The shoes on the Nelson Mandela statue are almost 1m in length.
Nelson Mandela Square is a vibrant hub in the heart of Johannesburg's upmarket Sandton suburb in Gauteng province. Attached to Sandton City Shopping Mall, the square is a great place to enjoy Johannesburg's vibrant urban spaces. The Square consists of a wide variety of upmarket shops and restaurants, and the central area is a popular venue for alfresco dining. The iconic Nelson Mandela statue is a focal point of this outdoor square.
Sandton is the commercial, business and entertainment Mecca of South Africa from where more than 10 000 businesses operate. Among these are the country's top investment banks, corporate head offices and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Sandton is surrounded by South Africa's most affluent residential suburbs where more than 300 000 residents live and make use of the Sandton business hub.
The square is a European-styled piazza the marries international style and African hospitality. It attracts locals and visitors to its sidewalk cafes and premier restaurants – French, Greek, Italian and African. Around one million local and international visitors make use of this shopping extravaganza every month, buying anything from curios to couture, art, books, jewellery and hi-tech.The square is also used as a venue for a variety of prestigious events.
Nelson Mandela Square was previously known as Sandton Square, until the centre's 10th birthday celebrations and the unveiling of the Nelson Mandela statue on 31 March 2004 to coincide with 10 years of democracy in South Africa.
The statue of Nelson Mandela was created by local artists Jacob Maponyane and Kobus Hattingh and stands six metres tall. The statue was commissioned in July 2002 and completed in 2004.
At the time of its unveiling, the statue received mixed reactions from all quarters – some loved it, some hated it and some thought it was just a little over the top. Certainly, the proportions of this statue cannot be ignored: apart from its height it is 2.3m wide and has a shoulder width of 1.7m!
Visitors to Nelson Mandela Square can't help but have themselves photographed next to the imposing statue of Madiba and it certainly provides a talking point for the many diners who sit on the square to enjoy a meal under African skies.
The square is also a great place for those with kids and the water fountains provide hours of fun and amusement for the little ones. For adults in need of some retail therapy, there over 300 shops in the vicinity and for a spot of local culture the Old Mutual Theatre on the Square is a good place to be.

Well, if media reports are true, Sandy Alderson is back from his pillaging, and the treasure chest contains… Zack Wheeler.
As Beltran Booty goes, this will do nicely. (Tomorrow, we'll tackle what it means for the 2011 Mets.)
Wheeler was the sixth overall pick in the 2009 draft. He's currently the 35th best prospect in all of baseball, as per Baseball America. His fastball reaches 96-97, he's got great movement on it (sinking action), so he both misses bats (10.0 strikeouts per nine innings this season) and induces huge numbers of ground balls. His only hiccup is control- his walk rate was 5.8 per nine last year, 4.8 per nine this year- but his upside is clear. The Mets will probably send him to St. Lucie, with the hope that he'll start next season in Binghamton, for the all-important double-A threshold for a pitcher.
Think of it this way: had Carlos Beltran's contract not contained a clause prohibiting them from offering arbitration, the Mets probably would have, if only to receive a compensatory draft pick from whoever signed him (as well as a sandwich pick between the first and second rounds). A team signing Beltran probably wouldn't have had a pick as high as six (he'd be a veteran acquisition, after all). Moreover, the Mets would have run the risk that Beltran simply accepted arbitration, a prohibitive issue for a player who earned $18.5 million in 2011, would have been due for a raise based on a spectacular 2011, and on a team that simply can't afford to add that kind of salary. So there's a decent chance they'd have lost him for nothing anyway.
Now, they have another high-end pitching prospect alongside Jenrry Mejia, Matt Harvey and Jeurys Familia. The point isn't that all of them will make it; chances are extremely high that won't happen. And Wheeler isn't any guarantee himself. But the only way to develop some homegrown pitching talent is to stockpile a whole lot of it. That is the only way to guard against the ridiculous attrition rates pitching prospects experience. So getting Wheeler is a wonderful thing.
My final Beltran Booty rating: "Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrighteous deal, Sandy!"

Ok, this is going to be a short one…
While building custom OSGi bundles or components over the Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform (which contains the Apache Felix OSGi container) or any other OSGi container for that matter, you may often come across a need to access and hence introduce OSGi bundles of other enterprise thirdparty libraries within the container.
A common way to achieve this is to create a wrapper bundle for these libraries using the BND tool. However, thanks to SpringSource, we already have the OSGi-ready versions of hundreds of open source enterprise libraries that are commonly used/needed, hosted for public use. So, you can easily search for the library you are looking for here, before creating one on your own (in case the one you are looking for does not exist – which should be quite rare).

Physical evidence is any object found at a crime scene that might be a clue to help figure out what happened…or who did it. You have to be very careful collecting evidence and keeping track of it. It's very important to write down the date and time when you found the object and where you found it. It's also important to wear gloves so that you don't contaminate the evidence before a laboratory can run tests on it. For example, you wouldn't want to get your own fingerprints on an object that might have the suspect's fingerprints on it.
Print out copies of this evidence card to keep in your detective tool kit to help you keep track of the important things you find. Put the evidence, and the filled out evidence card, in a ziploc bag – that keeps the evidence dry and secure.

SAINT LEO, Fla. – Saint Leo men's lacrosse head coach Brad Jorgensen picked up his 100th career victory on Wednesday night at University Turf Stadium as the Lions defeated Catawba College in Deep South Conference action, 12-8. A dominant third quarter gave Saint Leo the edge over the Indians, advancing the Lions' record to 3-2, and 3-1 in DSC play, while Catawba drops to a mark of 2-3, and a conference mark of 0-2.
The Lions saw stellar performances out of a plethora of players, with Chad Marino and Matt Obermeyer netting hat tricks to lead the game in goals scored. Robert Hutchinson scored two goals of his own, while Kevin Hutchinson led the game in overall points with a goal and a game-high four assists on the evening.
Tom Horn, Chris Caiazza, and George Proechel wrapped up the Lions scoring efforts for the night with one goal apiece. John Laronga won 13-of-21 faceoff attempts while collecting three ground balls. Paul Aramanda led the team with six ground balls, and wreaked havoc on the Indians attacking unit as he caused four turnovers on the night.
Catawba was led by John Scheich and Matt Symes with two goals each as a total of six players contributed to the Indians' scoring efforts.
In cage for the Lions, freshman Dave Moore earned a total of 15 saves while collecting five ground balls and causing one turnover. The Lake Mary, Fla. native picked up five key saves in the third quarter to hold the Indians off of the scoreboard completely, helping to give the Lions a four goal advantage entering into the final period.
Saint Leo got the game rolling with the first two goals of the game, but two late tallies from the Indians with under two minutes to play in the first quarter knotted the score at 2-2 after the first 15 minutes of action.
The second stanza saw Catawba outscore the Lions 2-1, leaving Saint Leo in a one goal deficit at the half with a score of 4-3. Entering into the third quarter on a mission, the Green and Gold rattled off five unanswered goals throughout the entire period, including a shot from Obermeyer with seven seconds left, to pull ahead by a score of 8-4 with one quarter to go.
The Lions bit first in the final quarter, with Robert Hutchinson finding the back of the cage with 11:57 to go. But Catawba answered right back, scoring three goals over the ensuing four minutes to pull back to within range with a score of 9-7 in the Lions favor.
Saint Leo, however, made easy work of the Indians' defense, and rattled off three consecutive goals in a minute and 10 seconds to extend their lead to five with a score of 12-7 and 4:03 remaining. Catawba saw a late goal from Adam Hebert with 3:05 left, but was able to play composed in the final minutes of action to secure their third straight win.
The Lions trailed in the overall shot count, 47-31, but had the higher shots-on-goal percentage, with .645 of their shots on target compared to Catawba's .489. Saint Leo won the ground ball battle, 29-22, and were successful on 19-of-20 clear attempts. A stalwart Lions man-down unit held the Indians to just two goals on seven man-up situations.
The Lions return to action on Friday, March 8, when they host Mount Olive College. Game time against the Trojans is set for 3 p.m. at University Turf Stadium. Fans who cannot make it to the game will be able to catch the action live on the Saint Leo Sports Network at SaintLeoLions.com.

