Columbus Circle, Then & Now

Linus — Sun, 29 Jun 2008 00:26:51 +0000

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

Linus — Sat, 28 Jun 2008 00:52:32 +0000

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

HHO gas - for a better climate

Linus — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 11:02:30 +0000

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

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.

The Hype is Hugh - iPhone 3G

Linus — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 12:15:06 +0000

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;

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;
