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.

I Had to ask if it was confirmed and yes, it was. they had received an email of the proceedings of July 11th I.e. Time, activation And so on.
Hey and sorry for being out of news, it’s summer here and we are getting into the position where we work more and harder with other stuff then WASF. However, we will try our best to keep the news flowing and maybe turn down a bit on the quantity and express our selves in quality.
So we hope to see you guys in here a lot, and to continue delivering good quality content because you deserve it.
Here are 25 minifig characters and multiple decks of Episode IV goodness. Included in the set are rarities like Stromtrooper-ized Luke and Han, the Dianoga trash compactor monster (!), and various droids (Interrogation Droid, R2-Q5, etc.), this is for geeks and kids. $400
There are people out there that say that the japanese water driven car is a hoax, well how do they stand up to this?! Watch the video, brings plasma cutter from just distilled water, burns over 13 000°F.
UPDATE
Some people have emailed us and told us this is a hoax, well im not sure if they are hired from the gasoline companies or if they don’t get it. You plug this thing into a wall socket, add electricity and then the electrolyses starts and from the water you gain HHO - gas or Oxyhydrogen
lets face it it’s not good looking and it’s not the biggest car you have seen, but its a big step for mankind, and it’s what we need to evolve from the darkness of crude oil time. It’s time for us to move forward and no more backwards! Check out this video and please spread the word about this car, because the world needs it. GENEPAX.co.jp
So yeah, we are on Facebook, if you want to just Add us, and we give you the latest inside info, and you can join discussions and post your own superfamous stuff! So just feel totally free to join and help us become a better site. - The Crew

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…
So here we are at THE DAY when apple are having their biggest press release in a long time, right now the stock has fallen $ 1,79… however the day is far from over, in a little over just 2 hours the big event will take place, the WWDC 2008.
This is the rumor though that there will be a MacFusion, a smaller version of the MacMini, directed towards the developer section, with abilities such as running Vista, or Linux via boot-camp.
What do you think? Is this the next generation MacMini/AppleTV take 3
Well back from a minor holiday, as you might have explored, from the fact that i haven’t updated in a while. So here we are the historical 9th of June 08. What will we see today, a new iPhone? updated Macbook’s? well lets just say for a fact that steve will say Booom! one more time and we might be seeing the next version of the iPhone and it might be so good that nothing will stand in its way for the upcoming year or two.
We have been showing you photos, and leaks, we have been giving you loads of info on the iPhone, but we are not in SF and we can not liveblog from there so what we will do is give you a set of links the people that do liveblog and probably do it a hell lot better then we do.
We will cover the news, but not as fast as these guys so we will be happy to give you the latest news and they will be happier to bring it to you almost instantly.
You might think this is a joke, but it’s not its true, it’s now fully available to run your car completely on water. If you don’t believe it, look at the video below.
So the iPhone is to be slimmer and 22% if we trust the mighty Leander Kahney the word is out that he has gotten info from inside apples womb. He is deeply nested in the apple hierarchy and his word is most likely true. So slimm jimmy bobby boy iphone reveal yourself!
You don’t wanna miss this video, it’s destined to be the most awesome movie you will see this week. So fasten your seat belts and get ready for a ride into the magical magnetic movie world.
So in the future of aviation we will see changes, first we see changes in numbers of travelers then we will see a change in the fuel usage, and new ways of powering airplanes (with things as sustainable as humanly possible). The Boeing/NASA X-48b as seen on the big picture is one of those future features that are just radical and unbelievable to the eye. What do you think we need to do with the future aviation industry, stop flying or just start researching?!
"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.
