The more I think about this, the more mad I get. Why not call it the "Barefoot and Pregnant" laptop. How about "The Little Lady Must Have PMS" laptop. Why not the "Women are Chattel" laptop? Oh, I know, I know, ho about "No More Sufferage For Mindless Ladies" laptop. I am so seriously pissed about this, I am sending this to all my female friends to boycott ANYTHING HP makes.
@Curves: and nobody said HP was gonna take and implement any of these ideas. the guy is just throwing out some ideas. and don't spare INTEL from your wrath. they were part of these shenanigans.
@RainierWolfcastle: I love windmills (such clever inventions) and just because something is both pointless AND impossible doesnt mean it shouldnt be done. Its never stopped me before now. Futile attempts at pointless events can be very freeing. You should try it sometime.
As a female electronics consumer, I am insulted that HP thinks we are so STUPID as to want these dumb ass features, especially the weight and manicure postions. Why not just call it "Dont worry your pretty head about the specs and see how it matches your outfit." Do they REALLY think that will sell??? This kind of condescending BS will make me NEVER recomend ANYTHING that HP makes to any of my co-workers and clients.
And wow. A notebook that you stand on to weight yourself... I suppose it comes equipped with a durability level that lets you stomp on it or throw it across the room without irreparable damage?
@Tony C: Even without your post I'm sure Jezebel is/would have a field day on this one, did you notice the one with footprints on it... Bathroom scale? really? no, seriously! REALLY?

So, you're boycotting HP... over a CONCEPT... created by a THIRD PARTY. And one that will NEVER see the light of day. Have fun tilting at windmills.
