Best store bought healthy bread?
- sandrina Feb 26, 2007 11:46 AM
I'd like your opinions on what you deem is the tastiest, yet healthful brand of bagged, grocery store bread you've found. I would prefer to buy whole grain breads that are not loaded with sugars, but still are flavorful and great for sandwiches or just plain toast. Trying to eat healthier this year. Please help me find a good brand. Thanks!
re: hotoynoodle
We tried one of the Ezekiels and wound up giving it to the birds - sorry, I know the stuff has its fans, or it wouldn't sell so well. We do like Trader Joe's own brand of flourless sprouted wheat bread, the version with salt. It makes excellent toast, and it's pretty nice for sandwiches, too, without the aggressively "THIS IS *GOOD* FOR YOU, DAMMIT!" taste that we found so unpleasant in the Ezekiel.
re: Will Owen
lol, step away from the bread knife, sir.. i'm not keen on nutritional sanctimony myself, but i liked it chewiness.
i haven't found any trader joe's breads i'd buy a 2nd time.
re: hotoynoodle
just a note (keep in mind that i DO really like their breads but), ezekial breads are not 'flourless' like they like to claim. their grains and seeds may be sprouted and they definately do not use any white, refined flours in most of the breads, BUT even the sprouted grains and seeds etc are ground into flour. no, its not white flour, or even the same as most finely ground whole wheat flours, but it IS still ground up grain, which is flour. it STILL spikes blood sugar levels. now, am i saying their bread is bad tasting, bad for you, or anything like that? No way. i just wish they wouldnt write flourless on some of their labels.
re: ben61820
I wonder how you know this about Ezekial breads? I believe their labels claim they use a sprouted wheat mash. I also believe they add gluten probably in a dry form. Making a flourless bread is certainly possible. We do it. We add no flour whatsoever to the mash or the starter and no gluten and we get a terrific sprouted whole grain loaf and we can make our flat bread without flour either. The only use we have for flour is dusting the peel when making our pita bread.
re: Will Owen
I like the Ezekiel bread toasted with peanut butter. It does take a littel getting used to and some varieties are better than others. Alvarado St. Bakery breads are more edible.
When we lived in the midwest, our favorite bread was Brownberry (Catherine Clark) bread. I haven't found this in Washington, though Orowheat has something similar. Mostly though I buy Trade Joes 9 Grain.
re: AnneInMpls
I concur, Brownberry 100% Whole Wheat is as good as I've had for commercially made store bought bread. Makes terrific toast. Not so fond of their other offerings.
re: AnneInMpls
Hi, I suggest you write to www.brownberry.com and tell them you like it (as I did) because they don't make it any more. They replaced it with the cheap puffy junk bread like everyone else makes. So sad :-(
re: Jack H
If you read Eldon Kreider below you will see that it's coming back!
re: paulj
I have bad news for you, folks: Brownberry seems to have discontinued the Catherine Clark 100% Natural whole wheat bread. I have been packing loaves in my suitcase to take my children in N.Y.C. and San Francisco, since they couldn't get it there! Now I don't know what I'm going to do. The Arnold's 100% that they're touting as a substitute is only a pale imitation.
re: cchristi
That would be bad news, its their only offering I care for. Haven't bought a loaf lately but will look, thought it was still available locally (Iowa).
re: cchristi
Brownberry 100% Natural Whole Wheat Bread is still available in Minnesota. Maybe you could drive past the Twin Cities on your way to visit your children?
This store delivers, but you might be out of range. :-)
Me, I usually buy "natural wheat" rather than the 100% whole wheat. Don't know why, but I like it better.
re: AnneInMpls
Oh, woe is me! Ccristi had it right - the Twin Cities were just slow in making the change. Brownberry has now been replaced here by Arnold's (bleh bleh blech).
I'm now re-reading this thread closely for a new healthy bread, as I can't stand Arnold's. Has anyone else found a good replacement for Brownberry Natural Wheat bread?
re: AnneInMpls
The same thing has happened in Chicago. The Red loaf of Brownberry was the only commercial bread we bought. The Arnold "red" loaf is disgusting. Like tan wonder bread. Do I get the bread machine out and do the weekly baking from now on? Is there any other commercial bread out there to take the place of the Brownberry????? Help... someone!!!
re: twodales
Brownberry breads dissappeared from store shelves in Chapel Hill, NC in March. It's now Sept. Is the old bread comming back? I've written several emails to Arnold's to complain but cannot get a reply. I guess this country is going to out-source bread too.
re: AnneInMpls
Old formula is coming back week of June 11. Customer complaints backed with stopping buying is behind the switch. See http://www.suntimes.com/business/4138...
Story starts : "A consumer revolt by Midwestern baby boomers is bringing Brownberry's Natural Wheat bread -- original recipe -- back to store shelves June 11. Parent Arnold Foods Co. introduced an airier, sweeter version in April. Big mistake."
This is a rare case where debasing a product backfired big time and where the company admitted that they had made a mistake.
re: Eldon Kreider
Hooray! This is great news. I've tried every other whole-wheat bread that my co-op carries, and nothing else matches up to the original Brownberry "red-label" loaf. My local bakery's whole wheat baguettes are OK, but they're a pain to make sandwiches with.
Bread again next week - I can hardly wait!
re: Eldon Kreider
Thank goodness the company listened and made a good business decision, my confidence is nearly restored, pending a retest of the bread.
re: cchristi
Health Nut Bread and Dannon Yogurt… The Good Old Days-
I LOVED the Brownberry Natural Health Nut Bread back in the late 70s/early 80s. It was a small loaf (tiny) with wonderful taste and chunks of walnuts that really POPPED with flavor when you toasted it. I searched high and low and, a couple of years ago, found it at the Farm Fresh in Virginia Beach. It brought back such memories. No bread comes close to it and never will. :) Once again, I can not locate any. I live within driving distance to Raleigh, NC. Does anyone know where I can buy it and is it the original recipe??? Thanks, Nikki. P.S. I REALLY miss the old Dannon Yogurt that came in the cardboard container that you always had to stir the fruit up from the bottom. It had a WONDERFUL Twang (like yogurt should) and the texture was AWESOME. Most of the yogurt today taste like and feels like pudding. There was also frozen yogurt that tasted like yogurt, not ice cream. Where can I get that??? Any help? I have tried the Greek Yogurt at Lowes Foods... not happy with that. Has my taste changed that much??? firstname.lastname@example.com
Bran for Life Bread is also very good, 5 grams of fiber per slice...here's a link for more information and what the wrapper looks like...
I like Whole Foods 100% whole wheat bread - sliced bread in a bag. I find there is a difference between the organic version and the conventional version. I prefer the conventional version because the texture is closer to good old american sandwich bread. The loaf keeps a long time and freezes well.
re: Augusta
YES! Their Colorado Cracked Wheat is my favorite store-bought bread, especially when it is toasted! It has a delicious nuttiness in flavor.
Ezekiel, is this the brand that is usually in the frozen food section? I think I may have seen this, as well as some frozen bagels. I could be wrong though.
Vermont Country Bread 100% whole wheat. (Not the "soft" kind that is larger). One key in checking out breads is the slice size (compare weights in grams on the nutritional info). If you choose larger slices, it's more calories, of course, but sooooo many people ignore this factor.
I use Ezekiel bread for packaging....
re: Karl S
I think that Karl is referring to the products made by The Vermont Bread Company, and I recommend them highly. I buy their organic whole wheat and/or their organic multigrain. Note that, while all of their products are of high quality, they are not all organic.
Another brand that I can recommend is the bread from the Alvarado Street Bakery.
re: Ted in Central NJ
Yes, Vermont Bread Company. My bad.
I used to work at a food co-op that had their own wood-fired brick oven. That bread was glorious. Perfect crumb to crust ratio, nice chewy texture...I could go on and on...unfortunately I don't work there anymore. www.potsdamcoop.com
While in the states, my conventional 2nd choice is Freihofer's Oat Nut bread. It makes beautiful toast and great BLT's. The nuts in the bread give it a nice texture and taste.
Since moving to Canada I've discovered there is no Freihofer's and I can't bring myself to buy the par-baked "artisanal breads" at the neighborhood specialty bakery shops. If I can't have the real stuff, I won't have it at all. I have yet to discover a real bakery but, I just got here and haven't explored much.
So, now, I'm partial to the Bon Matin's GrainEntiers line of 12 Grain but, I usually prefer a sturdier bread. If you know what I mean.
re: rds246
I agree with rds246. As a Weight Watcher - this is one of the best breads for balance of flavour, texture, and calories. It's delicious.
re: rds246
Concur w/ Milton's "low carb."
Makes good cinnamon toast as well as french toast (milton's, egg whites, a little skim milk, cinnamon, vanilla, splenda)...
re: sandrina
It says low-carb on the package (get mine at TJ's too), and it's more high fiber than necessarily low low carb... 5g of fiber ain't bad though.
re: ryssiebee
I also like their oatmeal bread. It's a good option when I'm stuck with convenience store shopping, or no bread. Not sure how Whole Foods varies from region to region, but I love the Eli's Health Bread.
re: ryssiebee
My wife also tends to buy PF 12 Grain quite often when she doesn't go for a local bakery's offerings.
re: piccola
I believe the Arnold line is the same as Oroweat on the West Coast. Don't know about the wholesomeness, but I've been a fan of Oroweat's Honey Wheat Berry for decades.
re: Gary Soup
Unfortunately some of the healthy-seeming Oroweat varieties have hfcs. I was rather disappointed when I discovered that. Have to agree with [most of] the other posters re: Ezekiel's though - I tried it once and ended up feeding most of the loaf to the squirrels.
re: cookie monster
I agree. I liked Oroweat and then I read the ingrediant list. There's HFCS and a major list of preservatives. Although, IIRC, Oroweat is coming out with an organic line.
To the OP, the best thing to do is to read the ingrediant list. Even supermarket bread, for the most part, seems local. I like Alvarado Street, but don't know how widely distributed they are.
re: Gary Soup
I'd be saddened to hear that Oroweat here (SF Bay Area) is the same as Arnold back east - *nothing* by Oroweat is as good as Arnold Brick Oven white (if they even make that anymore) or Pepperidge Farm sandwich bread. Grr.
I have been lately tweaked to discover two things about local bread: 1) the extra thin white and ww breads have disappeared (used to be Northridge, which looked a lot like the Oroweat package). Gone! and 2) in three supermarkets, I could not find a single loaf of whole grain bread that did not have HFCS. I didn't think to try Whole Foods - duh on my part.
I find Alvarado Street bread to be utterly tasteless in all its incarnations. Like a sliced-up O-Cello sponge. I was also disappointed to find that the Borther Juniper breads they have at the co-op up the street are dry and bland. I have the first Peter Reinhart book and when the Struan first appeared in SF, I got all excited! And then disappointed. It's not far from Alvarado Street bread. Tastes like too fast a rise with too much leavening,
re: jdub1371
You wrote:

Nothing owned by Oroweat is owned by Oroweat. That company, and quite a few others, are owned by the Mexican company that owns Bimbo bread.
re: jdub1371
jdub- Arnold Brick Oven White is alive and well here on the East Coast. It's the only white bread I actually like.
re: piccola
You've GOT to be joking. I've got a big sweet tooth, and Arnold's MG is inedibly sweet. I FOUND this thread by searching the internet to see if others found it so. Yecch
It seems like 95% of the breads out there all have HFCS. I like the Miltons breads and I also like the Costco/Kirkland Multi Grain bread they just started making about a year ago. They have no HFCS in them, they are pretty hearty and 2 loaves go for under $5.
re: rednails
Alvarado is the only one I've found with a flavor I like . . . count me in on the Ezekiel cardboard haters.
Both are sold frozen/fridgerated - sprouted ingredients.
Ezekiel all the way. It is yeast free, flourless, sprouted, and VERY easy for your body to digest and use! The cinnamon raisin is delicious!
I see you're from Queens. You can find these breads at most health food stores in their freezer section. Many places in Manhattan have them as well. I was eating the Ezekiel bread (ugh) but have now found a much better tasting bread made by the same baker.
7 Sprouted Grains made by Food for Life. Have a look: ... http://www.foodforlife.com/
There's also another bread made by a NJ-based company that tastes great. I believe they're called The Baker. The bread is called Yoga Bread. The standouts in that bread are cranberries and pumpkin seeds. Surprisingly, the combination works REALLY well.
re: Cheese Boy
I'm guessing that bread from The Baker is available only in the mid-Atlantic region but I could be wrong. Their breads are really delicious and much better than the run-of-the-mill breads in most supermarkets. You can plug your zip code into their website to see if there's a store near you that carries their products.
re: ambrose
Ambrose, I did just that -- and maybe, just maybe, I have a location available closer by. We'll see. Thank you !!! (It's a supermarket).
re: Cheese Boy
A couple of posters (see below) have found The Baker's products on sale close to the expiration date. I have never had this problem (I get my bread at a local Stop 'N Shop and it's always fresh) but I do agree that this is something to watch for. Unlike some commercial breads that will last for weeks, The Baker's products will not.
re: ambrose
Ambrose! I'm happy to report that our local supermarket carries Yoga Bread. It's no where with the other breads -- they isolated it on its own near the deli for some reason. Anyhow, I'm spared the schlep to the health food store and I can just purchase it right nearby. Thank you for supplying the much appreciated LINK.
re: Cheese Boy
Cheese Boy, I'm glad you were able to find this. Funny, but the Yoga Bread is one I've never had. However, I am spoiled because I live within 20 miles of Milford, where The Baker is based. If I get desperate and can't find one of their products at the supermarket, I can drive to Milford!
re: ambrose
Ambrose, the next thing you're going to tell me is you get their breads greatly discounted. Right? Go ahead, rub it in. : )
re: Cheese Boy
I think breads from The Baker are very good. They have a good variety of breads and rolls. I like that they sell in some small packages.
However, I often find that "the Baker" breads are stale on the shelf. I'm guessing they deliver once or twice a week. Choose carefully...
re: val ann c
I have tried breads from "The Baker", and have to agree with you val ann c. It's hard to find a loaf that has more than 1 day left for the expiration date.
re: val ann c
Have a look at this. What do you make of it, and how do they expect us to interpret the six months comment? Scroll down to 'What is the shelf-life of The Baker's products?' ... http://www.the-baker.com/faqs.aspx
Their bread is very good regardless.
re: Cheese Boy
Wow! Don't they just use a regular clip to close the bread bags? I'm sure some air sneaks into the bags. Also, if I remember correctly, they don't double bag. Their organic line must contain some type of long life preservative to last 6 months unopened. From 6 months to 8 days just doesn't make much sense to me. By the way, my loaf lasted only about 3 to 4 days opened when it started to grow moldy.
re: Cheese Boy
Thanks Cheese Boy, for recommending The Baker's "yoga bread". I got some at whole foods. It's very tasty.
re: val ann c
Glad to hear you like it! Hopefully you got it fresh. I enjoy eating that bread just as is. It's very tasty. Happy to hear you agree. : )
re: Cheese Boy
The yoga bread was fresh when I bought it. It is holding up well in my fridge. A minute in the toaster perks it up.
I agree, it's good eaten plain. I suspect it would be good with cream cheese...
re: val ann c
Val, it's great with *any* cheese ... LOL.
not sure how healthy it is but I really like the Thomas' Lite Multi-Grain English Muffins. They have 100 calories and I think 8 grams of fiber. While I am trying to limit the HFCS in my diet, I must admit that I haven't checked whether these contain it. But I have been trying to increase Fiber in my diet. I've tried some of those dense breads at the supermarket(Meistermacher? or something like that) and have found them to be pretty good.
I love Ace Bakeries " walnut and raisin loaf"....not cheap, $6 (CAD) for loaf but is delicious!!!!!! It is my house bread....sadly, for all of you, I think that it is only available in Toronto Canada...maybe not, I do know that they sell their frozen baguettes at Costco ....(not cooked, you buy and bake...yum!!!!!)...so perhaps you could find the walnut raisin whole grain loaf...since it is so rich and good for you...it tends to last me 5 or 6 days.....great with cheeses, with anything or just toasted and lavishly spread with unsalted butter!
re: chaource
I heart Ace Bakery. I have dreams about the organic granary bread.
re: chaource
Count my vote in with ACE bakery breads. I haven't met a product from them that I didn't love. Their organic white (due to a health condition, I must avoid fibre) is denser like real, homemade bread as opposed to that fluffy junk you find in supermarkets. Their hamburger rolls are light and fluffy and made tasty with the addition of sesame seeds. If you can find their frozen baguettes, do check them out: all natural, and to die for with a generous quantity of butter.
In the Midwest, Natural Ovens from Manitowoc, Wisconsin, kosher per the CRC. We initially tried it because my husband was born in Manitowoc. Many varieties. We like the Millet due to the crunchy texture. All are good: Lots of fiber, 2 points per slice per WW.
The BAD news is that we learned last week that they will no longer be delivering their breads down to St. Louis!!! Arrgh!
Any ideas for good bread in St. Louis????
Thanks, p.j.
re: p.j.
There is more possible bad news. Natural Ovens was acquired by Alpha Baking Company of Chicago in March. They may be serious about keeping Natural Ovens as a premium line. However, suspicion is in order considering the following from Crain's Chicago Business: "The Alpha-Natural Ovens deal caught the industry by surprise. Most of Natural Ovens' business is retail, while Alpha made 80% of its $170 million in sales last year to commercial customers. Alpha supplies buns to the Burger King chain and to local Portillo's Hot Dogs Inc.
But Alpha — founded in 1979 after Michael and Lawrence Marcucci left Gonnella to strike out on their own — has been built on a succession of acquisitions, ranging from Kreamo Bakers Inc. in South Bend, Ind., in the '70s to S. Rosen's Bakery Inc. in Chicago in 1982 and National Baking Co. in Chicago in 1997."
Milton's Multi-Grain Plus Bread sold at both Costco and BJ's. Absolutly wonderful toasted. Really dense and really moist, also low fat (but you wouldn't know it). www.miltonsbaking.com/
re: othervoice
The reason the MIlton's breads toast well is that they are fairly sweet. People wanting breads without an excess of sweeteners should be careful with them. Also, the slices are rather big; the equivalent of 2 standard bread loaf slices. People watching their calories need to realize that 2 slices of Milton's is almost like having 4 slices of standard size bread.
I don't know if you are near Kroger but their Private Selection Whole Wheat or Whole Wheat Flax Seed is wonderful and $1.89 (with Kroger card!) It's not as dry as some other whole wheat breads (yes, it may have corn syrup in it, but to me, that's outweighed by the fact that Whole Wheat flour is the first ingredient). If I'm looking for whole wheat bread, the first ingredient must be whole wheat flour; often times, the front label is deceiving. Several of the Private Selection breads have enriched wheat flour so I pass those up.
The Flax Seed bread toasted with peanut butter and raspberry jam is one of my favorite weekday breakfasts.
Milton's has a bread that is high in fiber but lower in sugar. Look for the bag that reads "a HINT of honey" it has 90 cal. per slice with 5g of fiber. We also like Martin's whole wheat potato bread for sandwiches and a healthier version of French toast. I agree with magfitz about Thomas' new light E. muffins. I also found the Stop and Shop store brand of light rye bread with caraway is a good foundation for my turkey sandwiches.I once tried Ezekiel bread and when I fed it to the birds I felt guilty of cruelty to the avian community!
Shasha bread is great (has a yellow label)- expecially their spelt bread only 150 calories and 2 grams of fat for two slices. Check out www.shashabread.com if you want more info on their products etc....I am Canadian so I buy it here but I think it's also available in the US at WholeFoods
re: lambersky12
Yes, I like their heart shaped ginger snaps as well (both regular and spelt).
When Pigs Fly, hands down! Healthy & hearty, you could live in this stuff alone. Whole Foods in your area sells them.
