| thumper | morning | 22:00 |
| hads | I like the new Unity button icon | 22:00 |
| mwhudson | morning | 22:02 |
| chilts | morning | 22:24 |
| hads | Also, opening the dash hasn't used all my CPU for n seconds yet which is neat. | 23:08 |
| mwhudson | hmm | 23:15 |
| * mwhudson is lusting after a new phone | 23:16 | |
| mwhudson | 2degrees seems to have a pretty good deal on a nexus 4... | 23:16 |
| mwhudson | although it seems that they might be somewhat backlogged... | 23:18 |
| hads | The N4 is great. The only complaint I have about mine is the glass back is so slippery if you put it on a couch or something it *will* fall off, even if the surface looks flat. | 23:22 |
| hads | Not really a complaint though so you can take from that that it's a great phone. | 23:22 |
| mwhudson | hads: where did you get yours from? | 23:23 |
| hads | Australian Google Play | 23:24 |
| hads | Proxy through Au somehow and you can save quite a few $ | 23:24 |
| lifeless | I picked mine up in the US | 23:24 |
| hads | Happy with it? | 23:25 |
| lifeless | very | 23:25 |
| lifeless | same slidiness issue | 23:25 |
| hads | It's amazing what it can slide off isn't it? | 23:25 |
| lifeless | indeed | 23:25 |
| olly | LG = Low Grip | 23:25 |
| hads | Amuses me that it can fall off something a minute or more after you put it there. Ultra slowly sliding down a tiny incline. | 23:26 |
| * olly wonders if there's an app which uses the tilt sensor and sounds an alarm | 23:27 | |
| G | olly: accelerometer + the compass for tilt, I guess | 23:28 |
| olly | why do you need the compass? | 23:28 |
| olly | gravity acts down whichever way north is | 23:29 |
| G | olly: isn't it the compass in the phones that show the magnetic field/elevation? | 23:29 |
| G | err not elevation, but rather tilt | 23:29 |
| G | no wait, thats the gyro, brain isn't working today | 23:29 |
| olly | my phone has no compass, but can show which way is down | 23:29 |
| olly | it is possible to get down from the magnetic field, but it's fiddly and needs some sort of calibration | 23:30 |
| hads | Compass/Gyro/Acell | 23:30 |
| olly | i believe it requries 3 coils | 23:30 |
| G | hads: I actually did the math, technically you could buy it via the Australian store, fly over to pick it up, claim the Aussie GST back, fly back, and it's within $50-$100 of the 2Degrees price | 23:31 |
| G | but you get a holiday out of it too | 23:31 |
| hads | haha | 23:33 |
| mwhudson | how much is it in aussie? | 23:34 |
| G | except, the math may be wrong now, because it looks like 2Degrees have knocked $100 off the price | 23:34 |
| mwhudson | it's only $699 on 2degress now and you'd be doing well to get the flights for that i think? | 23:34 |
| G | mwhudson: hold on, let me hunt my work IRC logs | 23:35 |
| mwhudson | not sure about 8 gb vs 16 gb i guess | 23:36 |
| G | 16GB = A$399, when my Aussie colleague checked March 27, $349 for the 8GB | 23:36 |
| G | but yeah, this was when 2D were marketing the price as $800, and A$399 =~ NZ$500 | 23:37 |
| mwhudson | oh ok | 23:37 |
| * G checks to see if Harvey Norman have dropped the price to match | 23:38 | |
| mwhudson | nope | 23:39 |
| G | typical I guess, and a pity too | 23:39 |
| G | (I have Harvey Norman vouchers to spend) | 23:40 |
