North Carolina NAACP President and Rev. William Barber appeared on Tuesday’s edition of “All In with Chris Hayes,” reinforcing the causes that prompted him to lead a Monday protest against Republican legislators.

The Raleigh News & Observer reported that of 50 Barber-led individuals marching outside the state Senate, 17 members were arrested, including Barber. The protests were in response to the aftereffects of a rare scene in North Carolina political history.

As Fox News detailed in January, the state is in uncharted territory, with its first GOP governor since 1993 and first instance of Republican control since 1870 in both the executive and legislative branches. When asked by Hayes whether that is a consequence of democracy, Barber gave an emphatic no.

When it comes to Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, you know that plenty about the game has been written about it so far, and earlier this year, we did talk about how Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance on the PS3 would be on the receiving end of exclusive VR missions, which is a boon for those who are gaming on the PS3 platform. Well, here are additional nuggets of information on Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance, where it is tipped to pick up additional downloadable content later in May (May 14th, to be exact), which will make LQ-84i playable in the side story.

After all, who does not want to step into the shoes, er, paws of a robot ninja dog, right? Not only that, the LQ-84i is certainly a crowd puller, especially among the ladies, which might very well be one of the incentives for the existence of the next Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance DLC. Konami claims that this new add-on will boast of “multiple hours” of new gameplay, where it will revolve around Bladewolf and its origins. With a DLC name like “Blade Wolf,” ‘nuff said.

Some mobile carriers depend on the kind of smartphones that they carry in order to make even more money by snagging new subscribers who cannot wait to pick up the device, even more so when said device is available exclusively only to a particular mobile carrier. Remember when AT&T was the sole carrier in the US to offer the Apple iPhone? That certainly drew a whole lot of subscribers to the mobile network for sure. Well, Leap Wireless came to an agreement with Apple in June last year, where they signed a contract with Apple in order to purchase close to $1 billion worth of iPhones ($900 million to be exact) over the course of three years,

According to Leap CEO Doug Hutcheson, he claims that they are offering a device financing program to help sell additional units of the iPhone, with the company in line to roll out another phase of the financing program which will see it expand it to cover two-thirds of those switching over to Leap from post-paid carriers. Regardless, the recent increase of iPhone sales will not change Leap Wireless’ mind to purchase additional iPhone units other than the ones that they have already agreed to pick up. There is an expected drop off of iPhone sales this spring according to an analyst.

There was a leak on the upcoming quad-core smartphone from Sony Mobile which was was said to feature a 20-megapixel in the works earlier this morning, carrying the nickname the Sony Honami. Wow, a 20-megapixel shooter would definitely place this as a flagship device under Sony’s stable for sure. We have more details on the alleged Sony Honami now, where it reportedly comes with a Sony 1/1.6″ Exmor RS stacked sensor and Cybershot G glass lens. The inclusion of a 1/1.6″ sized camera sensor would obviously make it larger compared to any of its other competitors, albeit for the one found in the Nokia 808 Pureview.

Apart from that, it is whispered that there will also be an all new image processing algorithm as well as revamped camera user interface which is based off the current generation of Sony Cybershot cameras. It is tipped that the automatic scene recognition will get a massive boost in improvement, even more so over the Sony Xperia Z. Will it come with xenon or dual LED flash? Only time will tell, as time is the great confirmer or destroyer of rumors.

Earlier this year, we brought you word that the Samsung Galaxy Fame was on the receiving end of its first firmware, and I guess it is not too long after that (a couple of months plus actually) that the Samsung Galaxy Fame will be getting a new model – one that has enough space to carry not one, but two SIM cards underneath the hood. Yes sir, the dual SIM version of the Samsung Galaxy Fame is all set to light up the dual SIM smartphone market, bearing the model number S6812.
