  • Hmmm, I can reply to this, though...

  • Smartphones can use their accelerometer / gyroscope as a spirit level.

    This was meant as a reply to Ron Co, but for some reason I can't seem to get the appropriate button to come up on my mobile...

  • AFAIK no-one is intending for big fast lenses use this, at least in the short term.

  • Nice to have Dave's input; I didn't see that when I wrote my last comment, not that it changes much (the comment was a response to Lars in case that's not obvious).

    Great work, anyway.

  • Maybe ;-)

    The RPi is specifically designed to encourage people to engage with hands-on DIY computing. How high up the list of challenges faced in this project do you think "actually configuring...

  • If the terrorist wants to do something like this, I'm afraid they'll work it out even if every last detail isn't spelled out.

  • Why the perpetuation of the idea that "configuring the camera board is not for the faint of heart"? That article didn't really show that it needed any significant configuration at all; just plug...

  • I haven't checked out the Stellarium app to know how it compares, but Google Sky Map is a free app with similar features to the ones you describe: it can use sensors to control the view to see...
  • Technically, if two companies share a monopoly, it's a duopoly. Arbitrary plurals are oligopolies. Peterhttp://xinaesthetic.net/images/frozenwatersig.jpg
  • That is true, but still... my profile is real, and it has location set, I'm sure that a large number of profiles have a real USA location set. I think they'd have reduced the noise and still a got...
  • Tried installing Acorn: "You have Mac OS X 10.7.5. The application requires Mac OS X 10.8 or later."

    Apple rant follows: I should probably not post it and you should probably not read it...

    What...

  • I just started using Pixelmator to make a little graphical help screen for a simple iPad app. I find that it is not the tool for the job, suspect Acorn would be better. For instance, putting an...

  • Replied in Amazon?
    If only they were as reliable to HMRC.
  • I haven't read the whole thread so no doubt this has already been said. I'd have thought they could avoid all this noise in the feedback if they simple only extended this phase of beta to people...
  • I wasn't aware of Acorn. It does look fairly decent. I just got hold of a copy of Pixelmator in the sale for my occasional mac-based image-editing needs, but maybe that would've been a better choice.

  • Well, a device like the Nexus 4 apparently only requires removing a couple of screws to get at the battery. If changing the battery is just a one-off when the old one dies, then that level of...

  • It seems to me that a substantial part of the novelty is lost; the most novel Lytro samples are things like splashes of water or spontaneous group shots... this will not be able to do anything...
