/**
 * This class creates pools of background threads for downloading Picasa images
 * from the web, based on URLs retrieved from Picasa's featured images RSS feed.
 * The class is implemented as a singleton; the only way to get an PhotoManager
 * instance is to call {@link #getInstance}.
 * <p>
 * The class sets the pool size and cache size based on the particular operation
 * it's performing. The algorithm doesn't apply to all situations, so if you
 * re-use the code to implement a pool of threads for your own app, you will
 * have to come up with your choices for pool size, cache size, and so forth. In
 * many cases, you'll have to set some numbers arbitrarily and then measure the
 * impact on performance.
 * <p>
 * This class actually uses two threadpools in order to limit the number of
 * simultaneous image decoding threads to the number of available processor
 * cores.
 * <p>
 * Finally, this class defines a handler that communicates back to the UI thread
 * to change the bitmap to reflect the state.
