hypnosec writes: During Nokia’s press event for the launch of its flagship Windows Phone 8 smartphone – the Lumia 920 the Finnish company made available some promotional materials wherein there was a video showcasing PureView’s main feature: optical image stabilization (OIS) but, it turns out these ads were faked following which Nokia has issued an official apology. In the video was “a reflection that revealed the footage wasn't shot on a Lumia 920, but a regular camera inside a white van.” If we go to 0:27 of the video, a reflection of a white van keeping pace with the girl is seen whereby a person is holding a DSLR camera. Fast forward to 0:48 of the video and you will clearly see the shadow of a DSLR hooked to the swing. In its apology through a blog post Nokia confirms that the video "was not shot with a Lumia 920."

Submission + - Malaysia Stages Internet Blackout To Protest New Censorship Law (ibtimes.com)

According to Malaysia's Centre for Independent Journalism (CIJ), the second of two amendments to the Malaysian Evidence Act of 1950, also known as Section 114A, "enables law enforcement officials to swiftly hold someone accountable for publishing seditious, defamatory, or libelous content online." In addition, those accused of posting this kind of content will be "assumed to be guilty until proven innocent," which completely stands in the face of the typical logic of the traditional judicial process, which is "innocent until proven guilty." The CIJ warns that "if allegedly defamatory content is traced back to your username, electronic device, and/or Wi-Fi network, Section 114A presumes you are guilty of publishing illicit content on the Internet." The CIJ organized Tuesday's blackout, where participating sites blacked out their names and services with messages that read, "This is what the Web could look like.""
