Controvery brews over Suicide
Girls-branded print zine
04/12/2004 08:45 PM

Fleshbot points to some hoo-ha around the yet-to-be-launched print magazine bearing the Suicide Girls brand:

Will the new Suicide Girls Magazine be over before it even begins? We've just received a copy of a legal notice signed by nine writers whose work was supposed to appear in the debut issue denying the magazine the right to print any articles submitted by them; according to our tipster, "The writers, who are all without contract, lost interest in the magazine when it became clear that it would be little more than a hipsterized Maxim with nipples." (Hmm, "a hipsterized Maxim with nipples" ... doesn't sound so bad to us, actually.) We'll keep you posted.
I've seen a copy of the letter. I'm told by writers and photographers involved that none were being paid; all were said to be contributing gratis to get a cool, underfunded project off the ground. Link to previous BB post on SG's print plans. Suicide Girls online? Alive and well, and apparently not as directly involved with the magazine as many had assumed.

UPDATE: Suicide Girls founder Sean tells BoingBoing: "SG Pin-up (that's the official name of the mag, advertisers don't like the name Suicide in the title - shocking, no?) is a licensee of SuicideGirls. A company in New York is creating the magazine, which Missy and I get to approve. It is my understanding the Publisher and the editor had some disagreements about the direction of the mag and the editor is pissed off with a capital P and is throwing some kind of fit. I'm sure the publisher will work it out and get us an issue to approve, everything I've seen so far has been really good, but I'm not involved in the production of the magazine so I don't know if the stuff I've seen will be in the final first issue or not. In any case, news of our magazines demise has been reported prematurely, I hope. I think they're just going through the kinds of things you go through when creating a new magazine. Although honestly, I have no idea, as I've never worked in publishing and my only contact has been with the publisher and the art director, both of whom I think are doing a great job with everything they've shown me. I sent them the link and I'm sure they'll respond to you as well, but feel free to print my comments."

Girls Vs. Boys: Girls Are Winning


Girls Vs. Boys: Girls Are Winning 09/07/2004 10:13 AM

This article in The Observer about the upcoming trend of girl gadgets happens to interview our buddies over at Shiny Shiny, which couldn't be a better choice, really. And by 'upcoming' I mean 'already eclipsed male spending,' at least in the US, with 14 percent more money being dropped last year by women than men.

Women are not so interested in how many megabytes it has, nor indeed whether it looks nice, just: "How well does it work?"

It's only when I buy something that ends up really sucking and languishing in the corner do I ever get the stern eye, which is how it should be.

NetNearU Brews Managed Services for
Tully's
06/30/2004 11:15 AM
NetNearU shifts its business model slightly to gain some former Cometa locations, including Tully's: NetNearU's business to date has been entirely focused on building an authentication and accounting platform that they can license to venues and network builders such as Cafe.com and CEDX. The company today tweaked its model to incorporate some former Cometa hotspot locations, according to a note from NetNearU's president and COO Cody Catalena. NetNearU didn't want to compete with its platforms licensees, but it had an opportunity to expand the network in a way that benefits them: the Tully's and similar managed services locations that they take over will allow free roaming from existing NetNearU partner networks' customers. The president's letter states unequivocally that NetNearU isn't establishing a separately branded managed services business. The Tully's locations will be labeled with the coffee vendor's identity....

Blosxom-Branded Knicknacks


Blosxom-Branded Knicknacks 12/11/2003 04:56 PM
Ever wish you could have Blosxom with you wherever you go? Over your morning coffee, at the gym, break room at work, changing your baby's onesie. The Blosxom CafePress store has you covered (literally) with more Blosxom-branded knicknacks than you can shake a stick at.

Thanks to the spyrograph-like talents of Matt Barger and incomparable artistic flair of Bryan Bell, that very special Blosxom logo is now available in vivid colour for you to sport with glee. You'll also notice the nifty new Blosxom slogan, "blog for the zen of it," a Bryan Bell adaptation of my original slogan--and much, much better.

I pulled this together after the second request for Blosxom-branded brickabrack, the latest by Dave Walker on the Blosxom mailing list:

As I sat at my desk drinking my morning coffee from a styrofoam cup, I thought to myself, "gee, it sure would be nice to have a Blosxom coffee mug, maybe with the pretty, subtle Blosxom greyscale blossom logo." It's 8 hours later, and I still think it's a good idea.
I've marked each item up only a buck or two, all of which will be donated to my local schools to promote math and science education in memory of those brave souls who died w hen Columbia fell from the sky.

Don't expect to use your branded GSM
outside your carriers network
06/14/2004 08:09 AM

I have a GSM telephone by T-Mobile and when I went overseas this time I took it with me figuring I could pop a sim card into it and use it in the country I was visiting. Turned out since the phone was a branded one it was locked out from being able to be used in another country. I found a unlock code for it on a website and weighed using it but decided against it.

Instead I bought a cheap phone and will use that on future travels. The true test will be when I get back and try the Sim from T-Mobile in the new phone. It seems a group of consumers are pissed of about this lockout feature and are suing to force companies to unlock the phones we buy.

I must admit that in the United States I do not see cell phones for-sale stand-alone seems most are branded. As consumers become more educated this will change. [ Boing Boing] [Popular Science] [Unlock Me] [GSM Software]