I second (third?) Vermont Bread Company if you don't have a stand-alone bakery or the time to make it yourself. VBC doesn't have any preservatives and the ingredients are recognizable - same stuff you'd use making your own bread. So there's no funky plasticy aftertaste. And they have "soft" breads and chunky breads. The only think I miss when buying VBC bread v. from the baker/making my own - the crust isn't thick enough! But no "shelf" store bought bread I've tried has thick crust, is it a requirement?
To me all this "multi grain" type stuff isn't healthy. It's only healthy if it's 100% whole wheat and there's no HFCS. Ideally it would have minimal added sugar.
My favorite bread that meets this criteria is Oasis sprouted flaxseed bread. It is the best all around bread of those I've tried. Great taste, makes good toast, works as a sandwich bread. While I do like the Ezekiel sprouted whole wheat bread I like it much better as a toast than a sandwich bread.
On my most recent trip to Fairway (Redhook), I purchased a loaf of the Vermont Bread Company bread. Unfortunately, there wasn't much selection available, so I opted for the Oat Bran Oatmeal. It's not one of the organic ones, but the list of ingredients was close enough to what I'm looking for in a bread. For anyone interested, this particular loaf contains:
Stone Ground Whole Wheat Flour
Rolled Oats
Vital Wheat Gluten
Molasses, Honey, Canola Oil
Barley Malt, Oat Bran
Cultured Wheat Starch
Salt, Yeast, Soy Flour
May contain Sesame Seeds
The upside: This bread is nice and hearty, with an almost nutty and slightly sweet taste when eaten right out of the bag. It's honey sweetness is nicely balanced by the stronger flavors of the molasses and barley malt. It makes for a nice sandwich. It only contains 2g of sugar per slice with 70 calories.
The downside: Only 2g of fiber per slice (not too bad). Also, it didn't seem to toast all that well for me. I prefer my toast dark and crunchy. Vermont Bread doesn't double bag, so freshness may be an issue if you decide to leave the bread on the counter, which I normally do. Well, I purchased the bread on Sunday, and today (Wednesday), it's still nice and moist in it's package.
By the way, I also came across some "The Baker" loaves of bread. Of course, each one I looked at was due to expire the next day.
re: sandrina
I'm from Minn. and new to this website - was looking for something else and came across your earlier post asking for readers' thoughts on favorite grocery-store bought bread. Anyway, I very much enjoy a bread found in local grocery stores titled New England Brown Bread (Brown Bread). Around here, it runs about $2.90 for a 24oz loaf. Made by Pan-O-Gold Baking Co. I've eaten it for years. Before discovering this bread, I was a fan of Mrs. Brownberry's bread - still enjoy that bread, but prefer the Brown Bread. For grocery store bought bread, I think it may meet your original quest for "tastiest, yet healthful brand of bagged, grocery store bread" - and it's labeled organic. Ingredients (form the label): Organic crushed whole wheat, water, organic wheat flour, honey, wheat gluten, yeast, liquid soybean oil, sea salt, vinegar, ascorbic acis as a dough conditioner, enzymes. fwiw, each slice is 2 grams of fiber and 90 calories.
Why I really like it is the use of crushed whole wheat. When you make a sandwich, the bread crumbles (a little bit). I like the crumbly (word?) texture for toast. Note: the company makes similar looking/packaged bread that also uses organic wheat, but only the company's Brown Bread uses the "crushed" whole wheat. I've rambled long enough. Happy toasting.
Not sure if you can get this outside the New York metropolitan area, but Bread Alone has come a long long way since I first tried it a few years ago. They're a small producer and can be hard to find, lucky for me they are always at the Union Square Farmers' Market. I've seen it in my local health food store and occasionally at Whole Foods. They make a wonderful whole wheat sourdough. (Of course, I haven't paid much attention to the sugar or fiber content, but darn it's tasty.)
This may not be the tastiest choice, but if your looking to eat healthier this year, try eating unleaven breads like pita, lavash, Armenian cracker bread.
I love bread, and since switching my diet to using about 80% unleaven breads about three years ago the benefits to my health have amazed me.
re: Infomaniac
Pita bread is leavened with yeast.
re: Karl S
Then that definitely throws my 80% number
But if you buy the right kind, it works well when trying to eat healthy.
I was at Hy-Vee here lately and picked up a loaf of Amana whole wheat bread. We pretty much eat Sara Lee when I don't go to Hy-Vee, because you can get a loaf of wholegrain bread, although you have to read the label carefully to make sure you get one of their varieties without HFCS (why does that stuff need to be in bread, anyway?) But this Amana bread (says it's made exclusively for Hy-Vee) was really good--wide loaves, no HFCS, just good bread.
As I sit here eating my mac and cheese (yes, it SNOWED today in NYC), I thought I'd weigh in on this (and please forgive me for not scrolling through again as I know this brand has been mentioned on this thread) . . .
I'm a big fan of Ezekial, the 7 grain stuff. I'm not at all a health food nut, though, like you, I'm trying to eat healthier. I have to say, I really like this bread; it tastes good and I look forward to eating it. I don't think it tastes like bread that's merely there to be "good for you," and I have a very low tolerance for eating anything just because it's healthier or lower in fat and calories (the light Thomas English Muffins just suck -- I threw out half a package yesterday). So, at least try the Ezekial if you're looking for a healthier option.
Now, back to my ridiculously fattening mac-and-cheese.
re: bebevonbernstein
If you have a Wegman's near you they make excellent whole grain and seed breads. Heads and shoulders above any regular supermarket brand. Also, La Brea Bakery breads are available freshly baked at Acmes in NJ. It may be available elsewhere. Their whole grain breads are pretty good.
re: Ellen
It's been mentioned above, but the products of Natural Ovens of Manitowoc, WI are pretty nice and offer quite a variety. They've got a bunch of whole=grain breads, nice bagels, cookies, and hearty muffins. Each package comes with a liner of healthy-eating, healthy-food information.
Nice stuff. We still like to go with Whole Foods' twelve-grain and seeds loaf, which is great for toast.
re: MikeLM
Oh yeah, I forgot about Whole Foods. They're good too.
I buy Mens Bread in the frozen section at Whole Foods...Low carb, healthy, and delicious toasted....
I love the Seeduction bread from Whole Foods. Not cheap, but oh, so tasty. I've even served it sliced and warmed at dinner parties to great acclaim.
Any bread from the Silver Bell bakery is great. The ingredients list is short, they use no sweetener, and the taste is deep and wonderful. You can find it in any Polish market, such as [Kurowycky, sob], Baczyniski on 2nd Avenue at 7th St. or the shops in Williamsburg.
Just don't expect Wonder "Bread" texture.
The best widely available bread around me is Ace Bakery baguettes. The flat out best bread I can buy in a store is only available in a few stores in Southeast Michigan and Northern Ohio, Zingerman's. You can mail order it though and you owe it to yourself to try it.
re: davebough
hmmm, baguettes don't really qualify as 'healthy' bread.
rudy's organic makes good products, as does french meadow bakery and vogel's.
re: davebough
The Giant Eagle chain make a very respectable loaf of bread in their bakeries but my preferred loaf(if I don't make it myself) is from Breadsmith. Their baguette is 95.9 as good as anything I ever had in Quebec city or Montreal and just a hair under what I can make myself. They also have a great sourdough formula and give it the proper fermentation period.
Schwebel's bakes the best Jewish-style rye bread, but it is difficult to locate in many areas.
I prefer to bake my own white sandwich bread, but I now use King Arthur's whole wheat white flour.
My daughter developed a taste for traditional pumpernickel when she was a exchange student in Germany during the summer of 2004, and it gave me a chance to brush up on my technique.
My family has been to Penang, Malaysia lately and we came across this bakery called Adventist Bakery. They baked all sorts of healthy bread and we found one variety called Sprouted Bread extremely special. Full of fibres and there is no flour added. I wonder whether we can f ind this bread in New York city? Their website http://www.adventistbakery.com/
re: robinong
You can find Alvarado Street Bakery products in NYC if you want sprouted grain bread. Fairway carries it with their health food items, and IIRC,
Westerly Natural Market does also.
Alvarado's Breads --> http://www.alvaradostreetbakery.com/p...
I had been buying Arnold burger and hot dog rolls because they did not contain HFCS but the most recent package that I purchased on Saturday does list HFCS about halfway down the ingredient list. I sent a Email to Bimbo bakeries, who owns the Arnold brand, and asked then why they chose to us HFCS when the market is clearly turning away from it but I have not received a reply.
I am wondering when they made this change and what bread and rolls can I buy that doesn't contain that insidious ingredient?
I'm a big fan of Dave's Killer Breads. Lots of choices, but all very good. Their motto -- "Just Say No to Bread on Drugs". There's a pretty cool backstory to this bread involving Dave, a man who had a not-so-stellar past who turned things around and now makes really great breads. And while it's not "bread" per se, I do want to put in a plug for Dave's amazing Sin Dawg. http://daveskillerbread.com/
It's an old thread but . . . If you have access to a New York area Costco, their Multigrain bread in the green wrapper is excellent. Good tasting plain, not sweet, no molasses overcharge. Plus it makes great crunchy toast. It's 140 calories in a 53g slice with 5g fiber. When I need to eat healthy I make a grilled tomato sandwich for breakfast and grilled zucchini for lunch. That's plenty of filling fiber for not many calories.

HP busts out new ProLiant Gen9 servers

Oracle revs up Sparc M6 chip for seriously big iron
Re: 256 socket Xeon
I have never worked with IBM kit so had to quickly learn what this architecture looked like.
That's not SMP. Processors only have direct access to local memory and I/O within their own "Processor Book". The books are then linked together using an "SMP Fabric". SMP in this context is a creative marketing phrase. That design, if you ignore the proprietary language and marketing, looks just like NUMA.
You won't find 32 processor systems that are true SMP because true SMP doesn't scale to that many processors without hitting serious performance bottlenecks. Read the "basic concept" section in this wiki. It explains the problem NUMA was designed to solve very well.
Re: 256 socket Xeon
"...But Linux scaled awfully bad on 64 cpus...."
That used to be the case several years ago, but is not the case today. That's old FUD.
"...BTW, the SGI Altix and SU servers are clusters. They are using NUMA. And NUMA is regarded as a cluster. NUMA is the same thing as Cluster. Read here if you dont believe me:..."
No it's not. When the author of that article says "One can view NUMA as a tightly coupled form of cluster computing" he's making an analogy. He's not saying the two are the same. In a cluster, each system runs its own instance of an operating system and can boot / shutdown separately to the others. That's the litmus test.
Re: 256 socket Xeon
"...But earlier SPARC servers was also SMP, for instance the Sun M9000 with 64 cpus. So, yes, I know the difference between SMP and NUMA, I am talking about it, am I not?..."
Yes you're talking about it, but no I'm afraid you don't know the difference between SMP and NUMA. Lets drill a bit deeper into your example, the M9000.
Actually, we can start with the diagram on page 22 of the M5000, and the following sentence that says:
"SPARC Enterprise M8000 and M9000 servers feature multiple system boards that connect to a common crossbar."
If you have a design where sockets on a system board only have access to limited local memory, and must traverse an interconnect, like a crossbar, to access memory on another system board, then that is a NUMA, or NUMA derived design. It's most certainly not SMP. An SMP design is where all CPUs have equal access to to all memory. The problem with that is it doesn't scale well, hence the reason why NUMA was invented.
Re: 256 socket Xeon
It's not a cluster, it's a single system image (SSI) server. i.e. it is running just one copy of the Linux kernel. Read the overview properly.
You also need to learn the difference between NUMA and SMP. You won't find anything anywhere that's SMP at 32 sockets, they are all ( various flavours of ) NUMA. Current SMP designs hit a brick wall at 8 sockets and the M6 is no exception, as this article clearly states.

If you're going to learn puppet or chef then you should invest your time to learn ruby instead of python. It's mandatory anyway for chef, and puppet is written with it. Puppet templates can contain embedded ruby, and its also useful when writing your own (facter) facts. It's incredibly easy and quick to use for general purpose scripting tasks too.
Hasbro sues Asus over Transformer Prime moniker
I would agree with that assessment. If Asus had just used "Transformer" on its own they could have got away with this, as they could (rightly) argue that "transformer" is a verb - a doing word that describes an action or state. But "Transformer Prime" evokes a very different mental image. Hasbro have got every right to get pissed off about this.

It's even handy for calming down my son when he gets a bit hyper .. he loves SoundTouch and AlphaBaby. It's size, weight, portability and (best of all) amazing battery life make it a must have item for me. My other computers hardly get a look in these days,
Comet can't sell anything, including itself
Agree with JimmyPage
Except that we went to Comet et al first to eyeball the products we were interested in and get their prices; then went home and researched online to compare specs and find the cheapest online places to buy from. We replaced our fridge, washing machine and added a tumble drier (with all Miele products) purchased online and saved over £500 from the street price. No problems and no complaints.
Comet are just too expensive now compared to buying from the Internet. They need to lower their costs and drive down their prices to tempt their customers back.
HP-UX stretches over new Superdome 2
some clarification
Actually, Compaq had already stated their intent to drop Alpha and move to Itanium prior to the HP buy out. At the point of sale Tru64 had already been successfully ported to Itanium and was running in the labs. HP could have used it, or portions of it. AdvFS, the cam scsi layer and TruCluster were all offered. In the end it came down to numbers. At the time there were ~600K Tru64 customers world wide .vs. 1.6M for HP-UX. Dropping the Veritas filesystem and cluster suite to foist something new and unknown on the HP-UX customer base was considered too risky. A customer poll indicated they didn't want it, and Veritas offered some sweeteners to make sure the decision went their way. So it had nothing to do with technology benefits/limitations; it was a business decision.

Re: Why buy Red Hat?
TPM regularly throws this suggestion around and I suspected he's just trolling. It's nonsense; completely undervalues what Red Hat is all about and would be a terrible move for Red Hat customers (like my employer). One of the reasons we dumped our proprietary unix systems and moved everything onto Red Hat was platform neutrality.
HP sues Oracle over Itanic withdrawal
Mythical plan or not
It doesn't matter. Every time this story airs it plants or re-enforces doubt in Itanium's future. This will damage HP's Itanium business, and its customer list isn't that big in the first place. As you've pointed out previously Matt, HP gets more $$'s per Itanium sale than your average server, so even a small dent in their installed base is going to smart. After that, it's a rolling stone gathering moss.

Intel on Itanium: 'It's all about the OS'
It's all about the apps
I used to be involved in quite a few Itanium installations years ago. With the exception of one customer build, all the others either ran an Oracle product, or JBoss. HP-UX is no longer listed as a certified operating system for JBoss and now Oracle has pulled the plug. It doesn't matter what noises Intel and HP make at this point. I fail to see how they're going to generate enough customer interest in Itanium from this point to justify continued investment in the future. If I were a betting man I'd wager that Poulson will be the last hurrah for Itanium, and Kittson will never see the light of day. By 2015 the relentless pace of Xeon performance and RAS development will make Itanium look even less attractive.
Oracle's Itanium gambit: A play for HP's checkbook
Red Hat + HP = bad
HP buying Red Hat would be the death of Red Hat as we know it. Red Hat Linux thrives in part because, like Microsoft, it's a hardware vendor neutral platform. That's a big part of its appeal; an insurance policy against the machinations and/or failure of any one of the big hardware vendors. If it were owned by HP, IBM and Dell would cease certifying their hardware for Red Hat; sales would drop off and a significant slice of their subscription revenue would disappear along with it. No one who uses Red Hat - except for a few journalist rooting for the next story - want this to happen; certainly not Red Hat customers, employees and share holders. It would also send a very negative message to HP-UX customers and send ripples of confusion through HP's sales force, who've had it drilled into them to push HP-UX and Itanium over competing solutions at every opportunity.

RHEL 6: how much for your package?
Re: CentOS
--"That's our decision to go with CentOS justified. It works very well at the barginous price of free"--
Depends on what you're using it for. If you put critical systems into production with no support and down the line things go wrong, who are you going to turn to? The CentOS guys will doubtless offer free advise when they have a spare minute, but often problems require code changes to fix. Who's going to do that for you, in a timely manner, when your customers are taking their business elsewhere and your senior management are demanding a fix? Maybe you've never had to use a Red Hat hotfix kernel to get you out of a jam. I have, and in those circumstances they earn every penny they're paid.
CentOS is a fantastic resource, and is good for many use cases. But it's the wrong choice if your business depends on it. I don't think even the CentOS guys would argue with that.
Ubuntu demotes Gnome for Unity netbook look
I think you're right
Shuttleworth is no fool: he's already looking ahead to a future where desktop PCs are less and less relevant. Apple have announced they're doing a facelift on OS X for 10.7 next year to blend it with the iOS interface. Plus ex-Microsoft Chief Software Architect, Ray Ozzie, warned as he walked out the door that Microsoft need to close their eyes, think hard about what the post PC future is going to look like, and the kind of devices and interfaces their competitors will be using. Shuttleworth gets this, and is aiming to position Ubuntu so it's a class leader for the future. The GNOME Shell developers, for all the good work they're doing, are really just re-inventing the wheel instead of designing something that doesn't need wheels. Of cause many Gnome die-hards who just want a better wheel today will whine loudly about this. But it's Shuttleworth's job to have longer vision than that and to plan for where he thinks we'll need be 3-5 years from now. Even some people in the Fedora project have recently started talking about shifting focus away from the Desktop and more to building a platform that people can better use to build cloud and web apps with. The writing is on the wall people.
Oracle spins own Linux for mega hardware
Getting smart
It's about time they did this. I've seen lots of places running Oracle DBs on Linux, and always on Red Hat. There has never been a really compelling reason not to. Now they're diffrenciating themselves from Red Hat while still leveraging the established skills base in Red Hat Linux technology. They might actually sell more OEL licenses and support now. It'll be interesting to revisit this in 12 months to see what difference its made, if any, and how Red Hat respond to it.

I used it for the first time last night on the train in an area where 3G reception is spotty and loading web pages is typically slow.

