Have you ever found something really badly designed? Something which obscurity of its functions makes it hard to understand its use? Something almost unusable to a point it would drive you mad using it too often? Perhaps, a fool's design? Then you have come to the right place. Post your findings here and help making the world a saner place.

Fully blurred pictures are now the new normal on most Web sites. Bastards. Filthy, scumbags.

What else to expect from those morons at Microsoft other than using fully blurry pictures.

Oh great, it is a feature in the Lumia 1020 according to Thurrott.

http://winsupersite.com/windows-phone/l ... nual-focus

What's different with the Lumia 1020 is that manually focusing on a particular object in a scene often creates a pleasant effect in which the object you focused on is perfectly clear while other objects in the scene are blurred out. This is called a bokeh effect, and while it can be abused, I've found myself using it a lot.


Here's an obvious example of how your choice of focus can impact a shot. In the first version of the shot, I've tapped to focus on the flowers in the foreground, so the background of the scene is blurred out.

In the second version, I focused instead on the background, so now the flowers in the front are blurry.

I didn't do this, but I could have taken a third short in which the focus was set to auto-or to "infinity" while the focus was in manual mode-and both the flowers and the background (i.e. the entire scene) would have been in focus.

Here's another perhaps too-artistic example.

Half the blur cases comes from camera lens and/or focusing choices. But yes the blur stuff is annoying...

Here is another one. From marketwatch.com. Apparently the first picture they used was "too sharp" LOL which was this:

So they removed it and changed it to this one:
