Analysis: The Yoga Tablet 10 HD+'s gorgeous display is what makes it special
Posted: February 28, 2014 at 1:43 am
BARCELONAI only had 30 minutes with Lenovos Yoga Tablet 10 HD+, announced just before the start of this weeks Mobile World Congress. It was enough to make this longtime Windows user think Android thoughts.
It wasnt just the design, although thats one of the tablets main selling points. With a brushed-metal, silvery, or champagne-gold finish, and a Qualcomm Snapdragon Quad 1.6GHz processor, the latest Yoga Tablet is a significant step up from its pokey and plasticky Yoga Tablet 8 cousin, reviewed late last year.
The new Yoga Tablet has the same neato kickstand that lets you prop the tablet in portrait mode at a fairly steep angle, or in landscape mode at a lower angle. Although the kickstand is a bit difficult to pry away from the main body, its nonetheless a subtle and useful design element that gives you more choices for how to use your tablet around the house. The battery cylinder continues to pull double-duty as a comfy handle, as well as a power source.
But Im all about the visuals, and what I love most about this tablet is the 10.1-inch HD display, with a resolution of 1920 by 1200 pixels. When so many tablets and even low-end notebooks seem stuck at 1366 by 768 pixels, this nicer quality helps the Yoga Tablet 10 HD+ shine.
I kept wanting to attach the optional keyboard ($59) to the tablet, but its completely wireless and also functions as a tablet cover that slides on and off easily.
As my colleague Florence Ion noted after her hands-on time with the tablet, Lenovo took a cool design and executed it much better with the Lenovo Yoga Tablet 10 HD+. Due to ship in May 2014 for a price of $349, it could be just the stylish, clever product to lure people away from less remarkable competitors, and possibly evendare I suggest itan iPad user or two.

Women Suing Hot Yoga Guru For Alleged Sexual Assault Come Forward
Posted: at 1:43 am
ABC Entertainment News | ABC Business NewsCopy
The pioneer of "hot yoga" Bikram Choudhury is now under fire himself, defending his yoga empire against lawsuits brought by women claiming sexual misconduct.
In the last year, five women have filed civil lawsuits against Bikram, one of the richest, most successful yoga gurus in the world. All five of them accuse Bikram of sexually assaulting them. Four of the women accuse him of rape.
Hes a sick man, plaintiff Sarah Baughn told ABC News' "Nightline" correspondent David Wright. I hope he gets some help.
Baughn was the first alleged victim to speak up, recently telling her story to Vanity Fair magazine. Her appearance on "Nightline" along with two other women pursuing lawsuits against Bikram and his Yoga College of India is the first time the alleged victims have detailed their claims on camera.
Baughn, a former yoga champion, told "Nightline" she met Bikram in 2005 when she attended his teacher training course. The grueling nine-week course, which costs thousands of dollars, is led by Bikram and is the only way to become a Bikram yoga teacher.
Baughn, 20 at the time, said Bikram took an immediate interest in her.
He told me there was a connection between the two of us that he had never felt before, Baughn said, adding he claimed to have known her in a past life.
Part of me felt a little bit funny, she added. "But still part of me felt like I might be his favorite. This is crazy!
Baughn said Bikram repeatedly made unwanted advances, starting by giving her the gold Rolex watch off his wrist in the middle of class just three days into training. She said she gave it back after class.
