Wesley's Tool-Box

This is one of the reasons why I can't take most of the cameras on the cellphones seriously yet. Especially the commonly used CMOS-based ones. The image sensor scanning the landscape has takes certain time, even with sufficient lighting, as this photo I took on a day inside a car travelling around 70km/h shows. The cellphone used was CP-X501.

The image is actually quite crisp, so the shutter speed was quite fast, but the sensor scanning couldn't keep up with the fast-moving objects, resulting in a humourously warped shape for the box and the tree. Normal digital cameras, which use CCD, don't exhibit this problem. To this day I carry a separate digital camera on the belt to take quick photos and videos; my cellphone is mostly used for what it's supposed to do: make/get calls.

Some of you may have heard about how Microsoft is considering pulling Windows or delay new versions of it from South Korean market if the Korean Fair Trade Commission's final ruling about the recent investigation turns out to be unfavourable for it (Korean news article equivalent). I, for one, greatly encourage Microsoft to get their filthy Windows out of here.
