I like to use Aperture, I like the way it works and have got used to it. But, it has been working so sloooow… Painfully slow sometimes!
Today I have doubled my MacBooks memory, now I have 8GB and that made the trick! Bye, bye slow MacBook!
I’ve read a Swedish blogpost today saying there is no tablet market, because it’s an iPad market. That blogpost referred to an older blogpost in english, There really isn’t much of a tablet market.
I don’t find any reason to write that blogpost one more time, but it made me think of the difference between an iPad-copy and a Rolex-copy.
Twenty years ago it was enough to sell copies of products like Rolex or Sony Walkman and for a lot of people that bought copies, the main reason was that they wanted others to see that they had this special item. They wanted to brag, create an illusion, the functions were not that important, because there weren’t so many that would ask them to demonstrate their fake Rolex watch or a cheaper fake version of a Sony Walkman. It was enough if the Rolex showed the time and if the Sony Walkman look-alike could play some cassette tape music.
The current situation with iPad and iPad wannabes is different, but the hardware producers don’t seem to understand it. They keep on making their fake iPads, oh yes, they have their own brands and product names, but everyone knows that every tablets secret wish is to be reborn as an iPad. Today it’s not enough to create a product that looks like an iPad. Customers do like the design, but they are in love with the way iPads work. That’s why almost everyone who buys a non-iPad-tablet will feel disappointed. They want to have the functions and the access to all the cool apps.
The only hardware producer that seems to have get it is HP and that’s why they decided to stop producing their tablet and focus on their WebOS. Their shareholders didn’t get it though, because the stock price fell the day after the announcement.
Maybe I should feel sorry for all the PC-makers who haven’t understood this? But no, why should I? They have got every chance to evaluate the development and they also had a lot of experts working for them. Apple has done a lot of things right and I understood that 1989. I hope that Apple will keep on doing the right choices.
We have seen how the owner of the island hotellet på Furillen, Johan Hellström, have been working with some building project by this tower and today was the grand opening!
Welcome to Fotografiska, now also on Furillen starting with an exhibition with stand-up comedian and photographer Henrik Schyfferts!
Johan likes to talk so naturally he gave a nice speach when he declared the new tower opened. Well done Johan!
Then we got to listen to lovely Frida Sundemo who sang so beautiful that the tower started to shimmer and sparkle!
We have never heard about her before, but was fortunate to have the opportunity to speak to her before the opening. She was a really nice girl! Let’s hope her career develops well in Japan and that we’ll get to see more of her in Sweden.
Henrik Schyffert talked about his pictures with the theme ”Time on your own”. He did some stand-up too – of course! He’s very funny, we laughed a lot.
People mingled around and ate food and strawberries.
This woman is actually walking around with a living chicken on her arm! The mother hen had got killed by a fox and since the woman started to care for this chicken, it refuses to leave her. So she carries him/her with her all the time.
Lonely cabin by the tower.
Shelter for homeless birds?
A scene just beside the tower.

Dear Tintin from my childhood have finally made it to a 3D-movie, made with motion capture technic. Here in Sweden the premier will be October 28th. UK October 26th, USA and Canada December 23th, Australia December 26th – you find all the dates here!
We have just taken an evening walk. It had been raining and the sun was going down. When we looked around we saw the rainbow and, isn’t our house just behind those trees?
So, see you later, we’re going out digging for that pot of gold!
