Verizon Finally Goes Naked







Verizon Finally Goes Naked

Verizon Finally Goes Naked 04/18/2005 06:48 PM

Despite promising it ages ago and then delay ing it repeatedly for reasons that didn't really make much sense, it looks like Verizon is finally offering "naked DSL" in the northeast. That means customers will be able to get DSL without getting the corresponding local telephone line. Gee, you think this has anything to do with Verizon finally getting around to offering a real VoIP service to go with that DSL? While there was a big ruckus over the FCC saying states can't require naked DSL, it's reasonable to expect both SBC and BellSouth to eventually jump on the naked DSL bandwagon when they have real VoIP offerings as well. For SBC, that may be when they close the deal to buy AT&T. For BellSouth... who knows. Considering they were really the first major telco to exper iment with VoIP they certainly are taking their sweet time offering it for real. Of course, you have to wonder what Verizon's CEO is going to have to say about this offering, considering he seems to think that customers who actually want decent, reasonable service are a problem.

It'll retail at $550 and that's with a two year agreement, so while it's expensive it isn't quite as steep as Sprint's PPC6601 at $630.

Naked lady sushi


Naked lady sushi 11/11/2003 08:04 PM
The hottest Japorn export since bukkake? Or a dehumanizing, exploitative stunt? The provocative trend of presenting sushi on the body of an au naturel female model migrates to the US. Chaos ensues. Please, please, be careful with the wasabi.
Chopsticks at the ready, patrons line up. Hours earlier, across town on the campus of the University of Washington, eight activists, mostly Asian-American women, express outrage at what they call the prostitution of sushi and the exploitation of women. They plot their strategy. (...)While the promoter and the sushi model say this melding of prandial and sexual is performance art, Bonzai's patrons --men and women of various ethnicities --say it merely adds to the restaurant's sensual vibe. Opponents say treating women like a serving platter reinforces attitudes that make domestic and sexual violence so prevalent.

Naked sushi in Seattle update. Dan Savage ridiculed both the "clenchbutts" for protesting naked sushi and the local media for giving them attention. His one criticism: "How come no boy plates?" In the interests of equal opportunity objectification, The Stranger sponsored Naked Doughnuts at the same restaurant on a recent Friday night. "Two good-looking guys will be laid out on the bar and covered with Top Pot doughnuts. . . . Ogle the boys, eat the donuts, fuck the clenchbutts." The restaurant owners invited the two men back for sushi night, so now you can eat sushi off naked women and naked men in Seattle. Bonzai gallery.

Naked Women And Wireless Security


Naked Women And Wireless Security 03/25/2005 09:47 PM
Yes, I'm a bit worried about what kind of people will find this post via Google in a few days, but... It appears that mobile phone security is suddenly getting a lot more attention -- and for some reason, it's got a lot to do with naked women. First, there was the whole Paris Hilton incident, where her naked camera phone photos were spread all over the internet due to weak server security from Danger and T-Mobile, and now comes the amazingly bizarre story of two cops who arrested a woman for drunk driving and then down loaded her naked camera phone photos to a PDA. No one seems to want to explain why a drunk driving arrest would involve checking out the photos on someone's phone. Then again, this case has a number of oddities, including the fact that the cop's partner later called the woman to ask her for a date. However, as the article points out, the cops might not have done anything illegal -- and someone even claims that this is no different than if someone had lost their wallet and it had nude photos inside. Except that doesn't seem quite right. This wasn't a case where the woman lost her phone. This was a situation where the cop clearly took it and then actively went through it, apparently looking for photos. That seems to go beyond the standard investigative technique needed to judge whether or not a driver is sober. Either way, it appears that pictures of naked women are suddenly driving forward the important discussion on increasing wireless security. People always said that porn leads the way towards technology innovation, but they probably didn't mean this way.

Court rules on Naked Barbie: We know art when we see it

An artist's use of the iconic Barbie doll in photographs depicting the Mattel toy without clothing and being assaulted by kitchen appliances is protected as "free speech" says a US Circuit Court. Upholding a decision by a lower court, the court of appeals said the works are obvious parodies and do not infringe on the company's copyright and trademark protection. Mattel had claimed people might think they were responsible for the caricatures and that their availability to the public could damage the brand and even hurt sales. At issue was a 78 image series by Utah artist Thomas Forsythe, shot in 1999 and titled "Food Chain Barbie."

Once widely available online, the series has been the subject of intense legal action by Mattel and only a few images remain available for download. In the latest ruling, a three-judge panel of the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously upheld an August 2001 ruling by US District Judge Ronald Lew. Following that earlier decision, which Mattel appealed, Mr Forsythe's attorney, Simon Frankel, told the press, "The ruling doesn't mean it's open season (to exploit products by) Mattel, it means there is a certain amount of breathing room for artists who want to use a commercial symbol that has tremendous cultural meaning, for purposes of artistic expression."

Speakeasy Going Naked With Their DSL --
Who Needs A Phone Company?


Speakeasy Going Naked With Their DSL --
Who Needs A Phone Company?
07/01/2004 06:37 PM
Speakeasy, continuing to cement their reputation as the customer-friendly broadband service provider, is apparently getting ready to announce a nationwide "naked DSL" offering that won't require a local phone line. It won't be cheap, but that seems to be the price of having a DSL provider that really tries to give customers what they want. In this case, that's the ability to have DSL without a local phone line. The company reports that many of their subscribers use mobile phones instead, and only have a local phone line so they can get DSL. Also, with an increasing number of people replacing landlines with VoIP, there's simply less need for a true local phone line. However, as the Broadband Reports article points out, this may necessitate a truck roll for installation, making it a bit more cumbersome and costly. It's still surprising that other broadband providers haven't started targeting the same audience. Speakeasy has shown that they've been able to get plenty of business, while charging something of a premium to let customers do what they want with the connection, including running servers or sharing their connection via WiFi.
