Just as an interesting aside, the same thing could happen with film cameras that have focal plane shutters. The shutter moves a slit across (and in some cameras, vertically) the film.

There's a famous photo of an old race car taken by a French photographer (I can't remember his name), and the car, especially the wheels, appear to be slanted forward. The shutter was a upward-traveling one, so the early part of the exposure was at the bottom of the frame, as as the latter part of the exposure was made, the car had moved forward.

It is the biggest issue by far of the HD video DSLR cameras. That then recording format/bitrate, then live HD output for monitoring.

@thedarkhorse: Except for the GH1 which has somewhat crummy codec implementation and a lack of live output (at least after hitting record) but also has the least rolling shutter jello of any vDSLR and even less than most CMOS camcorders, even on shots with lots of fast, lateral movement.

It's really not at all there or noticeable with that camera. In fact the only time I've ever really seen it was when doing motion-stabilization in post production, wherein the motion of the shots is removed, and we're left looking at a static shot...then, (and even then only sometimes), do you see rolling shutter with the GH1.

Given their past success rate with the Taepodong-2 rockets (the ones with the potential to reach the US) I'm feeling pretty safe here in Washington State.

My guess would be that they wouldn't risk loosing one of their nukes on a missile which currently has a 100% failure rate by trying to target the US Mainland. Far more likely that they would target our allies in the region, that means Japan and South Korea would be in the most danger.

Oh Jesus. Between the unadulterated iphone love and the fear of Israel, you move further and further down my list. Jesus loved everyone, and despite the fact that Christianity forgot that (crusades, inquisition, damning everyone to hell that does not believe in Christ, etc), I love him for it! I wait patiently for him to return to bring peace on earth!

@OMG! Ponies!: Oh and don't forget that Israel was caught red handed stealing US Nuclear secrets back in the day, What do you think goes on out in the Negev desert after they bulldozed all the Arab towns and kicked out the nomads? They've been building Nukes practically since their inception as a nation.

@antitrust311: Hey! Don't badmouth the Negev. Back in college, I spent 8 weeks living in an IDF tent in the Negev, doing a dig on a Chalcolithic site about 40km north of Be'er Sheva. One of my fondest memories.

We were camping right by Kibbutz Lahav, the only Kibbutz that raises pork.

@Hyman Decent: The real question was how they raised it.

Under Israeli law, it is illegal to raise pork on Israeli soil. So they built a concrete platform about 6" above the ground and hosed the pigs down throughout the day.

The pig farming was for medical research, as pigs are valuable in testing. A large part of Israel's economy is in pharma and medical devices.

Kibbutz Lahav: Further proof that God likes people who think outside the box.

And finally the world is starting to see the atrocities that Israel has tried to cover up all of these years. I hope this makes people realize that supporting the Zionist cause is not the answer.

@ZLevee: i don't think israel is in need of nukes at the time, the american airforce and arsenal will do just fine.

@bishara: First, you seem to have missed my point. Second, to your response to SinisterBill, the idea that Palestinians lost thier "State" IS a myth. Prior to the establishemnt of modern Israel, that area had been controlled by Egypt and other entities ever since the Jews were driven out centuries ago.

@Brandon Gribin: Last I checked nukes are the craziest gizmos of all time.

Their existence was unknown until now. Isn't that when you want G1/Pre/iPhone news? When it's discovered?

Stop hating on people from a news outlet because there is politics involved.

Politics are ALWAYS involved, even the office place.

Get over it.

I'm trying to get all worked up about this, but haven't we known that Israel has had at least 200 warheads since 1980?

The French started helping them in the 1950's with their weaponized nuclear program.

Wikipedia has a very detailed timeline of their nuclear weapons program.
