Finally the clock has turned 9:20 Am and Im live from the Que in Falkenberg Sweden. We did not have the opportunity to have a store that opened 00:00:01 so now im here instead and we are now 9 people in the line, incredible or just truly geeky?Â
UPDATE
There are now 14 persons in line for the iphone in Falkenberg, and the rumor is that there are less than 40 iPhones in the store… no one knows..
We are now 10 minutes from the release, and the que is getting bigger, there are people from many parts in sweden, and they are truly geeks.
This is Manhattan, more than 100 years ago, mankind has accomplished so many things in that century. We have made the earth nearly impossible to inhabit, we have pulled out to much oil from the soil we live on. And we have made technical break troughs that are to me, unbelievable. I like this shot of the Columbus Circle, it makes me realize that we are just humans, and not so many years ago, we where very primitive and had no idea about the future, we still don’t and we are not brighter in our minds, we are however still humans and we fight to survive. This is columbus circle today… We are here to stay.
I’ll admire and desire until the day i die, and I’ll do it with pride and self confidence. This house is just one of those things you admire, and somewhat just want to see every day of your life. Maybe not live in but at least see it, maybe having it as a neighbor. I’ll give you some more pictures just so you can get the feeling of it and the atmosphere that surrounds it. Walking out this sliding door every sunday morning and taking a minor dip in that sweet looking pool wouldn’t be wrong.

This place is incredible it’s located on Sweden’s largest island Gotland, the old industrial building has been transformed from its original state to a hotel and a restaurant.
This is not like any other restaurant, its built inside an old 50’s construction building, the place Furillen made concrete once in time. And know it’s one of the hypest hotels in the entire world. With beds from Hästens for $79 000 each, and each room has a Bang&Olufsen state of the art sound systems. Interior from old Skeppshult, and loads of other high end brands.
So if you have the roads past the beautiful island Gotland you must visit Hotel Furillen, i’ve made a flickr search for you guys so hit the photostream here this is so you can get a feeling of the place. Did i mention the food? Worldclass…
Now the Swedes are invading Brooklyn, we are everywhere so beware. Well not everywhere but you can imagine thinking swede, when you see a; Volvo, Sony Ericsson Cellphone, SAAB, H&M, Hard Bread, Meatballs and of course IKEA.
Now its time to invade Brooklyn, and we do it with pride, thats why we placed a 20×20 feet packing box as a showroom to get those Brooklyners lined up for the opening, well i’ve heard rumors that people will camp outside, even more fanatic than the Apple fans.
The natural light and open spaces are organized to make the outdoor setting the home’s focal point. The interiors are simple, and the No. 5 motif carries from the outdoors into the home’s design scheme. They did design those incredible coffee tables for Amazon over at the offecct thingy

Nagi Noda created the video called “Ex Fat Girl†a few years back which features white poodles exercising to music. Her new project is—as the name implies—hats made of hair. Witch we find very interesting, and well we simply wanna share it with you so you can continue to spread it!

So many of you might not be interested in the iPhone at all, we did make a lot of new yesterday from the WWDC 2008 in San Francisco, those of you that don’t know what it is it’s a developers convention for the development of Apple Inc. Mostly about the tech future in the company, OSX and of course the iPhone.
Â
Well a couple of months ago there turned up some pictures online, one of them was this one, showing up the backside of the new iPhone 3G however people turned it down as a thing you could buy in China.
So the Rumors went on and just a couple of days after the first image (the one above) we got another one all over the internet; This time the backside of the iPhone was facing up and you could see it laying on a Macbook Pro, but once again people turned it down as a FAKE photo. Well now that we have the key in our hand we know they where true photos and not fake ones and we also learned how hard it is to get your sources right.
So what can we say about the new iPhone? We can start of buy Whining over the stuff it did not get, (however i don’t care about this at all)The iPhone did not get;
Better Camera
Stereo Bluetooth
Front faced camera for video calls
Cut & Copy Paste
Bigger storage
Picture messaging
Video Recording
So this pictures show of the new iPhone and the similarity to the Photos that have been out and around the web are well identical. So now you know the downsides, the only thing i think we can’t fix because its a hardware issue is the Storage space. The other things on their hand is software stuff, so i think that we will see this things in form form 3rd parties. The things that are new with the iPhone 3G;
3G
GPS
Slimmer design
Microsoft Exchange support
Push; email, contact, calendar via: MobileMe
Possibility to ad-hoc, close system
3rd part development applications
App Store
Affordable prices, from $199 (or €130)
The new iPhone 2.0 OSX with tons of new features
So form my standpoint this is THE phone on the market, the things i mentioned before about the Copy & Past, no MMS, those are software issues, witch any good programmer out there can fix, and well lets face it how much storage does your mobile phone have?! mine has 2GB… So 16GB do it for me. The price is just unbelievable from a high $399 to just 199$ i wanna see what Nokia will do with their N96 now, its bigger, clumsier, more expensive, not the same storage space, no touch screen, no OSX.
The other strong things with the new iPhone 3G is the possibiltie you have to play games, like the Super Monkey Ball; You can also watch this video from YouTube where Sega demonstrated the game in realtime.
So the verdict with the new Apple iPhone 3G… Yes i crave it and yes I’m gonna get it, and yes its the best phone ever made by man.
To close this chapter we want to end with a small Poll, so please answer the following question;
Watch the latest iPhone movie ad here. Its from Apples secret vault, just the way we imagined it to be, high tech and pretty… i guess its a studio in Universal studios or Disney Pixar…
One of the favorite cataloging app’s just got a lot better. Delicious Library 2 ($40/new and $20/upgrade) let’s its user (OSX Leopard) to catalog and organize their stuff, everything from CDs and games to toys, tools and more, everything displayed in all their glory on photo-realistic shelves.
"This weeks Swedish" Is where we will try to highlight something or someone from Sweden. First up is busty blonde uber babe Victoria Silvstedt.
Since there is so much talk about Sweden and whether polar bears really walk the streets and if there is blonde beauty's everywhere I can tell you this much. One of these things are true, and it's not the the bears.
I know I could do this the easy way and just post a bunch of pictures and I bet most of you would be pleased. But since we here over at superfamous are a bit more "cultured" here is the 3 minute biography of swedish sweetheart Victoria.
Victoria grew up in a family of five in a small village in northern sweden. She became a world class member of the Swedish National Ski Team at an early age, unfortunately a shoulder injury at the age of 16 put an stop for Victoria's Ski career
Instead she entered the 1993 Miss Sweden Beauty Pageant. She was declared the winner and it was off to the 1993 Miss World Pageant. Here Victoria became a finalist and was discovered by a Parisian modeling agent and began a career in high fashion. Working for companies such as Chanel, Christian Dior, Givenchy, Valentino and Giorgio Aramani.
In 1996 she was offered an opportunity to do a "quick photo shoot" for Playboy.
Which turned into December 1996 Playmate of the month and later 1997 Playmate of the year.
Victoria has since then worked with brands such as Nike, Renault, Coors, Radisson and many more.
She has also done a few movies. Amongst them one of my all time favorite
comedies Baseketball where Victoria does an outstanding performance.

To start off this new release with a new site we also start off by giving you a review on the latest album from Moby - Last Night. And to start with i need to amplify that Im really not a super duper fan of all Moby's musical work, but i do like him very much.
This album, Last Night got out 5 days ago on april 1st, but I've had the pleasant pleasure to been able to listen to it for almost 2 weeks now, and i have to tell you that the first time you listen to the album you kinda just go with the flow, and the typical Moby sound is there somewhere lurking in the darkness of the disco electro pop tunes. Over all a nice music experience, but as most of you know to really get to now an album you need to listen to it at least 3 times to be able to have something to say about each track or the whole album itself.
So i had lots of time to do just that and boy can i tell you that i really, i mean really from the bottom of my swedish music hearth like this album. The typical Moby sound that i was looking for in the beginning just disappeared, and now i can truly say that the "ooohh yeah..." with a flangered voice do turns me on. As one of Moby's poster says, "Disco Lies" and also the name on one of the tracks... It truly does, disco must be the music genre that lies the most.
To just quick hit the disco subject, i just hate those competitions in Disco dancing, where the competitors wave their hands and arms in big circles and for some reason try to fly! All this to some euro disco pumed-up song that really sucks. Thats a good comparing to what "Disco Lies" stands for, a lying disco dancer form eastern Europe high on street drugs.
Everyday it's 1989, well if you want the song with the most Moby feeling to it, thats the one. This retro, 80's / 90's return is something that i LOVE, yes call me a toy boy, or future hater, or just call me whatever you want, but know one thing, Moby is the architecture of sound, he lives in his one man studio on manhattan, eco lover, just want to party and live life. But even though he is a "Geek" he is truly an architecture of sound, he makes tunes that make your entire body wanna jump up and down endlessly until your brain almost but you in a coma. The sweetness and clearness in Mobys sound is something that makes him stand out in a crowd, also the fact that he is one of our times masterminds when it comes to sample and creating beats.
So to wrap this small review up, get the album, if you don't like Moby, you will after you listen to it. And if you like Moby this is a must have in your digital or analog collection. Super hyped steroid disco dancers in a underground music club, jumping screaming for more sampling by Moby, thats what this Album is all about.

Incredible, this must be the one of this years sweetest movies, along with Iron Man.
Did not find any good Flash embed to show here and frankly i don't have anything special to write about it either, i just want you to watch it!
Q:How come you got involved with design and art?
A: I've been drawing since I was little and I've always read a lot of comic books so probably that lead to illustration; movies and music where the ones that got me interested on design. My first job on the field was at the motion based studio Punga, working with them really pushed my interests to the next level.
Q:Does it run in the family? (The interest for design and art /fashion)
A: Not really, my father was an engineer all his life and my mother is a journalist, but maybe my brother is the closest one from what I am doing, he is studying to become an architect.
Q: How old are you? And do you think ages has anything to do with your sense for art and style?
A: I'm 23 and I think that the sense for art and style depends more on your personal interests than what age you have. Maybe some recent design graduates have similar style 'cause of their education structure; but it all depends on how much you love what you do, either you stay in a kitty sand box all your life or you become a great artist.
Q: You have done some amazing art that is influenced by Daft Punk, do you like Daft Punk? and if you do what's your favorite song?
A: Daft Punk is amazing, I went to one of their shows and I got blown away by it. My favorite song is Humans after All, it really gets me going. It will sound weird but I don't feel so inspired by it, love all the looks but what really blows my mind is At the Drive In, Mars Volta, Battles and bands like that.
Q:What is your favorite treat? ( like candy or other sweetness )
A: If you open my fridge you will only find candy and vodka, not food. So that's probably my favorite "treat".
Q: Give us a top ten on what's most played on your ipod!!
A: At the Drive In, Mars Volta, Battles, The Blood Brothers, Finch, Elliott Smith, Explosions In The Sky, Daft Punk, Ratatat and Radiohead, in no particular order!
Q: How fast do you run 1 mile?
A: HAHA that's weird. I used to run 14 miles in 50 minutes, so I think about 4 minutes the mile.
Q:Is there an artist you like or respect in particular? Some one who inspires you?
A: There are many artists that I met and really respect and admire, but there are 2 particular that I had the pleasure to work with. Tomy Di, the director of Punga (www.punga.tv), I learned a lot from him and apart from his great talent, he's a great person and friend. The past months I've been working with Roy Garcia at Rock Instrument Bureau (www.rockinstrumentsite.com.ar) , and like Tomy, he's a guy that really respect and admire, really inspiring person to work with. There is another designer that I would love to meet, his name is Alex Trochut (www.alextrochut.com), I think he is one of the greatest new wave designers in the world.
Q:Now to conclusion, tell the readers on wearesuperfamous some good chosen words and a thank you for giving me radical respect "speech"!!
A: There isn't much to say about it, I really love what I do and I hope some day I will get my name up, I never gave a reason for my father to feel proud of me, I hope some day I will even If he is not here anymore. No matter what happens, no matter how difficult it gets; if you love what you do, just keep going.