A BIG Easter weekend party with a well-known DJ is on the horizon at two popular clubs.
Radio 1's lunchtime DJ Scott Mills will be the main draw at Tramps in Angel Place, Worcester, when the presenter performs an hour-long set on Saturday, April 19 followed by a meet and greet session with his adoring fans.
Tramps teams up with Velvet to kick things off with Spring Fest on Thursday, April 17, offering five rooms of music across the two venues before Velvet goes it alone for 80s, 90s and 00s night on Friday, April 18.
Finally, Tramps will be transformed into a chocolate factory on Sunday, April 20 for the free Willy Wonka Chocolate Party full of confetti cannons, a balloon drop, chocolate fountains and much more.
Dean Hill, Tramps director, said: "Easter weekend is great because for most people they get four days off, that gives us an excuse to put on some unforgettable nights. I'm especially looking forward to having yet another Radio 1 DJ in for a live set.
"It shows people that Worcester is a top place to go to for a night out. Willy Wonka Chocolate Party will be fun also as people love to dress up and get involved. I'm expecting to see a real effort from Worcester as always."

Watertown Daily Times: Clayton Distillery will try to put customers in high spirits
Clayton Distillery has made April 1 the target for opening its new 2,560-square-foot facility at 40164 Route 12. Vodka production started in earnest at the farm distillery in mid-February, and several 1,000-pound batches of mashed corn are now fermenting in stills. Starting next week, that alcohol will be sent through a 250-gallon copper pot still to prepare it for bottling.
It's an exciting prospect for co-owner Michael L. Aubertine, who engineered and led the construction of the micro-distillery, which broke ground in July. After putting in 15-hour workdays for the past two months, he will soon operate a semiautomatic machine to fill 400 bottles of spirits per hour.
"This has been a lot of fun for me to figure out," said the 44-year-old entrepreneur, who has spent the past 20 years doing similar design work for Aubertine and Currier Architects, Engineers & Land Surveyors in Watertown.
Customers who visit the farm distillery will first notice its rustic exterior designed by Mr. Aubertine. The building appeals to the eye with its shiplap pine siding, galvanized steel roof and visible rafters. A 110-foot sawtooth fence borders the parking lot to accentuate the rustic aura.
"We wanted to make it look like an old barn," said Mr. Aubertine, who grew up on his family's farm in Cape Vincent. Still owned by his parents, Terry and Linda Aubertine, the farm grows corn, rye, wheat and oats for production at the distillery.
The first attraction customers will notice when entering the distillery is the pot still, visible through glass doors that lead to the production area. At the retail space in front, they'll be able to purchase shot glasses to sample vodka, gin, limoncello and what Mr. Aubertine calls moonshine, a bourbon that has not been aged. For sale only at the store, six-bottle cases of spirits will start at $28.99. Also offered will be T-shirts, hats and mugs.
Guided tours of the facility will teach customers how spirits are distilled from start to finish. Giving a reporter a tour Thursday, Mr. Aubertine began by talking about a large outdoor still filled with 46 tons of corn used for vodka production. The corn is transported inside the facility with an augur, which funnels it to a roller mill. The mill grinds the corn into powder before it's channeled into the masher heated by steam, which is set at 190 degrees. After about an hour, the temperature is dropped to 167 degrees before a mixture of yeast is put in to start the fermentation.
"The yeast eats the sugar in the masher and converts it to alcohol and carbon dioxide," Mr. Aubertine said.
The alcohol is then stored in 500-gallon stainless steel tanks for about four days to ferment, a process that increases its alcohol content to more than 10 percent. It's next pumped to the 250-gallon copper pot still that heats the alcohol at 174 degrees. For about seven hours, alcohol is vaporized and condensed inside a 16-foot-tall vodka column. The finished product is 95 percent pure grain alcohol. Finally, the pure alcohol is blended with water to produce the right concentration needed for various products; the vodka will have a 40 percent alcohol content, while gin will be 44 percent.
Mr. Aubertine's goal is to sell more than 10,000 bottles of spirits during the first year of production. While producing spirits to sell, he will stow away barrels of bourbon that will need about three years to age. Two 53-gallon barrels will be produced each month, enabling the distillery to make 24 barrels a year.
If the business draws enough sales in its first year, he said, it will construct two additional buildings at the site — both more than 2,000 square feet. One would include additional retail space and offices and the other would provide extra room to store whiskey barrels.
Mr. Aubertine likes the chances of his distillery's success in Clayton, about a mile-and-a-half from downtown. "We have a lot of traffic flow here, with good visibility and (room for) expandability."
When the business opens in the spring, it will have two full-time and four part-time employees.
Mr. Aubertine co-owns the business with Michael L. Ingerson and Roger R. Howard, who work full time in Clayton and Watertown, respectively. The project was made possible partly by a $99,000 Rural Business Enterprise Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to purchase equipment.
Though he's putting in long hours, the entrepreneur is savoring the freedom of being his own boss.
"Figuring this out has been fun for me," he said. "After sitting behind a desk for the past 20 years, it's nice to get back into farming again."
Clayton Distillery will be open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday. Visit http://claytondistillery.com for more information.

Hockey seasons are loaded with nights like this, and the Rangers' season so far has been almost nothing but.
Tests. Barometers. The Minnesota game after the Colorado game was a test. The Florida game after the Tampa Bay game was a test. How would they react? And these Rangers have passed most tests so far.
Tonight is a barometer game, against the Penguins who have figured it out lately, with six straight wins, and against Sid Crosby, your buddy, who has 25 points in a 12-game point streak, and who had the hat trick Saturday, which by the way included his 200th career goal (earlier I incorrectly had it at 300. Ooops). And you know, he kind of has this new rivalry going with Henrik Lundqvist and Brandon Dubinsky.
It's a barometer, also, because the Rangers beat the Penguins two weeks ago, in that game that had those huge emotional swings at the end — the Rangers blowing a lead, falling behind, tying it on Marc Staal's short-handed goal and winning it on that beauty of an OT goal, from Dubinsky to Ryan Callahan.
So, well, I'm kinda interested and excited to see how this one plays out. I'm headed to MSG later on, so we'll do the full monty here at RR. I'm guessing Marian Gaborik will be back from the flu.
Meanwhile, here are the pre-game notes, from the Rangers:

- Save time: Quickly debug intermittent races and deadlocks
- Save effort: No special builds―just use your normal build
Save Money and Deliver More Reliable Applications
Save Time: Find and Debug Intermittent and Non-Deterministic Errors
Dynamic analysis reveals subtle defects or vulnerabilities whose cause is too complex to be discovered by static analysis. Unlike static analysis, debugger integration lets you diagnose the problem and find the root cause. Intel Inspector finds latent errors on the executed code path plus intermittent and non-deterministic errors, even if the error-causing timing scenario does not happen.
Easy - No Special Builds! Use Your Normal Debug or Optimized Build
Unlike other memory and threading analysis tools, Intel Inspector never requires any special recompiles for analysis. Just use your normal debug or production build. (Include symbols so we can map to the source.) This not only makes your workflow faster and easier, it increases reliability and accuracy.
This is made possible by Intel Inspector's dynamic instrumentation of your binary. Competitive static analysis and compilation-based instrumentation techniques struggle with dynamically generated or linked code. Intel Inspector inspects all code―including third party libraries where the source is not available.
New for 2017
- Intel Inspector now runs native on 2nd generation Intel® Xeon Phi™ processors. Inspecting code optimized for Intel Xeon Phi on the same processor simplifies the development workflow.
- Intel Inspector now has full support for all C++11 language features including std::mutex and std::atomic.
- Identification of threading bugs just got even easier. Intel Inspector will now give the variable name in addition to the code line for threading errors. This includes global, static, and stack variables.

Welcome to Linux LEO
You have reached the home of the Law Enforcement and Forensic Examiner's Introduction to Linux. The guide has been around for a long time now, without any sort of permanent home. This Web site hopefully takes care of that.
Recent News (December 2008)
As of December 8, 2008, there's another new version of the guide (3.78). The purpose of this release is mostly to account for changes in the latest version of the Sleuthkit (now at version 3.x). This resulted in some changed tool names and the removal of at least one exercise in the LinuxLEO guide to account for how the new version of Sleuthkit handles deleted files in NTFS (see the changelog). The guide is still just under 200 pages long.
The next version of this guide will be a major revision. It will actually be more of a book than a guide!
The Purpose of this Site
This site is intended to be a simple on line repository for documents (the guide and upcoming additions) that I've written to assist members of the computer forensic community learn more about Linux and its potential as a forensic tool. This is NOT meant to be another "community portal" with forums and articles, etc. There's already plenty of those around (see "Resources" on the left). I've been asked plenty of times to open a forum or mail list for those with questions about the guide, but I don't have the time to administer such an undertaking, and I really feel more can be learned by visiting some of the already established resources. Having said that...feel free to e-mail me at any time with any questions, comments or flames. Feedback is exceedingly important to me. Positive or negative...
The Guide
The Law Enforcement and Forensic Examiner's Introduction to Linux, A Beginner's Guide is my repayment to the community. When I first started to learn how to use Linux as a forensic tool, I had help from plenty of people. I look at this guide as my way of continuing that spirit of sharing knowledge. The first version of the guide was written for a class I was asked to assist with in late 1999. This is now the third major revision, with many smaller unannounced updates in between. The structure and much of the content has remained the same.
- Linux Installation Overview
- Distribution Choices.
- Introduction to Disks, Partitions and File Systems
- Linux Boot Sequence (simplified)
- Linux Commands
- Introduction to vi (very basic!)
- Mounting File Systems
- Introduction to Linux Forensics - Standard Command Line Tools
- Advanced Linux Forensics Tools
- Overview of some Bootable Distros
- more
About the Author

HP EliteBook Folio 9470m Ultrabook Review: Ultrabooks in Enterpriseby Dustin Sklavos on 3/29/2013 12:01 AM EST
82 Comments
Back to Article
juampavalverde - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkThe thing is: a 1300 usd ultrabook with that screen? go home hp. People, please, refuse to buy this, refuse to review it, sent this company back to the design board, this cant posible, c'mon, a thinkpad t60 from something like 8 years ago had a 1400x1050 display on 14" and this "premium enterprise laptop" just hd and 1600x900 as an option... goddamit Reply
meacupla - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkIt's also kinda big and heavy to be a proper "ultra"book.
At first, I thought the photo was badly done, but I guess that's how crappy the screen really is on this thing.
Did HP throw in the towel? They seem to not care that the competition, like asus, dell, MS offering some pretty damn good ultrabooks and convertibles for $900~1300? Reply
StrangerGuy - Friday, March 29, 2013 - link$1300 for a crappy 768p TN and a measly 1 year warranty.
And Intel wonders why their darling isn't selling. Besides do people even want to pay premium prices for premium PCs to begin with? The ASP of ~$400 suggests not. Reply
Silma - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkPC manufacturers cry themselves to sleep over low demand and tight margins and market shares lost to tablet but after years of crisis they are still incapable of assembling a decent PC, still thinking that choosing super bad parts such as panels of outdated TN technology with ultra low resolution crappy colors and brightness is just the right thing to put in an overpriced "enterprise" super premium priced notebook.
No Wonder customers are loosing faith. Reply
StrangerGuy - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkI wouldn't put all the blame on the OEMs, the whole industry is to blame for its own undoing. They thought they were innovating with oh-so-many Core whatever SKUs when in reality they are only selling Internet and Excel appliances that people only bought because there was no alternative.
Then smartphones and tablets happened. Reply
DanNeely - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkYour typical enterprise notebook is docked and using external displays 95% of the time; while still annoying when unlocked this is less of a problem than with a similar consumer model.
On the price front, the docking port itself probably has at least $100 of soak the businessmen surcharge. Reply
cknobman - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkThis laptop is a f_cking joke and disgrace. And Intel wonders why people are not jumping on the "ultrabook" bandwagon.
Only thing ultra about this laptop is ultra"sh!tty". Reply
Stephen Owen - Tuesday, September 17, 2013 - linkI disagree. Put a 1080p (or higher) IPS display on this thing and it would be a dream.
Well, it IS exceptionally loud. I've got one next to my mammoth Latitude e6510. I literally can't hear my typing over the scream of its turbines. I think the laptop is about to begin hovering, in fact. Reply
bhima - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkAgreed. I paid under $1000 for basically the same spec'd Samsung Series 9 (smaller hard drive, only 128gb) and it has a fantastic 1600x900 screen that is quite bright and the light is well distributed with good viewing angles plus its thinner than a razor's edge. Reply
tomrocksalot - Friday, February 21, 2014 - linkAh yes I was in the same situation... and I bought the 9470m... second hand admittedly and upgraded it.
My HP has the following benefits over a series 9 (which I was otherwise going to buy)
8GB ram, 256 SSD, 1600x900 display, 1TB hdd, loads of ports and other features the series 9 does not have. Screen is larger at 14",( is it a pro is it a con???)
If I bought a series 9 I would be lugging around an external HDD and dongles which kills the whole size difference IMHO. Reply
Voldenuit - Friday, March 29, 2013 - link
Of course, things being what they are, HP only includes a 1366x768 TN panel display in the basic model of the 9470m
I stopped reading right there. Can we put sentences like these in the first line or title of all future mobile reviews? Reply
speculatrix - Sunday, March 31, 2013 - link+1
Shame that anandtech spent so much time reviewing this. I never got beyond the screen spec.. in fact I skipped as much of the article as possible to get to screen spec first. Reply
Mumrik - Sunday, March 31, 2013 - linkYup. I noticed the trackpoint and got interested. The I saw the resolution and just jumped, and skimmed, the conclusion. Reply
speculatrix - Sunday, March 31, 2013 - link+1
Now that you can fly replace a desktop computer with a laptop/notebook computer and not compromise on performance, storage, memory or GPU, the only real differentiator is screen quality and build quality.
Whenever I see a laptop review here the first thing I look for its the screen resolution and type. This means that this HP will never be considered for my next laptop replacement due in 4 months. Reply
Stephen Owen - Tuesday, September 17, 2013 - linkThis is a beautiful laptop with every other feature you would want. To scimp so badly on the literally feature which integrates the user with the computer (The flipping screen!!) is penny-pinching shortsightedness as bad as I've ever seen.
This thing looks wonderful and exudes desirability. Until you turn it on. Ten seconds with the screen and you know it was hamstrung by someone's red ink. Reply
frostyfiredude - Friday, March 29, 2013 - link1300$ for a 1366x768 TN with 159:1 contrast ratio. That's embarrassing. Does HP no long have standards? 199$ netbooks had better displays. Reply
mayankleoboy1 - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkDidnt Intel specify that for a Notebook to be labelled as an Ultrabook, it had to have 1080P display ? Reply
JarredWalton - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkI wish! Maybe in the Haswell (3rd Gen Ultrabook) we can get that? Doubtful, though -- and really, I'm not sure we'd even see it in the generation after that. Honestly, until Windows can handle DPI scaling perfectly, I don't see it happening. Windows 8 skirts the issue by doing well on the new Windows 8 UI and Apps, but not on desktop apps. Reply
jabber - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkTime to just send those poor screen machines straight back Jarred. Reply
James5mith - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkNo, Intel's new requirement is that Ultrabooks have touchscreens. Nothing about resolution sadly. Also, as a side rant: Why can we get 1080p panels on 13" laptops, and 15" laptops, but 14" laptops only come with 1600x900 as the max resolution? Reply
JDG1980 - Saturday, March 30, 2013 - linkWindows 7 already does DPI scaling quite well. Some apps do manage to screw it up, but that's really unavoidable unless you are going to force a walled garden. All the normal stuff that people use on a regular basis works fine at high DPI settings. Reply
nerd1 - Friday, March 29, 2013 - link$1349, 1.63kg and 1366*768 screen?
I always thought rMBP 13" are overpriced, but it seems to have better value than this one... Reply
VivekGowri - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkActually, after the price drop to $1499 ($1399 with student discount) the rMBP13 is a pretty decent value - an equivalent MBA13 costs $1299, you pay $200 more for the rMBP13 and get a vastly better screen, more ports, and faster CPU/IGP. The only ultrabook I could even think about recommending over it is the Zenbook Prime and ZBP Touch, because they play in lower price ranges. Reply
nerd1 - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkPersonally I think samsung series 9 is the best ultrabook out there, which is 1/2lbs lighter than other ultrabooks, looks gorgeous and packs a good matte PLS display. It's quite affordable too (I remember $800-900 deal for sandy bridge models... which are still pretty good)
That said, I just found out that one reseller now sells 13" rMBP at $1299!! This makes the 13" rMBP ironically the best value ultraportable (including ultrabooks) out there. :[ Reply
meacupla - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkOr how about a surface pro 128GB ($1000) with wedge keyboard ($50) and razer orochi mouse ($60)? Reply
ananduser - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkVivek...the rmbp13" does not have vPro, nor any other mac. That's before we get into the fact that it also lags under normal usage. You also forgot to add the Windows8 Pro cost, which is almost 300$; Windows8 Pro and Intel vPro are pretty standard requirements in this sector. Reply
Penti - Saturday, March 30, 2013 - linkNah, volume license upgrade covers the mac. vPro/AMT is obviously why we have machines like this HP. Reply
jonup - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkI just grabbed 3 Vizio CT15s for $600. I think that is better value than anything you mentioned including the MBP. Even at regular price <$900 this thing is a still. 15.6" 1080p IPS is just gorgeous. It has its shortcomings and the connectivity sucks, but with all the money saved I can purchase Bluetooth peripherals and call it the day. Reply
