here is an implementation of:
* the spinner onpening where the user touched (where the invisible mouse 
cursor was)
* stays there for 2 seconds
* go with an animation on the bottom center where it was if the app is really 
slooooow to load

good thing is thatit shows right there was your locus of attention so slightly 
less likely to go unnoticed

bad thing, looks quite bad ;)