I will be using this regularly from now on. Thanks Auntie!
Oracle spikes HP's Solaris OEM contract
Re: hp-ux on x64?
--"Wrong! There are a wealth of common applications for all three on Itanium, such as Oracle or SAP applications"--
Not as many proprietary vendor apps for RHEL on Itanium as HP-UX. Plus, most top vendor apps on RHEL x86 are Tier 1, that was never the same situation for RHEL IA64. There was just no incentive for vendors to invest in it. A classic chicken and egg situation.
--"I have benched solutions on Superdome using all three OS so that the board could see which offered the best performance and bang-for-the-buck with a particular app stack"--
Is that supposed to fill us with a sense of even handedness and fair competition? You are after all potentially the UKs biggest HP-UX fanboi ;)
--"So the idea that hp pushed out RH and MS on Itanium by just pushing hp-ux solutions misses the fact that hp weren't leading the sale on most deals, it was the resellers"--
I have a long history of mixing it with resellers, and my experience has _always_ been that when a reseller pitches an Itanium solution they _always_ pitch HP-UX unless the customer specifies otherwise. There is always more money in it for them, and you don't bite the hand that feeds you. You're being deliberately disingenuous Matt.
--"This is where hp-ux beat RHEL on Itanium - hp was simply able to fund more developers and thus gave us customers more app options at an earlier date"--
Ah, so at last you agree with me: that there was never a truly competitive market on IA64 between RHEL and HP-UX, because HP stacked the application deck in their favour by funding more development themselves. RH don't do this -- their pockets are not deep enough to spend money like that chasing proprietary apps on a platform where there are hardly any players representing their interests in front of the customer. HP had to because for their Unix business it was a matter of survival.
--"Webserving and fileserving, whch is not really an hp-ux on Itanium market"--
Rubbish. I know of several large $1M+ bids involving Telco, Biotech and Finance customers where proprietary Unix on proprietary hardware have lost out to RHEL x86. I only see a tiny fraction of what's going on out there, but there are lots of big business success stories for RH.
--"and if they decided there was money there for hp-ux on x64 then you can be sure they would be using hp's rep, marketing clout and cash to push hp-ux in a manner RH or Novell can't match."--
You forget two things. 1) RH don't have that hill to climb, they've already done it. hp-ux on x86 would have a competitor that is already in its prime. 2) Do you seriously think any amount of marketing money is going to make a proprietary unix with the licensing costs HP-UX is encumbered with competitive with RHEL? HP would have to completely rethink how they finance development and expect to retain a profit. Seriously, proprietary unix only makes business sense on proprietary hardware sold at proprietary prices to rich customers prepared to buy into the belief that they are getting something special. It cannot survive in the commodity system market. Sun tried and failed to make a profit despite having a bigger customer base than HP-UX and more ISVs in their pocket. HP-UX would do no better.
--"I agree in that hp really doesn't want to go head-to-head with Linux on x64 "--
So what are you arguing for then? ;)
--"As I've said before, the real crunch could be if UNIX goes 128-bit"--
There's no market or reason for that to happen in our working life time. The move from 32bit to 64bit was a no brainer as the 4GB limit is easy to hit. But there's a ton of leg room left in 64bit.
RE: HP-UX on x86
--"For a start, hp-ux has always been in direct competiton with Linux on Itanium"--
Correction: Red Hat was only ported to Itanium in the first place because like everyone else at the time Red Hat believed Intel's marketing message that Itanium was going to be the volume server chip in the 64bit space. Microsoft also believed this message and did the same. Neither Red Hat or Windows have ever been in real competition with HP-UX on Itanium for the simple reason that the majority of Itanium systems sales over the years come in proprietary packages to enterprise customers via proprietary vendors. The majority share of those sales come from HP, so by default are HP-UX solutions. The customer has to explicitly ask for something else (OpenVMS, Non-Stop, Windows, Red Hat) or (s)he gets HP-UX, and you know as well as I that most customers will take what HP recommends. So don't try and pretend there has ever been a competitive marketplace on Itanium, because we all know that's rubbish.
--"The problem for Macka here is that us customers chose hp-ux over Linux to such a degree that companies like Red Hat gave up and went back to x86/64"--
Correction: Red Hat gave up on Itanium because like Microsoft they made a sound business decision not to throw good money after bad and waste resources propping up an architecture that does not return a profit (for them). SGI was probably the only good reason for Red Hat to continue and when they abandoned Itanium and moved to an x86 roadmap what was the point? None.
--"And Macka has this strange idea that it hp-ux couldn't face Linux on x86 due to "a wealth of apps" - one of the reasons I had such a hard time getting management to look at Red Hat on Itanium was because hp-ux had a much better range of fully-supported applications"--
Nice try at obfuscation, but I'm not comparing Red Hat apps to HP-UX apps on Itanium, I'm talking about the x86 market. If HP-UX were ported to x86 its starting app portfolio would be zip, nada, nothing. I'm sure I don't have to tell you that none of its IA64 apps would run without a port and recompile, or perhaps a Transitive style emulation wrapper. What app vendor in their right mind is going to waste time and money on that unless HP paid them to do it. Solaris on x86 had a much better chance at cracking the x86 market and taking on Linux, but hasn't been a big success, and certainly hasn't slowed the Linux juggernaut one jot.
--"Moan about M$ all you like"--
Are you trying to put words in my mouth? I haven't moaned about MS or even mentioned them. They're the biggest player in the x86 game, what else is there to say.
--"If hp did port hp-ux to x64, their biggest opponent would be Windows, not Linux"--
Maybe. Some of the previously loyal HP-UX customers would use the opportunity of an architecture change to switch to MS, but look at the history of Linux: where has it gained most of its market share from? Some of is has been at the expense of MS, but it's been far more damaging to proprietary Unix. Either way, your point just re-enforces my point: whether its competition from MS or Linux, an HP-UX port to x86 will never be in HP's best interests for HP-UX or Itanium.
--"Whilst it's always good fun having a laugh at Macka's anti-hp FUD"--
Just to put you straight I'm not anti-HP, I really like their products and the company. I'm just a realist. I don't see any performance, cost or productivity advantage in choosing an HP-UX Itanium solution over Red Hat and x86. Quite the opposite in fact, as Red Hat on x86 is cheaper, faster and offers customers a larger choice of solutions. Plus if I were to bet which one has the best chance of still being actively developed in 5 years I know where I'd put my money.
HP-UX on x86
--"Pity HP-UX doesn't run on x64 iron, though"--
It's a good job it doesn't. Apart from tempting some of it's customer base off Itanium, which would be very bad for HP, that would bring it into direct competition with Linux and the BSDs where it would get eaten alive. Red Hat for example is already a far more capable o/s with a wealth of apps and vendor support that no proprietary unix can match today. And the gap is soon to get even wider with RHEL6. HP need HP-UX Itanium exclusivity to promote it's Itanium sales message.

Ubuntu is main stream, kubuntu is niche. Seems like an obvious and sensible choice to me. And it sounds to me like you've not looked at Gnome in some time. It used to be the case that KDE was streets ahead of Gnome years ago but that's not the case now. I switched and tried using KDE 4.3 for a whole month to give myself plenty of time to get to grips with it, but was glad to go back to Gnome at the end. It's just too buggy, I don't like the look and feel, and I hated using Amarok, kmail and Dolphin.
You need to take your blinkers off. Amarok is bloody awful. It has the worst playlist implementation I've ever seen; the way controls and options are layed out is very unintuitive, and it's design wastes lots of screen real estate. Kmail (like most things KDE) doesn't bother to differentiate between ordinary functions people use every day and advanced functions, and just packs its menus full of crap that would fill an 'ordinary' PC user with confusion and fear. It doesn't integrate all that well with gmail (a must for me) and mail account setup is way too complicated for a non-techie to grasp. If you want to see an MUA done right, take a look at Thunderbird. Setup is a breeze. For example just give it a gmail/yahoo/hotmail email address and it knows what needs to be done.
I like to use multi-column views for file management where it's available, and navigate around using the keypad more than the mouse. Implemented properly its a fast way to work. Dolphin is badly broken here and doesn't work the same as every other file manager I've ever used. It was just impossible for me to be productive with it. Nautilus just blows it out of the water.
So in summary, you can keep your KDE. If it works for you then I'm happy for you, and maybe The Reg authors will do an article for you one day. In the mean time this series is for the rest of us, and I look forward to the next one.
New wave of superphones poised to challenge iPhone 4
Battery life
--"The Galaxy S is rated at 576 hours of 3G standby while the iPhone 4 is rated at 300 hours"--
This was said in the context of comparing the AMOLED screen on the Galaxy to the iPhone 4, but what has the standby time got to do with screen power consumption? Standby time is when the device is inactive, not being used, it has nothing at all to do with screen power efficiency. The only thing we can deduce from this statement is that the Galaxy will have a bigger battery than the iPhone, so it will probably be a bigger and heavier device. I'm sure Apple could build a bigger phone with a longer battery life if they wanted to, but they don't because they always look to balance form with function. Making a new phone thats 24% thinner than it's predecessor is something they're proud of.
Adobe unveils emag maker for Apple iPad

Mac spyware infiltrates popular download sites
Wrong focus
The first thing to note is that this isn't a virus it's a Trojan; and you're right, any OS can get infected with one of these. The real story here is not that someone's written a nasty Trojan, but its method of delivery. If Intego are to be believed then Softpedia, MacUpdate, and VersionTracker are inserting malware into downloads of otherwise sane and safe software. So either they've been hacked, or they have become hives of scum and villainy who will sell your systems down the river for a silver penny or three from a dodgy sponsor. THAT is the real story. Not that Intego want you to think about that, they just want you to get frightened into buying their product.

