Download an app - quit smoking tomorrow

 

In a swedish online news site I found this interesting article about apps that will help you quit smoking or "snusa". You download the app and it will give you information you dont wanna know about your habit but also of course ways to avoid taking that ciggarete. Most of them coast money but one, an english version called "Stop smoking" is free. Try it! I downloaded it and besides the weird woman voice telling you stuff it could acutally work. I mean, you want to be healthy so smokers give it a try!

This years christmas gift

This is just a what do you think kinda a post. I read this article on how maybe tablets will be this years gift. Before we were relating tablets to Ipad, but now there is a lot of different types, some are shit and some you can get for a good price and they will work well. The iPad still dominates the market with a 50 percent share, according to third-quarter figures from the research firm IDC, but that is down from 60 percent a year ago. Samsung is in second place with an 18 percent share, Amazon is third with 9 percent, and Asus, which makes Google’s Nexus 7 tablet, is in fourth with 8.6 percent of the market. But like I said iPad is a bit expensive so people may choose another one. More of these theories will come out now that Christmas is getting closer, just goanna have to wait and see I guess!

 

Buy a new Ipad get a used one..

Good afternoon!

Reading todays paper, or actually online I came across this interesting and kinda funny article. It is about this girl who went to a electronic store to buy are Ipad, but when she got home she realized that it was full of porn! The guy or girl who had it before her was still online on her/his facebook and all this other stuff. Of course when she went back there they gave her a new one and everything was fine but when thinking about this further Im just wondering how much of the stuff we buy is really new? How do we know? form the box or what? I mean I could cover up that pretty well I believe. Do u believe everything we buy is new?

Just a thinker, kinda scary or freaky when thinking about it...  :))

KHNL VISIT

Goooood morning Hawaii!

Got up super early to go to the Hawaii news station in Downtown, we were not super many but I'm suprised so many was there. Got there by 6 and stayed for like 1,5 hours ish... The visit was fun and for me who is interested in Tv production I found very intereseting to see how it works here in America, beacuse I have only been in Sweden seeing these types of production.

I took some photos while I was there as well, kinda cool seeing her on the news later at the gym knowing I just saw her in real life hehehee.....

It was a great start and I think that it would be fun to to this type of things more often. If you are interested in this field you kinda get a boost from it. But it is crazy how much they have to remember and the stress, you have to really be able to handle that.

I liked to visit alot even though I had to go up at 5 it was worth it! :))

Mahalo!

Fake accounts

A few weeks ago I found this article on a Swedish  newspaper site that somebody created this Facebook page but it was fake, but what "they" did was that they posted that special famous candy store were giving out free candy all day or if it was during a specific hour so a whole lot of people rush down there and they were demanding their candy!! This is so crazy, we could create a fake company, a fake person and nobody would know. Of course that candy store got in contact with Facebook telling them to close down the page.. so it all worked out. I just read in New york times about the same thing, and the trubble Facebook is having about this. Cuz they dont really know how to sort this out.. they cant demand like a document or something beacuse Facebook is for everybody right?

Facebook says it has always taken the problem seriously, and recently stepped up efforts to cull fakes from the site. “It’s pretty much one of the top priorities for the company all the time,” said Joe Sullivan, who is in charge of security at Facebook.

So is it right or wrong of Facebook to decline people any form of money or maybe just a sorry? In personal opinion Iam kind of in the middle, Facebook is the easiest social network we have out there and I would love to fint out how many accounts that are actually real or not! Just something to think about!  :)

Mahalo!

News travells fast

After this super dramatic crazy weekend I feel that I have to write something about it. Saturday the one of the two days that Honolulu/Waikiki are celebrating Halloween. Everybody is super exited and the party is just getting started and the freaking Tsunami warning alarm sets off!! For me and my friends who have not been here when this happens what to do is confusing. Some are staying kind of ignoring it and some are running to the mountains packing everything they have. I actually found about it over a text, then one minute later a call, and then 4 minutes later I head somebody talking about it on the street. After about 30-40 minutes I actually looked it up myself. The news were totally confusing that night because it said that it was only 1-2 meters waves coming in and that you could hang around in Waikiki but then why was everybody going up to the mountains and the fire trucks going around screaming “leave Waikiki”. My dad from Sweden looked up news from back home and was a better source then the radio or news online. Media has that effect on people and I got that know. Of course if this kind of thing happens again I will take it serious but I will also not let Media ruin my night. Why we trust media is a huge question I like to have the answer to, they should bring correct news but when they don’t know much they just excaudate everything and get people freaked out.

I found this video on YouTube, this is the Tsunami, and yeah if the waves were 5-6 meters evacuating Waikiki would be a good idea, but for this one? Nope.
