I did wonder about doing some featured chat sessions, but not sure what would make a suitable topic?

Rowland Shaw

Either that, or write a meta post about using the chat a bit more

Rowland Shaw

Think I need to kick some tumbleweed around in here

Yay, Nokia Cyan now general available for the Lumia 1020 in the UK :D

@SridharRatnakumar That sort of thing would be on topic on stackoverflow.com

Rowland Shaw

Apr 17, 2014 11:06

Just might take a week or two to adjust, if you're used to doing it the old way

Rowland Shaw

Apr 17, 2014 11:05

@VitorCanova That probably gives a more unified approach than the current approach of duplicating alerts

Rowland Shaw

Apr 17, 2014 08:00

I also still see updates from Facebook, LinkedIn & Twitter in the people hub

Rowland Shaw

@VitorCanova I've not seen this, as I'm using a different Microsoft Account to my personal phone - I did see contact photos coming through from Facebook though?

Rowland Shaw

Apr 17, 2014 07:56

@VitorCanova Similarly, my wife enjoyed playing with Cortana :)

Rowland Shaw

Apr 17, 2014 07:56

@VitorCanova I fall in two of those categories, using a spare phone for playing.

So, how are people finding the 8.1 update, or are people too afraid to install it on their phones?

Rowland Shaw

Apr 8, 2014 20:41

Same with when they introduced Live tiles way back when (3 years ago?)

Rowland Shaw

Apr 8, 2014 20:41

Very true

Rowland Shaw

Apr 4, 2014 20:00

Actually, come to think of it, I didn't think I'd like the half size tiles until I got 7.8 :)

Rowland Shaw

Apr 4, 2014 19:59

See, the tile wallpapers seems a bit random to me, but it's all about being personal I suppose

What do people think of the Windows Phone 8.1 features that have been announced?

Rowland Shaw

@row1 I want to get a Surface Pro first :/

@Sathya Have added a somment to put them in the right direction for next time :)

Rowland Shaw

@Sathya Fair enough - shame I didn't spot it sooner / anyone else that knows of WindowsPhone.stackexchange.com did :)

@slhck Can't say I did vote to migrate for that?

@Regmi Strictly speaking, it's speedlite and speedlight :)

Wonder if the real owner will come forward...

Still pretty good for normal reading distances

Rowland Shaw

Sep 11, 2012 20:35

Found there are "issues" with the NVidia drivers, but otherwise like it

Rowland Shaw

Sep 11, 2012 20:35

Have you played with any of the builds?

Rowland Shaw

Sep 11, 2012 20:31

Not sure there's enough TLAs there :)

Rowland Shaw

Sep 11, 2012 20:29

Certainly not at a sensible price point

Rowland Shaw

Sep 11, 2012 20:28

I'd always want an optical viewfinder

Rowland Shaw

Sep 11, 2012 20:27

Some do

Rowland Shaw

Sep 11, 2012 20:27

In my experience, they also own an iPhone ;)

Rowland Shaw

Sep 11, 2012 20:27

Amazing how many refer to mirrorless cameras with interchangeable lenses as a DSLR though :)

Rowland Shaw

Sep 11, 2012 20:17

Ironically, camera phones are good source of people getting into photography

Rowland Shaw

Sep 11, 2012 19:45

There can be a lot of snobbery about them

Rowland Shaw

Sep 11, 2012 19:43

And that was a non-Nokia person, too

Rowland Shaw

Sep 11, 2012 19:42

@jrista a video of someone waving the phone around, and taking a still, then zooming in to show little blur

Rowland Shaw

Sep 11, 2012 19:41

I have seen a video of the stabilisation which is pretty impressive though

Rowland Shaw

Sep 11, 2012 19:37

Only just starting to be possible, tho'

Rowland Shaw

Sep 11, 2012 19:27

Kinda sucks the scandal out of it then

Rowland Shaw

Sep 11, 2012 19:21

I didn't think they ever claimed the disputed footage was shot using the device?

Rowland Shaw

Sep 11, 2012 18:25

@MarkWhitaker There was a similar war on another question recently, too

Q: How do you Geocode photos based on a GPX track in Lightroom 4?

Lightroom 4 adds geotagging capabilities, including the ability to load GPX tracks from a GPS recorder. I used to use Microsoft Pro Photo Tools (now discontinued) which would cross reference the time vs. the location, and add the metadata to the image. I'd like to be able to do this with Lightr...
