    How does Stanley have an advantage with an app like this? Wouldn't any similar app query/return the same data?

    I love Stanley tools. I have a couple (not many, since I am not very handy) of their tools, and they are fabulous. I also have the Stanley branded thermos by Aladdin, which I must say, I have put through HELL and its still fabulous about 10 years into ownership. Its so tough, I plan on leaving it to my kid, when I die in 150 or so years.

    @TheSonOfKrypton: If you want to know what other Stanley branded tools are in my toolbox, just the odd hand tool or two and a kick ass tape measure. If, however, what you really want to know is what other tools are in my arsenal, thats a conversation for another blog. ;)

    @Hiroak: No pink tools, but I do keep them all clean and even oiled (as needed) and I also freak out if someone borrows them and then doesnt put them away. My favorite is my 18V drill/driver with TWO batteries and the most borrowed tool at the office is a pair of medical hemostats that are great for geting torn paper from the copier, printers or faxes.

    @Toshie: To a degree. I think it's their way to float the idea before the App bubble bursts. On balance, if they get a lot of interest, they can mount a pay system without being left hanging.

    @92BuickLeSabre: It's nice to read comments from the more level-headed of the bunch. It really keeps things centered.


    On that note, some people will believe you if you tell them that the liquid in a level is bovine urine, preferred for its specific viscosity that allows it to be used in such a manner.

    @General Halfshaftery: I wlouldnt be surprised if someone makes that comment in the app ratings. Some of the dumbest people in the world have an iPhone/Touch and feel the need to voice their (stupid) "opinions".


    I'm sure there's already a, "This game is stupid. I beat it in 5 secs. Dunt bother dling. " there.


    However, I always get a kick from people complaining about lack of sound. Eeither because their phone is on silent or they have a 1G Touch. "So stupid that you have to plug in headphones to hear this. Why didn't the devs say this fart app wouldn't work without them? Don't dl they are trying to cheat us out of monies."

    Pretty good. Although I wonder how hard it is to calibrate the app for use.

    When are they going to put accelerometers in DSLRs so that you can have a level on the display?!

    @qbrad: They have been for years, how do you think your vertical photos come out already rotated when you transfer to your computer? In my old 10d and now my 5d, I use the autofocus spots as a guideline to get me in the ballpark.

    How are you tu use this? How can you look through the viewfinder AND at this at the same time. It might be useful on a tripod but still.


    I just use the lines in the viewfinder...


    Oh... this is made by Brando. Ok ignore the logical usage issue above.

    @future-proof: It's best used with one eye looking through the viewfinder and one eye looking at the level. Sure, for horizontal photos you'll have to turn your body parallel to the ground, but that seems to be what's required. It's levitation, Holmes.
