    The Unofficial TP Android Apps Thread

    I've got me a Desire, and I love it to bits, My 'must-have' apps: Barcode Scanner, Last.fm - Free, intelligent streaming music rMaps - Maps application, not as featured as Gmaps but the map detail includes footpaths. Twitter - their own app for android (not HTC's peep) Facebook...

    Dual core, Quad core ?

    Good Choice. Dual core is your friend, really. Quad core is nice and shiny and everything but very few programs are capable/written to make use of it. Proper use of multiple cores requires writing some serious threading into programs and quite the number of programmers see this as a headache...

    Website Feedback.

    I like it, a very clean looking flash website, only two things I'd add to your list: On the front page, under testimonials, the testimonial text slides under the menu, blocking some of it from view. I'm not a fan of the filmstrip movement at the bottom of the gallery pages - it moving in...

    Web Servers

    You can use Apache - if you have a sysadmin to hand, give them a server (or make his/her day by letting them spec+build their own - trust me when I say they'll love this) Dell will build you a half decent server box and usually pre-install something unix based for you. Apache, php, database...

    What was that CPL filter test....

    The CPL will reduce the glare off the coin, so place a coin with a light bouncing off it and into the camera In crappy ASCII art: (lamp) (camera) \ / \ / \ / -coin- then you spin the CPL and you should see the glare off the coin...

    Perseids Meteor Shower tonight......12th Aug

    In the first one, Canon 30D + 17-85 IS USM 30 Seconds, ISO400, f/4 @ 17mm. if you want to cut down on the light pollution, up the ISO and go for quicker shutter speeds - but alas I left my remote shutter release at home so I went for the longest shutter time just to give me a chance to...

    Perseids Meteor Shower tonight......12th Aug

    last time I caught them... they were about that dim though here: there's a satellite that's the bright one (you can tell by the gap in the line, which occurred between frames) and there's a very dim Perseid on the left. They can vary quite a lot in brightness, so the jury's still...

    Got one of the little Blighters! only took 2 hours and ~100 frames :s Thing is, I packed up when there was a bright one right where I was pointing the camera, but the last frame came up blank and this was about 20 minutes earlier :s I reckon I must've blinked...

    HTC google nexus 1 (android version 2.2)

    I'd not read that anywhere :/ According to this The desire is getting it this weekend :D I assume they'll roll out with the nexus1 at the same time, given the similarities between the phones. Hmm, after some more reading, turns out that Vodaphone (my network) will be testing it some before...

    a quick question

    64 bit ought to be faster, and there's not great loss running 32 bit software on it either. Some drivers will be different, and when you're downloading applications and the like, keep an eye out for x64 versions - they're usually much happier and will run faster on a 64 bit OS. Can you...
