Best and Latest apps for 2012: Bet you don’t Have them
Android has become one of the greatest additions in the technology driven era. The demand for Android phones is on an all time high. And the major reason for its popularity is the number of apps it offers.
You can choose from a number of apps available today. Some of the best and latest apps are listed below.
Cine Trailer is a must have app for the movie savvy crowd. This app allows one to watch trailers and read reviews. Make sure you use this app before you go to watch a movie, as it will let you know if it is good or bad. Watch the trailer and read the reviews, and then make your decision.
Flashlight is another very interesting app. In case you are stuck in a pitch dark room and need a torch, all you have to do is to switch on this app. And it runs on all Android devices. When you run this app, it switches on the cameras flash light thus illuminating the entire room.
StumbleUpon is only meant to kill time in a fun way. Just press the stumble button, and it opens up a variety of fun filled things to do. It ranges from fun lists and photographs to recipes.
Many people feel socializing is very difficult and they don’t know where to hang out with their friends. The Foursquare app has made things a lot simpler. This app shows the places which had been visited by their friends. It also allows you to read the reviews of a particular coffee shop or restaurant written by other customers.
Foodspotting, as the name suggests, is an app which finds the locations of the nearest possible restaurants based on a particular dish. Suppose you crave for tarts on a particular day but do not know where to find them. Go through the photos posted by the other food lovers and select the most scrumptious food. The app would then give the name of the restaurant where the dish is being served.
If you are in the mood of some music but are clueless about the songs you would like to listen to, then the app Janga Radio is apt to solve this problem. You just have to type the name of the artist whose songs you would like to listen, and the app lists not only the songs by that artist, but also songs by different artist of the same genre.
Weather Underground is an app which gives information about the weather conditions not only in a particular city, but also about a place within that city. It gives day-to-day as well as weekly forecast about the weather conditions. Thus if you plan to visit a particular place then the weather conditions should not be an obstacle in your travel plans.
These are just some of the essential applications needed in your smartphone. But I can understand if they are unable to satisfy your app hunger, don’t worry, there will be cooler and better apps very soon in the market.

Just one thing:
What about pep8 in your python code ? How can you give ‘tutorials’ on quite popular website, of such a bad quality ?

Larry Page is not being completely honest! The manner in which the PRISM program/project works does not need access from company administrators or owners, so called “direct access”; the access to the information is already there. These tech company CEOs take for granted the actual intelligence of most end users of their products. All it takes is a little digging and reading to go from ignorant to informed on these things especially on exactly how the internet works/functions in the U.S.A. I find Larry Page’s remarks just as laughable as Al Gore’s claim to “inventing” the internet/world wide web!
If you, as an end user, are reading this post; I challenge you to research these matters yourself. It really is quite simple with all the “information sites” that exist on the web today ie Wikipedia, & other online encyclopedias that actually list source material, as well as highly respected tech sites and blogs that also list their source material. Be warned: this is only the tip of the iceberg and these tech CEOs know and understand this; they are scrambling in attempt to perform DAMAGE CONTROL to save the company and what little trust thay have left from their products end users/consumers.
Am I a skeptic? I believe someone has to be or needs to be at this point in time! If your not just a little skeptical of the government, tech companies, and the people that are in charge of these agencies and companies; you need to be, even if just a little skeptic. For your own personal protection and security! I know I was a part of this community for over 14 years!

As I understand it so do VLC use same encoders as ffmpeg. And yes, there are less code that can break when you use command line instead of a graphical UI.
And may I ask what mono has to do with VLC? *facepalm*

Just some thoughts about Java.
OpenJDK7 are now THE Java implementation and Oracles are just one more of the reimplementations. So you should not need to install Oracles version.
And you really don’t need to remove the OpenJDK7 installation to also have Sun Java JDK 7. Just run
sudo update-java-alternatives –list
and select which java you want to have as default java of all that is installed.
And if you want to run a program with one special version, check manpage for java-wrappers how to do that.
man java-wrappers
so you can run java program rasterizer like this:
JAVA_FLAVOR=openjdk rasterizer
JAVA_ARGS=-Xmx80m rasterizer
JAVA_BINDIR=/usr/share/
etc