Penti - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkSo it supports 2 SODIMMs in dual-channel, HD+ screen as well as mSATA SSDs and docking station? It shouldn't be so lackluster but HP's always seem a bit tricky to get customized. Might not be an issue if your an large customer though, but for everyone else it might be difficult.
One question though, does it support two screens / monitors using the two DP-outputs that the combination with the ultraslim dock gives you? Reply
biostud - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkHP has Probooks and Elitebooks for business. If their naming scheme should make any sense, probooks should be average consumer notebook with business build and support. The Elitebooks should be the best money can buy, no compromises. When HP dropped the IPS screen on the Elitebooks, they stopped being Elitebooks.
-written on a hp probook 6360b Reply
tds456 - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkI stopped reading at 1366x768. Only while at the comments did I notice "Thankfully the 9470m can be ordered with a 1600x900 panel" You *really* need to include things like this in the specs, even if just in brackets saying option, otherwise people will just keep ignoring the reviews like this one. Reply
jabber - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkThe thing is the guys at Anand know how most of us feel about crappy screens yet they still keep reviewing them, knowing that 99% of us wouldn't buy it even if the rest of the machine is great.
It really is time to start pushing those review units back to the manufacturers telling them "Sorry, it's just not good enough! Try harder!"
Sure you might have a few less laptops to review but there are other things I'm sure. They also might start to get the message and send some quality gear.
The other thing is that blue or that stock Windows 8 purple just looks so crap on Windows 8. I change all my Windows 8 machines to dark grey and it looks so much better. Reply
A5 - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkPublic humiliation will do more than just pushing the units back to the PR team. They'd rather have no review than a bad review. Reply
damianrobertjones - Friday, March 29, 2013 - link"people want quality, and they're willing to pay for it." - Fair enough but 'most' users don't even know that they've got a 1366x768 screen.
"Because despite the fact that the MacBook Pro offers virtually no allowances for business class use, it's still gaining a foothold." - The ONLY reason why this is, is due to marketing and name ONLY. Reply
Dustin Sklavos - Saturday, March 30, 2013 - linkI strongly disagree. It may be that way at first in some cases, but people will see the display and they'll want it. Likewise, that display continues to make the MBP a superior choice for any kind of visual work that doesn't involve throwing FCPX out the window. Reply
JDG1980 - Saturday, March 30, 2013 - linkMost users may not be able to specify what resolution their laptop is running at, but they can clearly see that the rMBP has far sharper text and images and better color reproduction than cheap PC displays. It just plain looks better, by a significant margin. Reply
nerd1 - Sunday, March 31, 2013 - linkNon retina MBPs are still being sold, and they have class tailing 1280 800 resolution display. Yes it is TN too. Reply
sperho - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkThe display is somewhat disappointing in both the resolution and quality regard, but as someone who has been using a corporate issued laptop in a variety of brands for the past 15 years, this laptop is by far the best laptop I've ever had issued to me. I travel a fair bit and it's lightness, very respectable battery life, reasonable speed, port options, docking station, backlit keyboard... Oh, I LOVE this laptop. Would I buy it if I had control over what I get for work? No. One has to understand what this laptop if for and for whom by whom it is purchased. As such, it is by far the best machine that I've ever used for work. It isn't perfect, but it's great mobile option that even conservative IT departments will accept. Reply
sperho - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkI should add, my employer REQUIRES smartcard capability and it takes a phone call to security to gain temporary login credentials if we don't have our company pass on us (smartcard pass) to logon to the machine. There just aren't a huge variety of machines that have smartcard slots in them. That doesn't excuse the base display option, but given the options, it does it's job and does it well. Reply
crimson117 - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkThis would be fine as long as it's in a docking station attached to a large external monitor.
1366x768 is not usable even for business email, let alone productivity apps.
And then to offer crappy quality 1366x768 put the nail in the coffin. Reply
Colin1497 - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkDoes anyone actually pay list price for this stuff? When I was last involved in IT budgets, Dell used to give us pretty steep discounts on everything and we were a relatively small company. I'd guess that loyal HP customers pay $1000 or less for this $1300 laptop, or more likely, right around $1300 with all the upgrades you'd expect (screen, RAM, etc.) Reply
gostan - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkSo, the razer edge with a 13x7 display @ 2k is an interesting beginning. the elitebook folio with a 13x7 display at 1.4k is not ok? Reply
marc1000 - Friday, March 29, 2013 - link338mm x 231mm x 18.9 is not groundbreaking compared to 329mm x 226mm x 23.8-27.8mm, found on the LG P430 released 2 years ago with a Sandy Bridge CPU. sure it thinner, but it is not smaller in any other dimension. I guess the wheight would be more of an advance. It is a nice evolution though, it just has to happen to ALL notebooks, including the cheaper ones. Reply
darwinosx - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkIt is ridiculous and ignorant to say Apple inflates their prices. Thats the sort of linkbait and immature comment I would expect to see on Engadget, not Anandtech. They have some custom components, much higher quality panels that they actually calibrate, and far superior service and support and quality control which costs money.
You can buy a 13-inch retina display Macbook for as little as $1299. Show me a PC laptop that remotely approaches that. Plus you still have to use Microsoft's latest mediocrity of an OS. Reply
Asmodian - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkApple's margins are much higher than the industry norm. It costs them less to make their devices than they sell them for compared to other manufacturers. What else would you call it? Reply
scottish_usa - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkAs a business consultant I've been a road warrior for the past 16 years or so and a good dependable laptop is key. I have had a couple of iterations of the HP EliteBook for the past two years and they are rock solid. Quiet, light, sturdy, reliable and with good battery life. I'd take a thinkpad over this if the option was there but compared to the lucklustre offerings of Dell this is a good work machine.
As with most, I dock and use a large bright LCD panel at work. In meetings it's connected to a 1080p conference room projector. The built in panel only gets used if I am working remote or using it in transit.
Specs don't tell you the full story and you don't really think a customer buying 1000 units pays full retail do you ? Reply
Little Elephant - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkMy previous Fujitsu NOTEBOOK is lighter, cheaper, have a bigger volume of hard drive and not the less battery life than this "Ultrabook". What's wrong with hp's engineering? Reply
gamoniac - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkI agree with the other readers. Why waste our time and bandwidth reviewing a laptop with 768P screen? Sorry, Dustin, but I skipped this article. Thanks for your time. Reply
bradcollins - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkI have sold a handful of these to our business customers over the last 6 months and I completely agree with the review, the laptop is well put together and being an ultrabook with a dock is the main reason why we sell them. The feature I like the most is that they actually have buttons for the touchpads which actually work unlike the horrible clickpads most companies seem to use in Ultrabooks - maybe due to the overall depth of the notebook?
We have just sold a 9470m with a 1600x900 screen, the 1366x768 screen is complete crap and when I saw the higher res panel get launched a few weeks ago I got quite excited. This one will be about the highest spec one can buy, an i7 3687u, 8gb ram, 256gb ssd (I assume it will be a micron) and of course the 1600x900 screen.
The 1600x900 screen still has crappy viewing angles according to HP's specification sheet, so I don't expect I'll be amazed by it, but at least it will have a larger resolution Reply
The0ne - Friday, March 29, 2013 - linkCan't agree with you and others more on this subject. It's depressing and ludicrous to see laptops like these. This unit is 3.5+lbs, that's not an ultrabook. The screen is a real shame and anyone in their right mind shouldn't be buying this at all. This is one where I will agree to some boycotting via your wallet :) Reply

chanman - Saturday, March 30, 2013 - linkSpeaking of chiclet keyboards, I just took a look at Lenovo's website and... when did they roll out chiclets across all their model lines? Time ones was, only the near-consumer Edges and sub 12" ultraportables had them, but it looks like its standard now, even on their W-class mobile workstations Reply

Chiclet keys or not are really minor points compared to layout. Left side getting full keys or right side having an easy to hit enter and shift is way more important than chiclet or not. Reply
JDG1980 - Saturday, March 30, 2013 - linkAgree with everyone else - at this price point, 1366x768 TN is an absolute deal-breaker, completely inexcusable. The *minimum* acceptable standard should be 1080p IPS. You can get away with a cheap panel on a $299 bargain-basement special, but they have no place in Ultrabooks. Reply

antiocles - Saturday, March 30, 2013 - linkI work inside a certain company that uses exclusively HP notebooks for the employees. It amazes me how many people will, as the first thing they do on a new computer, drop the resolution down to ridiculously low levels with badly distorted text. They don't seem to be able to read larger text, and have grown used to the distortion. I cringe every time I see someone with a nice high res IPS screen on their mobile workstation running down at these resolutions.
We all here agree that this screen is crap and worthless, but I know there are a surprisingly large number of workers in the enterprise market that look at a higher res screen as a downside... :-( Reply
StrangerGuy - Sunday, March 31, 2013 - linkThat's why bargain basement laptops keep selling, most users simply don't care and won't pay for quality.
The real joke however is Intel thinks they can take those, put in a smaller form factor then jack up the price so much and expect to sell crazy numbers like iPhone 4 did. Reply
danbi - Sunday, March 31, 2013 - linkLet's leave the crappy display alone, no one caring about the productivity of their workers will buy such when better are available.
But one other thing continues to amaze me -- the obsession of those PC makers with proprietary docking solutions. Not only are they vendor proprietary, but they also change from model to model, even in the same generation! What is wrong with those people? Why not just stick to something like Thunderbolt and be done???
No Thunderbolt docks available? Then, why wait? Just build ONE Thunderbolt dock for all of your notebooks and have the market. Reply

SteveLord - Sunday, March 31, 2013 - linkHere's how you can tell most of those commenting do not work in an enterprise environment, much less any sort of IT. Every time a business laptop is reviewed, they immediately focus on screen resolution and never let go of it. Reply
danbi - Sunday, March 31, 2013 - linkDo you suggest that those who work for "enterprises" should suffer from low screen resolution? So that they cannot see more on the screen and be more productive? Only "toys" should have quality screens?
HP used to have better displays. My 8 years old 15" HP laptop has 1920x1200 display. Why this crap now? Why an "elite" business laptop has to have such mediocre display? Reply
SteveLord - Sunday, March 31, 2013 - linkIt could be $500 and people would still whine about the resolution. It happens everytime for every laptop or tablet. I have 20 of these issued and they have been a huge hit. Now I agree that except for the Dreamcolor series, HP screens could be better. And I agree these should be priced lower. But your average corporate/enterprise user won't notice or care about anything beyond the size of the screen itself and how heavy or light the laptop is. Reply
meacupla - Sunday, March 31, 2013 - linkfor $500? 1366x768 is fine, as long as the viewing angles and colours are acceptable. This is the case with Asus X202E. X202E uses a semi decent TN panel, unlike this $1300 garbage from HP. Reply
Tams80 - Tuesday, April 02, 2013 - linkI wish you could get 1920x1200 on ANY laptop now. As far as I know there aren't any newish ones with that resolution. =( The last were a 17" HP Elitebook with Dreamcolour display and the 17" MBP if I recall correctly. Reply
Grennum - Monday, April 01, 2013 - linkLets take a piece of serious business software like MS Dynamics AX. I watch people all day fighting with low res screens constantly scrolling around instead of being productive. Then they see me using my high res screen(on a engineering laptop) and are amazed that I don't have to do that.
Just because people have never known any different doesn't mean it's unimportant. It is the result of companies like HP pushing required IT features (like smart card readers) and low cost at the expense of productivity and the IT departments not caring. It is not the users, it is the IT department who should be pushing back on this.
The average user doesn't know or need to know the resolution spec, but they should know that the person who did spec the machine cared, which I find is often not the case. Reply
hrrmph - Sunday, March 31, 2013 - linkThe reviewer nailed it on this one.
HP got credit where credit was due (SSD, USB 3.0, etc.). But, he rightly scorched them on the display and keyboard.
We shouldn't have to turn in our classics for equipment that is inferior, even if it is thinner.

blazeoptimus - Saturday, April 06, 2013 - linkI was very disappointed in this article. It's obvious Dustin is reviewing this device from a consumer oriented device perspective. All of the objections mentioned are valid more for a laptop you'd find in best buy, the one your considering your corporation. Take for example the screen. I'm not a fan of the 1366x768 res, and I'd opt for a 1600x900 screen for myself if it were available. That being said, the primary reason you'd choose this laptop over a standard ultrabook would be its docking station (something only briefly touched on in the article). If your using a docking station, then your most likely using external monitors. Users will opt for larger, easier to read monitors, if available/practical. This means that the built in monitor really will only see light use, since users will use there docked displays most of the time. If you also include the fact that its not uncommon for corporate apps to be built to run in 1024x768, it becomes apparent that a 1366x768 screen is adequate for those few times a 'mobile' user will be away from his desk, but still need his laptop. The second point I take contention at is the 4 gig of ram. Again, it's fairly common for a corporate app to still be 32bit. Some major apps will still not run on 64bit windows. Even with the ones that are, it's very rare for an office worker or exec to need more than 4 gig to run there corporate apps. In these cases, the 4 gig is a waste. Also, by going with one chip, it's very easy to bump it to 8 if the need arises. As to the price, its competitive with other business class ultra books. Service and build quality are usually better on business class items, so there not priced in the same category.
In short, again, your applying the rules we'd use when buying a personal laptop to a laptop that was never intended for that market. You should be looking at it from the perspective of laptop that could easily see deployments in the thousands for an organization. In this context your points of 'rage' hold less validity.

MrSpadge - Sunday, April 07, 2013 - linkBeing thin (as in Ultrabook-thin) does almost nothing for an "Enterprise". However, being expensive, having a screen unsuitable for real work and only a 17 W CPU do hurt. Looks like a really unbalanced product. Reply
sperho - Thursday, May 02, 2013 - linkI'm an enterprise user and I couldn't disagree more. I travel. A lot. I love the thinness and this alternative hit the spot. The screen is useable for mobile computing and when I'm in my office, I have two 22+" monitors that fit the bill. This computer is a mobile *option* within our company. More desk-bound employees do not and are not recommended to choose it; we have other options for those folks. Reply
Wolfehosue - Tuesday, April 09, 2013 - linkThe HD+ screen is released. This is the hold back for this form. The device is as thin as it can be while including VGA so if they drop that it can go thinner. Still limited with RJ45 but could be thinner than a Mac Air. Reply

At native resolution 1368 x 768, the native font (without distortion) is just the right size. A second large 1080p extra monitor can be attached to the slim docking station for graphic and serious business work.

