Is the picture above Nikon’s D800 DSLR? Lets hope so as the camera has a rumored 36 megapixel sensor that can capture a 7360 x 4912 resolution. Reportedly the camera has an iso range up to 25,600 with a 51-point AF system. Also the camera can shoot 1080p video at 30 frames per second and 720p for 60 frames per second. The price tag is guessed to be somewhere around $3,900.

The Protect IP Act was just introduced to congress. What does the Protect IP Act do? Well it lets the government block the web address of sites that do peer-to-peer sharing. However if you type in the web sites IP address you can still visit the site. The act makes sites responsible for what is uploaded to their site, allowing sites like YouTube to be shut down if not every video is screened for any kind of copyrighted content. If the Protect IP Act passes if you put a copyrighted song on YouTube you face going to jail for 5 years. Protect IP also lets corporations and the government cut all funds to infringing site for just even a link to an “offending” site. They do this by cancelling advertisement and payment services to the offending site. This will let corporations block any start-up company by claiming they are infringing or not doing a good enough job filtering their content. Protect IP will also hurt our economy in a big way, while also making the internet less secure by threatening the global DNS. Government censorship of our internet is unconstitutional and is a violation of our right to free speech. So even if somehow the bill passes in congress and the President does not veto it, the supreme court will be able to declare it unconstitutional. Every major web power is against protect IP, including internet giant Google, YouTube, Facebook, and Yahoo.
