The New Internet is here.
You might say what's so new about it, but it's pretty new.
It now has limits. That's right.. limits... not in speed.. but in bandwidth..
If you are using Comcast Cable Internet, now you can't use more than 250GB.

250GB is still pretty big, but why is this a problem? Well..
Even if you are not downloading anything illegally or use bittorrent to share big sized files, the internet has been changing and requires, generally, more bandwidth per person.
There are more streaming video websites (including many TV/Cable broadcasting company websites who offer videos online) or live video broadcasting websites than an year before. More and more people are also using these websites to interact and share their ideas. In this growing internet, putting an limit is basically changing the internet itself.
The future of internet is not in putting a limit to the bandwidth.
As we all know, we want high quality and high definition in everything. The future of internet is to cater to that need by increasing the speed and unlimited bandwidth.
Comcast should have upgraded their servers and services, not putting limits with un-acceptable reason of "to stop online piracy"
anyone ready to move to DSL?
(oh ye, btw, rumor has that the TimeWarner Cable will soon offer 'limited webpage' plans. meaning if you want to visit any famouse websites like..facebook, youtube...you have to pay more.. sucks eh?)

Nikon just announced and released new DSLR
Nikon D90 will replace Nikon D80
Is it better? well, it does have more functions and more megapixels than D80
Is it really worth it to drop $1000 for new D90?
If you are a photographer who just wants to take nice pictures, NO.
If you are a consumer who just wants to get the newest camera and loves gadgets, sure.
D90 has 2.1 more megapizels
D90 has .5" more LCD space
D90 can shoot 1.5 more shots in one second
D90 has livevew mode (which i rarely find myself using on my D3)
D90 has dust cleaning sensor (which doesn't really work that great)
D90 can record videos (in close to 720p HD quality)
D90 is $275 more expensive (according to price on B&H's website)
hmm i might be missing some other stuff like ISO performance and stuff
Since D90 is a new product, I haven't read/seen a complete review on it.
So, I am just talking based on specification.
D90 IS better camera. of coures it is.. it probably has better ISO performance, it has bigger LCD, has faster burst, dust cleaning sensor and liveview mode! and it can record video!!!!!!!!!!
but I am not sure if that's worth $275
ISO performance.. even if its better.. i rather get better lens to open my aperture all the way
bigger LCD... .5"?? common.. you can live with that
faster burst... if you are into sports photography, you shouldn't be using D90 or D80 in first place
LiveView.. Like I said before, I rarely use it..
Recording Video... if you want videos..get a camcorder.. (btw D90 can record audio in MONO)
dust cleaning sensor... it doesn't really clean
now that D90 is out, you will find bunch of used (or barely used) D80s on eBay or Craigslist for about $500 - $600
If you want to get the camera that will just work and save you money to get yourself a nice lens, go ahead with used D80.
(now that i think about it, with the money saved, you can get yourself a nice 3CCD miniDV camcorder loL)
p.s. dont take my words serious.. i am not pro or anything.. just my opinion..
p.p.s. more blogs coming soon with pictures :)
