I spent a big part of the weekend trying to get my own code to grab a still image from my web cam.  In the end I had a complete failure, then I realized I had fallen into a trap that could happen to others. The USB web cam driver that was originally published as being for CE 4.2, 5.0 and 6.0 uses a set of IOCTL commands to interface with it.  The USB cam driver for 6.0 is a DSHOW camera interface and the IOCTL commands will compile and run

Some of your may have read about the “human error” on Google at the weekend: "This site may harm your computer" on every search result?!?! Which resulted in amusing, but scary results like this: My open question is what’s the impact? Is it the cost to businesses who depend on this channel or say group think/spin?