Fedora 13 – Linux for Applephobes
Re: Upgrad path for 3.0?
Yes it does. You upgrade to FC 4, then 5, 6, etc until you get to the release you want. Or did you want to do that in one hit? Name me one operating system that allows you to upgrade 10 major versions in a single upgrade. No, how about 5 versions, or maybe 3? Still no? Well what does that tell you then!
It's your own stupid fault for letting your system fall so behind. Never ever let important systems that you rely on get that out of date again. An FC 3 build in this day and age must have more security holes than a Swiss cheese.
If you absolutely have to keep this, then how about using your head and going for a sensible solution. Your ancient FC 3 build that you left to languish must be running on very old hardware by now. I assume you're running something you just can't transplant onto a more modern build (can't imagine what). So do what everyone else does that need a modern supported OS and hardware platform: go virtual. Get a nice fast modern system and run your FC 3 build inside a VM.
Honestly I can't believe the number of ignorant twits and trolls that have crawled out from under their rocks to throw mud at this article.
Fanboi's lament – falling out of love with the iPad
seek help

Canonical explains Ubuntu unfree video choice
Re: H.264's undeserved bad rep
--"We hoped that we were producing a standard that would be so good that it would kill off the proprietary codecs that were emerging at that time "--
Getting rid of the different proprietary codecs to consolidate around one was/is a laudable goal.
--"Perhaps the most strange thing for me is the notion that H.264 was the work of some exclusive and unholy alliance of the big companies"--
Why do you find that so strange? 300 experts from 100+ companies may have given their time and expertise, but who do you think owned the patents for the IP that got pooled to create MPEG-4 AVC? And did you really think they were just going to let go of that?
Competing for business
Canonical have a choice: do they want to compete head on with Microsoft and Apple, or be an "also ran". If they want Ubuntu to appeal to regular Microsoft and Apple users then they have to give them the same 'first class' web and multimedia experience that Microsoft and Apple do, out of the box. So really, being totally pragmatic about this, they have no other choice.

HP: last Itanium man standing
Red Hat silliness
--"And wouldn't it be far easier if HP just bought Red Hat and asked its HP-UX customers to make just one more port and compile, to RHEL running on x64 iron?"--
No no no no NO, get this silly notion out of your head. That would be a disaster for Red Hat: they need to stay vendor neutral in order to deploy on as wide a variety of vendor hardware as possible.
And anyway, why would HP spend billions buying Red Hat to get a distro of their own when they can copy what CentOS and Oracle have done? They can have their own HP branded Linux any time at a fraction of the cost and share the development going forward with Red Hat and Oracle.
--"Novell would be cheaper to acquire and still supports Itanium with its SLES Linux, and that would also do"--
No disrespect to the guys at Novell, but they have all the tools, IP and products to really make it in this business. If they can't make it work well given what they have then maybe they do need a change of management. I can't see HP going for them though as the bulk of their linux customers want Red Hat.

HP preps Tukwila servers for April 27
You forgot one
I'm pretty sure you can add the announcement of the DL580 G7 to that list as well. That's the 4 socket Proliant with the Nehalem-EX chip. I can't absolutely confirm that, but I've heard a rumor through the grapevine. Also HP slipped slightly with their recent publication of the LSF V7.0.6 Overview document here:
It lists both the DL580 G7 and the DL980 G7 in the hardware support section. It would make sense for them to announce both the DL980 and the new DL580 at the same time. Not everyone is going to want a beast the size of a DL980.
'Gossips' say Apple will acquire ARM
Nah, don't you know?

Microsoft pulls plug on Intel's Itanic
RE: Umm ..
Stripping out all the ad homenim and dot to dot Disney Land logic from your argument, what you're basicly trying to sell is that because the unit price of an Itanium sale is higher than the rest (which I never disputed) then this "obviously" means (by magic) that these sales must be to more prestigious customers. What an ego. And that by association (or some dimension bending osmosis) the accompanying sales opportunities (storage, consultancy, etc) are bountiful rivers of flowing gold. And that these lucky customers, with bottomless money wells and orchards of lush fruiting money trees, are falling over themselves to buy the more expensive Itanium solutions because, well, it's Itanium. That's an interesting world you live on. Does your emperor wear any clothes? Meanwhile, where the rest of us live customers are more pragmatic, more discerning, and want the best value for their hard earned and (these days) scarce cash.
--"Whilst you're busy writhing, let's get to the fun bit - show me the money"-- and --"So your argument that IBM made massively more money than hp simply because IBM sold more units overall is likely to be very wrong due to IBM not making as much money on each server sold, either through margin at the time of purchase or pull-through during its lifetime. This is the prime reason Sun went steeply into decline whilst still shifting a high number of (low-end) units."--
What you percieve as wriggling is me dancing all over your arguments. Let me just point out the magnitude of your mathematical folly using your own numbers. If you make 38% more per sale than I do (and lets assume that's for everything) but I make 100% more sales than you (as per the article you quote) who comes out on top? Let's keep this simple and use 100 as a base line: 100+38=138 .vs. 100+100=200. Oh, dear. You also pointed out that you budget 5 x the purchase cost for the lifetime of the servers, so lets do a simple test there too: 138*5=690 .vs. 200*5=1000. Oh dear oh dear, you loose out again too.
--"hp Integrity has won that high-end despite the Itanium delays and despite the latest versions only being dual-core to Power's four-core offerings"--
Dude, Power 7 has 8 cores, not 4. I thought you would have known that. Well lets just wait and see how the benchmark results stack up when Tukwilla eventually makes it into some real systems.
Umm ..
--"If you forgot to read the figures in the Gratner article as reported here on the Reg (http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/02/24/gartner_q4_2009_servers/), hp seem to be doing quite fine in the high-end. In fact, given the average server shipment value as discussed in the comments off the same article, hp are selling more top-end servers than IBM and much more than Soreacle"--
That's kind of bending the numbers to fit your world view isn't it. So HP are getting more value per Itanium server than IBM or Sun/Oracle are from theirs. That's good, but from the figures quoted IBM still made much more money from bare metal P7 sales than HP did from Itanium. Plus Sun/Oracle got nearly three time as much tin on the ground and IBM twice as much. I'd bet that when you factor in support contracts and consultancy fees, and peripheral kit sold along with all those deals, that HP get bumped into a distant 3rd place on total sale value.
You know you can sex this up as much as you like, but Itanium is not delivering what was promised for HP any more. That's not HP's fault, it's Intel's for letting their Itanium road map milestone slip and slip and slip. Remember that in 2005, when all Intel had were single-core Madison Itaniums, Intel was saying that Montecito would be out in 2005, Montvale would follow fast on its heels in 2006, and Tukwila would debut in 2007. As it turned out Montvale came out in 2007 and we've had to wait 3 fecking years for Tukwilla. If we have to wait another 3 years for Poulson to take Itanium to 8 cores, well what's the bloody point. It will be irrelevant by then.
Not all Intel's fault
Well really it was AMD that screwed Intel up by bolting 64bit extensions onto their 32bit x86 offering so that it would run both, then making it work and making it quick. Intel had no choice but to follow suit, something they never ever wanted to do. There was supposed to be a clear dividing line between x86-32 and IA-64 and no cross over. AMD forced them into x86-64 and into playing catch up for a few years. From that moment on the glorious dream of Itanium replacing x86 in the volume server market was doomed to hit an iceberg. It might have helped if the first Itanium chips had shown blistering performance and given people something to be excited about, but Merced turned out to be a real dog.
Itanium's future rests in the hands of HP and HP-UX now that SGI, Redhat and Microsoft have voted with their feet. We will have to see if that's enough. Doesn't look very promising for HP-UX though as it's now caught in a tightening vice with AIX and Linux on IBM's Power7 at the top end, plus Linux and MS Windows on Nehalem-EX and AMD's Magny-Cours chomping deep into its middle ground from underneath.
The next 12 months are the litmus test. HP not only have to make enough sales to make Itanium chip production profitable, but also to fund future development and cover the cost of Fab upgrades to stop it from falling behind. If they can't, then Intel will do to HP and Itanium what they did to Compaq and the Alpha chip. Chip updates and Fab improvements will come later and later and it will fall further and further behind the field until HP are forced to give up the ghost and slap a 10 year tick over retirement plan on it.
Leaked details on HP iPad challenger reveal tight fight
bloat killing battery?
Maybe it's the bloat of running Windows 7 - an OS designed for something a lot bigger - that's the main reason for the Slate's poor battery life. iPhone OS may have its short comings, but it's designed to run on a small handheld and is optimized for those resources. People are reporting real world battery life tests on the iPad of up to 12 hours. Maybe HP would be better off putting the Windows Phone 7 on the Slate to get the most out of the hardware.
As for performance, I think Apple have sized the iPad A4 chip and Memory to be able to run iPhone OS apps so that it's visibly smooth and fast. So I agree with you: raw numbers don't mean anything here. It's the user's experience that counts.
Mandybill enters pre-election wash-up
An end to Mandy
I'd like to see this guy out of government. It winds me up no end that an unelected official like Mandy has so much power and influence in government and the running of the country with absolutely no accountability to the electorate. First Secretary of State: that position should be held by an elected MP. Mandy's a member of 35 of the 43 cabinet committees and subcommittees for goodness sake, and we can't get rid of him without tossing out the whole government. Not that I'm in favour of keeping the incumbents, but that is so wrong.
HP slides Slate into iPad slipstream
feature comparison
Engadget have put up an article in the past few hours showing an HP slide comparing features between the Slate and the iPad. The Slate wins on playing Flash and in having two cameras but its screen resolution is less: 1024x600. It can only talk 802.11b/g WiFi where as the iPad does a/b/g/n, and the Slate only has up to 5 hours battery life. That's likely to put some people off. Pricing is aggressive though.
Tories may scrap IR35 tax rules for contractors
Re: Contractors vs permies
--"I don't where you were working last, but neither do permies. permies have to stump up for their own training"--
What a load of bollocks. In 24 years I've never met or heard of a permie having to pay for their own training to do their job. Either you've let the 1st April get to your head or you're smoking something dodgy.
--"You have to buy it when working from home, just as permies do, oddly enough. On site you get the desk, pc and coffee. Permies don't get to claim their travel, laptops or such like."--
Do you even work in the same industry as the rest of us? I've known loads of people who home work, and their employer almost always gives them a work laptop if for no other reason than security. My wife worked for a local council and she got one. A lot of employers even pay for extra phone lines and internet connections to be set up. And if you're not claiming your travel expenses as a permie, well then your employer has done you up like a kipper.
--"If you are taking home a hundred grand plus"--
If I was "taking home" a hundred grand then that would be made up from a combination of salary + dividends. I would also be deeply in the 40% tax bracket and would be paying a large amount of tax. Btw, you do realise that all tax just ends up in one big pot don't you: your NI could be spent on anything, just as some of the tax on my earnings will go to the NHS. And yes, I keep my employee NI down (though I don't take the piss) but I also have to pay employers NI too which compensates for that.
Anyway, as a contractor I would be worse off than a permie at this point because not only do the government tax me on my salary + dividends, but dividends still count towards company profit and the value that I have to pay Corporation Tax on. We're effectively taxed twice on the same money. I won't bore you with the numbers, but once a contractor falls into the 40% bracket the over all tax burden works out to be higher than an equivalent co-worker in a permanent position. Hence most Ltd company contractor's desperate scramble to keep themselves below 40% or at least delay it for as long as possible.

Executive Express
Park the private jet. You'll have more fun in these five luxurious rides!
By March 3, 2009 / Photos by John Lamm
Now that it is no longer socially fashionable to be seen winging around the country in a private jet (especially if you're an auto exec), comfortable high-speed ground transportation is an attractive option, especially if you have one of these five luxury automobiles at your beck and call.
2010 Bentley Continental Supersports
Who says big horsepower can't be socially responsible? That's the point of the . This flex-fuel powered 2-door luxury coupe has a distinctive look to go along with the massive horsepower (621 bhp with a promised acceleration time of 3.7 seconds from 060 mph) it extracts from its turbocharged V-12 engine that runs on fuel ranging from premium gasoline to pure ethanol. Clean, fast and stylish are the watchwords here.
BMW Concept 5 Series Gran Turismo
The BMW Concept 5 Gran Turismo seeks to redefine the luxury sedan with sporty good looks, a high seating position and all the practicality a hatchback offers. While there is much to this -based concept that is borrowed from crossovers, the execution is far closer to that other BMW staple the sport sedan. The lower ride height, sleek styling and massive power from its V-8 engine promise a driving experience that is more M5 than X5.
2010 Maybach Zeppelin
It doesn't cost as much as a private jet, but the 2010 Zeppelin has an interior that looks like it could have come from one. The Zeppelin features a unique two-tone brown and black paint scheme complemented by a similarly colored leather interior that features piano black lacquer accents. Adding to the aura (or is that aroma) of exclusivity is an on board perfume atomizer to freshen up the cabin.
2010 Aston Martin V-12 Vantage
While the DBS remains the flagship in this British sports-car maker's line, the 2010 V12 Vantage adds considerable muscle to the smaller, more compact 2-seater that until now, offered only V-8 power. The pumped up Vantage takes full advantage of the 510 bhp on tap from the 6.0-liter engine with a top speed pegged at nearly 190 mph. The tidy 2-seater is equipped with a 6-speed manual transmission.
2009 Maserati GranTurismo S Automatic
Maserati is on a mission to introduce a new model at virtually every major auto show it attends and Geneva is no different. The is the latest to join the lineup adding a more muscular option for those who want an automatic transmission. That 6-speed gearbox now sits behind a 443-bhp 4.7-liter V-8, a boost in displacement and 40-some horsepower over the standard 4.2-liter model. The Gran Turismo S Automatic also tales advantage of the automaker's active Skyhook suspension.

"no connection" error
Whenever my girlfriend logs in to her user account, the USB network adapter acts like it's not even plugged in. HOWEVER, when you log in to my account it automatically picks up a signal and connects to my router. Unplugging the adapter from the back of the PC and plugging it back in resolves the issue, but i never had to do that when i had a 32 bit version of 7.
Setup before the issue:
Win 7 32x
2 Admin user accounts
Belkin wireless adapter and Belkin router
Setup during the issue:
Win 7 64x
1 admin, 1 standard user
once the issue started i switched her to an admin account, and it temporarily resolved the issue.
Though it is easily resolvable, and isn't broke, i was wondering if any of you geniuses might know what's going on.

For enabling Comodo to get updates, I therefore need the IP address or Domain name that Comodo uses for its update. Does anybody can help me? I didn't get any answer from Comodo so far...
Thank you very much in advance,
They probably don't want you to know. Do you have any network traffic monitoring software? Wireshark would work but its probably a bit overkill, however you could monitor that PC while it tries to update and see where it connects to.
