Magazine Review

The law of gravity provides that what goes up must come down.  This was realized too late by three men, all former Chief Executive Officers of big companies like Starbucks, JetBlue and Motorola. Fortune Magazine interviews these men on a topic considered by most ex-CEO’s, their wives and even children as taboo.

Fortune Magazine talked with Jim Donald, former CEO of Starbucks and who managed to raise the share price of the company from $26 to $39 during the two years he held office. As soon as the sales dropped, he was also dropped like a hot potato by the previous chairman Howard Schultz who reinstalled himself as Starbucks chief executive.

Fortune Magazine’s interview with former Motorola CEO (who made millions out of RAZR) Ed Zander. When the succeeding product fumbled and profits went down, he was also forced to go down along with it.

Of the three, Fortune Magazine found former JetBlue CEO David Neeleman to be relaxed and not nervous at all durign the interview. Reason: he has his future planned out.

If you’re waiting to be discovered then Seventeen Magazine’s Search For New Models will be of interest to you. If you want to be in the Magazine then be a Seventeen Model.

If you are between 14 to 20 years of age, live somewhere in teh the New York metro area then you can be the next Seventeen model. Just drop by at the office every Friday between 4 to 5 PM and tell them you are there for the Seventeen Reader Model Open Call.

This is perhaps the easiest chance you will have to become a Seventeen Model as it does not require you to present any modeling portfolio or photos. Just show yourself au naturelle (with clothes of course!) with less makeup if possible. Bring your mom or dad or your guardian if you are belwo 18 years old.

PC Magazine interviewed its own staff as to which tech items they would like to have if they get stranded on an island. Majority of those interviewed settled for luxurious but functional stuff like the Netflix Player by Roku, Personal UV Monitor with Exposure Timer and the Wacom Bamboo Fun.

However, there were those who wished for an Eflare Flashing LED Beacon which is the traditional way to get the attention of planes whether or not they are looking for you. One of the best responses during PC Magazine’s survey was the one given by their Desktop Analyst Joel Santo Domingo who chose the Iridium 9505a with an optional roll up solar panel. This gadget can help you get an SOS provided you get a signal. But hey! This phone is touted to work anywhere in the world so try it.

People Magazine is at it again–people watching! And this time it caught up with Sex and the City stars Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristin Davis. Kim Cattrall and Cynthia Nixon.

Sex and the City The Movie staretd filming last September and it’s now showing in theaters all over the world. There is more reason for FHM Magazine to put these stylish girls on its online pages.

While the Sex and the City girls are known for their liberailty, wit and sarcasm, their stilletos have not been lost on FHM Magazine and on thousands of viewers of this popualr television show as well.

See these fashionistas in their frivolous albeit exciting get-ups only at FHM Magazine.

 

Scarlett Johannson has been tagged one of the sexiest women and FHM Magazine is reminding you guys of this with a tantalizing photo of the Johannson.

FHM Magazine caught Johannson on camera during a recent shoot of “He’s Just Not That Into You”. Is Johannson naked? Your guess is as good as anybody else’s. But here’s one for the books.

FHM quoted Johannson as saying “I’m not wearing this fucking bra. I’m going naked” during the shooting of the scientific film “The Island” in 2005. Anyone who does not agree to that?

Wifi and Hot Spot surfing is a hit these days not only among CEO’s  and young professionals but even among students.   The question of security is thus an important issue that PC Magazine tackled in its latest article.

PC Magazine cautioned surfers on the security (or lack of it) involved when surfing in public places where just about anyone smart enough with the Internet can get access to whatever you are typing or the sites you are visiting.

While a VPN can assure you of safe surfing as it makes use of encryption, not all surfers are however lucky and privileged enough to have this.  To make sure you are safe, you have suite up which means you should have anti-spyware, anti-virus and a two-way firewall.  PC Magazine also advices you to wise up and make sure that your security software is regualrly updated.  And last but not least, make sure you check for Verisign.

 

Fortune Magazine hit the nail right on the head when it featured a story about a 27-year old systems analyst who admitted seh adn her husband are working overtime just to subsidize their gas expenses.

In an interview with Fortune Magazine, Kathleen Finan said she has no choice but to take a car to work since she has a 15-month old son. As a saving measure, she saved up for a hybrid but still looking for savings from that car.

Fortune Magazine said Finan and her husband, who works 40 hours a week, have to work an extra 10 or more hours just to raise money to buy gas.  How cruel can this world be?
