston.com's servers but instead attacked the domain registrar used by a "content distribution network" affected sites use to speed delivery of such things as images and ads.

WEEI's Kirk Minihane says they're all out to get him because of their agendas, not just because he said something really stupid about Erin Andrews. Minihane explains what he says is the Globe's agenda (they have four writers who get paid to appear on 'EEI's archenemy station); doesn't really lay out the Herald's or Olbermann's agendas, except to say they have them. Oh, yeah, and Deadspin is run by a bunch of hypocritical clickwhores.

Community Voices is soon to be no more, Dan Kennedy reports. He adds the Obnoxious Sports Fan is staying on, but will reveal his actual name. A Globe editor claimed to be shocked, shocked that somebody was blogging for the Globe anonymously.

The Globe made it kinda, sorta official today: boston.com is becoming their BuzzFeed/Huffington Post/Upworthy clone - people who want straight news should head immediately to bostonglobe.com.

Wicked Local Somerville reports a boston.com concert in Union Square could be off because alderman are objecting to sucking up the costs of police and DPW details - and portable toilets. The mayor, who supports the thing, notes the city picks up the police tab for events such as the annual Fluff festival; aldermen retort, yeah, but those are sponsored by the city, not by Budweiser and some media outlet from across the river.

UPDATE: Heard back from a boston.com editor, who says the photo "slipped through the cracks" and that they'll take care of it.
At least, that's what I'm assuming after seeing one of my photos show up on the front page of the Globe's Back Bay Your Town site without anybody from the Globe asking for permission. I realize there's fair use and I always appreciate links from giant media organizations (and I certainly do my share of linking to Globe stuff), but really, running an entire photo at near original size without asking first? Seems a bit much. Especially since somebody might now think the photo is copyright 2010 New York Times Co., when it's not.
See the duck photo below? Yeah, there's a reason it looks familar:
