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.

Columbus Circle, Then & Now


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.

House to desire


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.
 
Or reading your favorite Interior Design Magazine in this little library, relaxing in that special chair.
 
Or why not spend every night in this lovely, close to nature experience… Lets just say this is a house to love, if you live in it or just live by it. To see more photos and plans on the house click here

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…

The Hype is Hugh - iPhone 3G

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.
 
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;
