New web cam
-
I needed to get a new web cam for traveling purposes this week, so I ran into a local Best Buy (yeah I know ..) and pretty well grabbed the first one that met all of my buzz words. (Portable, with a travel case and also with a stand). I ended up with a logitech web cam.
I just unpacked it and installed it and noted some WTFs. First .. It does come with a travel case. But the case is sized for just the camera and its USB cord. If I want the stand to come along then I have to pack it separately. Second, when installing the Logictech software, it came up with a screen of two options for me to choose from via a set of radio buttons - Install with or without Logitechs Vid software (seems to be their version of skype). I chose "without". The next screen confirms your choice with a set of checkboxes .. including one for "Vid" that was checked - Insistent bastards aren't they! Third .. this camera supposedly has autofocus .. I have no idea how this is meant to work. All I know is that I spent 5 minutes looking at a blurry picture of myself while I tried to convince the damn thing to focus on me. It only seemed to work again after I changed camera resolutions.
There are probably more WTFs, but I haven't had time to discover them yet

The camera's fine. You're the one that's out of focus.

Dude. Stop underlining things that aren't links.
You're making baby Nielsen cry.

The autofocus is fine, you're just not standing at the right distance.
