Presumably to be stale you must have seen soemthing more recent to
make Nornam Koran article stale.

Malcolm,

The top of the page indicates that the last update was September 17, 2005,
and that most of the text was written in 2002 and 2003. Six years is a
long time in digital photography. There are considerably more recent
cameras and lenses than the article mentions, reflecting different takes
on the strength of anti-aliasing filters, for example, and I suspect that
the Foveon was seen in a more favourable light then than now. The growth
of pixel count in small-sensor cameras has been much greater than the
article suggests.

More recent articles include those by Roger Clark and Emil Martinec.