A 33-year-old binman from Herefordshire who drank four fish in a cocktail of alcohol has walked free from court after being charged with animal cruelty.
Paul Wooding was sentenced at Hereford Magistrates' Court, over two offences linked to the online Neknominate craze, in an incident in a pub which happened in February.
Wooding was handed an 18 month conditional discharge, concurrent, for causing unnecessary suffering to an animal, and also for failing to protect the fish, after being prosecuted by the RSPCA.
He admitted both charges in court earlier this month.
In the video, Wooding, of Brampton Avenue, Ross-on-Wye, announces "this is my Neknominate" before downing a pint glass of wine, gin, vodka, rum and lemonade - together with the fish.
Rafe Turner, prosecuting, said it was a professional vet's opinion "the fish have been caused pain, based on the video evidence".
The footage came to the RSPCA'S attention after it was seen on Wooding's Facebook page.
In it, after downing the cocktail, he nominates four other people to join the drinking game.
The Neknominate phenomenon is understood to have emerged in Australia, with Wooding's believed to be the fifth such case to come to court in connection with the craze.
After being interviewed about the video, Wooding later posted on Facebook: "Some people's lives must be that sad and boring, to get any excitement they have to report me to the RSPCA for my Neknominate."
Wooding told investigators he had been nominated to drink by friends and "something was going around to get some fish, to make it different".
Mr Turner said he told the RSPCA the fish were "little minnows" and he had got them out of his friend's fish tank an hour before carrying out the act.
Wooding said he had drunk about eight pints and six double gins, before downing the cocktail at the Golf Inn, in Ross.
Chris Morgan, in mitigation, questioned why the prosecution had ever made it to court when cautions had been issued for "other similar matters".
He added: "Yes, those fish may have experienced pain and then died, but they are small fish, nothing more."
He said the offences should be looked at objectively, and that comparing the fishes' deaths, for example, to four horses would be "contrary to common sense".
Mr Morgan added his client was "stupid, irresponsible and ashamed" but had already suffered having been exposed to "public ridicule" and the press spotlight.
Wooding, he said, had no idea his drinking the fish was against the law.
"If it can ever be said of a crime, that a defendant has learned the error of his ways, it can be said here," said Mr Morgan.
Wooding was also ordered to pay £500 costs and a £15 victim surcharge.
After the hearing, RSPCA inspector Mark Lewis said: "There was a deliberate decision to take these fish and swallow them as part of this irresponsible game.
"The fish suffered unnecessarily and it is simply not acceptable to treat an animal in this way purely for amusement."

PHILADELPHIA – The University of Pennsylvania volleyball team started the 2013 campaign on the road in College Park, Md. Now it's time to come home and set up shop at the Quakers' home court, The Palestra, as they host Delaware Tuesday night and the Crowne Plaza Philadelphia West Penn Invitational over the weekend. Tuesday's match with the Blue Hens starts at 7 p.m.
Video/Live Stats For Tuesday
Click here for the Penn Sports Network's live video stream broadcast.
Click here to follow the game's live stats via GameTracker.
Despite starting the season 0-3 after the University of Maryland Invitational, Coach Carr has a good feeling about her team. Taking two sets from LIU Brooklyn and one apiece from UMKC and Maryland, the Red and Blue are several positions deep and working through different rotations. Libero Dani Shepherd finished the weekend with 75 digs and was named to the All-Tournament Team. Five players finished the weekend with double-figure kill totals, led by Jasmine DeSilva's 41; Kristen Etterbeek had 32 and Alex Caldwell finished with 30. Caldwell also had 76 assists, 29 digs and six blocks, while Ronnie Bither finished with 67 assists.
Scouting the Blue Hens
Delaware started its 2013 season the same way Penn started, with a 0-3 record. After this past weekend's tournament play, however, the Blue Hens sit at an even 3-3 record. Sophomore Ariel Shonk was named the Colonial Athletic Association Volleyball Co-Defensive Player of the Week, helping Delaware to the Radisson Cross Keys Greyhound Challenge title this past weekend with 55 digs and nine assists. She also posted a match-best 25 digs against UMBC and ranks fifth in the league, averaging 3.89 digs. Shonk was the 2012 CAA Defensive Specialist of the Year.
Last Meeting
When these two squads last met, last year in Newark, it looked to be in the home team's favor. Delaware started strong, snatching the first two sets, 22-25, 23-25. However, the Quakers rallied and won the next three sets, 25-21, 26-24, 15-13, in one of the most historic comebacks in the program's history. Shepherd surpassed the school record of individual match records in digs with 46; she held the record previously at 45.
The Libero
There is no question that Dani Shepherd is on her way to an historic career. Just look at some ofthe single-match, single-season, and career dig numbers already accumulated by the Ivy League's 2012 Defensive Player of the Year and the 2012 NCAA Digs-Per-Game leader...
Single-Game Digs
46 … Dani Shepherd (9/19/12 at Delaware)
45 … Dani Shepherd (10/1/11 vs. Harvard)
43 … Dani Shepherd (9/22/12 vs. Princeton)
41 … Dani Shepherd (9/10/11 vs. Alabama)
40… Madison Wojciechowski (11/1/08 vs. Cornell)
Single-Season Digs
617 … Dani Shepherd (2012)
607 … Madison Wojciechowski (2009)
Career Digs
2,141… Madison Wojciechowski (2007-10)
1,525… Cara Thomason (2002-05)
1,350 … Dani Shepherd (2010-present)
The Freshmen
Kenneth L. Gross Head Coach of Volleyball Kerry Carr has recruited three athletes to add to her class of 2017, an outside hitter and two middle blockers. Rachel Baader hails from Kildeer, Ill. and attended Stevenson High School, where she unfortunately missed her senior year due to injury. In 2011, Baader was highlighted in the Chicago Tribune as one of the city's top performers. Lexi Slotkoff joins the Quakers after playing for McLean High School in McLean, Va. Slotkoff was a basketball player and didn't start playing volleyball until 2010. Though she missed a few games her senior year due to injury, she still collected 170 kills and 45 blocks (25 solo). Finally, what is a Penn volleyball freshman class without having a member from California? Arielle Winfield, a native of LA, finished her career at Harvard-Westlake High School by winning the Mission League and totaling 200 kills and 19 blocks. Winfield also played on the same club team as teammate Dani Shepherd. The new additions provide depth to Coach Carr's roster and will compete for starting positions.

Someone had to say it, might as well be me
it's the most important show this fall season
I've never watched it. But it looks like crap.
And that doctor was once Ronald Miller from Can't Buy Me Love.
Edit: Okay, so now that I read the blog piece I realize that Ed covered the Ronald Miller business.
But did you know that Courtney Gaines, the guy who plays Ronald's erstwhile friend in CBML, also played "Malachai" in Children of the Corn?
Top that, Ed.

