AMAZON.COM said it bought DPreview.com for an undisclosed sum.

DPreview.com, reviews and lists information about digital cameras. The site was founded in 1998 by Phil Askey and, according to Amazon, "draws millions of unique visitors each month".

Amazon founder, Jeff Bezos, reckons Dpreview.com is "by far the most authoritative source anywhere for straight talk about new digital cameras." He liked it so much he bought the company.

Amazon says that DPreview will remain independent and keep its operation in London. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
