Mitt Romney's plan to raise taxes on the poor | Reuters : Unsatisfied with America's current state of inequality, Republicans like Mitt Romney are planning to raise taxes on the poorest Americans. In Romney's case, the poorest 40% of Americans would actually get a tax hike under his proposed budget plan, while the upper tax brackets would get a considerable decrease. This is not a joke

Nikon D800: successor to the Nikon D700, successor to the Nikon D3X or megapixels gone wild? (Breningstall.com)

Nikon D800: successor to the Nikon D700, successor to the Nikon D3X or megapixels gone wild? (Breningstall.com): The 36-megapixel full-frame Nikon D800 has been announced, sending relief to Nikon users envious of the Canon 5D Mark II and consternation to photographers wishing for a natural successor to the D700- basically, a D4 Lite. Reviews on this camera have not been conducted yet, but this post will include specifications, a summary of analysis from around the web, pre-order information for anyone set to buy the camera, sample videos, and a brief summary of my own thoughts, with the caveat that I and many people writing about this camera haven't used it yet, so throw in ample grains of salt.