Good stuff. I've never seen the show and, after reading your piece of scathe, I never will.
The thing I can't stand about these medical shows is the insistence of playing the hospital background noises: beep, beep, beep....
I had to stop watching ER because it is just too much drama to take- you've seen one emergency room operation you've seen them all, so 14 years of it gets a bit old.
Television doesn't have to be that realistic. I don't need the constant heart rate monitor sounding off to each pulse anymore than I need to see Dr. McDreamy sitting on the toilet.
Yes, I know it happens in real life, but some things we can just assume are happening without seeing them.
The second I heard the beeps on Grey's Anatomy....click.
That noise reminds of me of being in Shillito's as a kid...they used to have a beep that went over the intercom that cut through me at six years of age.
What on earth did they use that for? Ding, ding, ding....Oh, crap, I know that tone: like the abattoir doors had opened.
My Mother would drag me shopping as a kid and if we went there I would just bawl.
Also hated the trips to McAlpin's in Cherry Grove. They had a toy section the size of a shoebox. But I don't think they had that noise....
Anyway- Ed, nice job with the piece, but if sex romps bohter you, I'd stay away from Nip/Tuck.
When that show is on, I am usually reading, and I always ask my girlfriend if all they do on that show is have sex. I'll have my nose in one of my James Madison books and suddenly hear those...um...sounds, and it's like, geesh enough already.
I'm no prude, trust me, but at some point I start to wonder why I pay for Cinemax....(if Nip/Tuck were on in the early 80s, it would be ON Plus lol...)
I love this show. I'm so glad there's finally a show out there that doesn't demonize women for doing 1/10th of what men have done for centuries. And portrays them in an intelligent and savvy light, and makes the show about THEM and their careers and rather than having their lives revolve totally around men.
Oh, and Meredith never slept with McVet, and McDreamy never told her he was married until the second season. And Izzy didn't kill Denny - he died of a stroke.
And that's not even mentioning some of Grey's more positive features: 3 African American major castmembers, 1 Latina, 1 Korean.
Just out of curiousity for Ed: would you respond in the negative fashion with the equivalent of the 'w' word if this was a show about 4 guys who slept with more than one person in their entire life? Because I can't help escape the notion that some of the negative backlash towards this show (and there actually is very little - it's doing a 23-25 in the Nielsens right now), much like Sex and the City, is grounded in this extraordinarily hypocritical and distorted notion that men who have sleep with more than one person are bachelors whereas the women are the w or s word.
First of all, it's all a big joke. Kinda just pokin' fun at the whole explosion in popularity.
I actually find the "PC" stuff in the show to be somewhat force-fed. It's as if they are trying TOO hard to accomplish the things you mention. And if they REALLY wanted to make a show about female surgeons accomplishing great professional things, they'd leave out the other stuff all together-- but of course they can't do that because no one would watch.
As for the "W" word. I probably would not use that term to describe a man in the same situation. Your're right. And it IS a bit hypocritical, no doubt. However, it's a generalized, humor-piece about a FICTIONAL show, so everything is exxagerrated and over-the-top, both the show and my take on it.
Like I said, it's purely a joke.
I bet that they don't do the African Anteater Dance on that show....
"Booing on opening day is like telling grandma her house smells like old lady."--WOY
Another thing that bothers me about shows like Ally McBeal and Sex and the City is the way they do revolve around men. And those men are stereotyped, usually by their profession -- the dorky comic-book shop guy, the button-down lawyer, the flighty artist. Then they play off those stereotypes, the comic-book guy is great in bed while the agressive businessman is passive in bed, etc.... In short, its reductive garbage. Pass.

A prison pharmacy technician is enjoying a second job – and on a mission to "get Otley fit".
Sarina Corney decided last winter to put her life-long passion for keeping fit to profitable use and signed up with the national Lifetime Training network.
She then began training in earnest and, after gaining her Level 2 qualification in fitness instruction with indoor spin, boot camps and circuits in September 2013, set up The Chevin Fit Club. The 32-year-old said: "I chose Lifetime Training because of their excellent reputation and there was a training centre just down the road, at the Leeds De Vere centre.
"It was hard work juggling both the training and work but knowing I was getting closer to my dream inspired me to continue and now I have two jobs that I love that work around each other."
Sarina is now helping about 30 residents to keep in shape and achieve their fitness and/or weight-loss goals at her base on Otley Chevin and is hoping to expand in the future.

Paranoia is a common side effect for those who abuse crystal meth. Tweakers are always paranoid that the cops are following them or that there are people outside their apartment lurking in the shadows. Crystal meth addicts will spend hours on end looking out the blinds, paranoid that there is someone out there to get them. When in reality it's completely all in their heads. I personally never had this experience; I was never afraid of the police arresting me and I never thought there were people in the shadows stalking me. My paranoia was completely wrapped up with something else…. My boyfriend.
Over the last several months the relationship between Erik and I had become very strained. I was constantly jealous of him giving any amount of attention to other guys and was convinced that he was constantly cheating on me and doing things behind my back. Erik had his issues and he did lie to me on occasion, however there's a very good chance that most of the time I thought Erik was fucking around me, he wasn't.
It was my own warped brain that was convincing me that everyone was out there to take Erik away from me. Lack of trust can cause huge problems in any relationship but when you add crystal meth into the mix, you're pretty much signing yourself up for disaster. At times crystal meth could make me feel like I could accomplish anything, I had no fear. But when it came to my relationship with my boyfriend crystal meth took away all of my confidence; I was completely paranoid and insecure.
Don't know why it bothered me. It shouldn't have, but seeing you lay comfortable in Robert's bed made me angry. What made me more angry is that I stood there for 30 seconds and you never even noticed me. I swear it always seems that I'm trying to fight for your attention and I'm usually left alone.
After I stood there in the doorway unnoticed I went to our room. OUR room! Since it's our room I don't understand why you're laying on Robert's bed. You're not even talking! Neither is he! So why not go to your own room?
I admit I have a lot of fucking issues. But is it so hard to expect attention and affection from your boyfriend of nearly six months? I just wish you noticed me a little more. Perhaps you do notice me, you probably do. It's my fault I can't vocalize my feelings. Part of me thinks that if I vocalized everything I thought, such as this incident, you would just get mad at me. I hate when you're angry, your face changes completely almost as if you were possessed. I really hate when you're angry because it's usually because of something I did. I wish you'd laugh and smile more. You rarely laugh, but when you do it tends to bring me so much joy. I love seeing you happy. I wish I could make you happy all the time, or even an hour out of the day. A lot of times I don't think I possess enough of whatever it takes to make you happy; eventually you'll realize this and leave me.
When I got sober my self-confidence was pretty broken, I was still insecure and dealing with all the pain and feelings I had been pushing away by using drugs. I was very uncomfortable at social events and was afraid of talking to people out of fear or rejection. I thought everyone was talking about me behind my back and that nobody liked me. It was Junior High all over again. This of course was not the case and was all in my head.
After working a recovery program for several years and maintaining my sobriety I have been able to build up my self-confidence and am secure with who I am today. My relationships with people are healthy now and I no longer have to actively seek out validation to know I am good enough.
