truth on hold Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 (edited) So every morning for last week when I get up well before sunset been curious about 2 bright stars in the sky, one of them probably the largest celestial body I've seen other than sun and moon. Turns out there's a category of apps that automatically maps the stars for you. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/29/technology/personaltech/29smart.html I downloaded the free version of "night sky". Find out its Jupiter and Venus. How cool is this? Be interested what neat apps others finding and using. Edited July 28, 2012 by Joe_the_6_pack

truth on hold Posted July 28, 2012 Author Posted July 28, 2012 Oh yeah with their resources that's probably even better. Is there a free version? What can you do with it? Yes I could look it up but I find comments from users more relevant than messy ads.

Like breaking it out late at night around a fire while having some cold ones!

Rob's House Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Pointing out constellations is money on a date. MDP should get this app.
boyst Posted July 28, 2012 Posted July 28, 2012 Interesting. But I assume that 69 ** **is longitude. can I change that? You can get it on any of the Ap Stores. It is great with Android. You hold it to the sky and it matches what you're looking at.

Jim in Anchorage Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Apps. Hah. I use my insane wealth of knowledge to identify planets. Maybe you should use your insane wealth of knowledge to fix your house rather then grooving with planets. Honest to God some times you remind me of a dragnet/Jack Webb 60's portrayal of someone on that new LSD drug.

"false flesh" let's you digitially undress people in image files. Enjoy http://www.salon.com/2011/03/16/false_flesh/?mobile.html Well, if you really want you can learn xray pictures. The light given off by cameras penetrates layers of clothing and with the propper combination of clothing and light you can edit the image to reveal what is under the clothes so long as: There is no bathing suit. The material is fitting. The material is not too dark.

Hell I figure with a $500 a day back hoe rental fee and your vast intellect we are looking at 2 days Tops. And you still come out good.

KD in CA Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 He'd flub it...he'd be really intimidated at the beauty of the night sky... But he'd tell us the Big Dipper is a 9.
Fan in San Diego Posted July 29, 2012 Posted July 29, 2012 Because to fix my house it takes an insane wealth of knowledge and a back hoe. You would hire hookers to fix your house?
