Wikitravel:Logo voting page/Round 1
This is the voting page for the first round of the Logo contest. The three designs with the most votes will go on into the second round. Note that the objective is to select the design or idea of Wikitravel's new logo, not the final implementation.
About Logos[edit]
It might be a good idea to read up a bit before voting. WikiPedia has some good information on Logo design and some common mistakes and links to some really good articles like this one.
Also it would be worthwhile to read this classic essay by Paul Rand. Here's a summary:
he goes on to say that a logo depends on the following qualities to function
About the entries[edit]
About voting[edit]
You can vote for as many of the logos as you like, but you can't vote for the same logo twice. Votes can be changed during the voting period and authors can vote for their own logos. Votes will only be accepted from logged in users and admins have full discretion for determining vote validity.
There will be two rounds of voting. The first round will be to decide the top semifinalists. The second round will determine which of the entries will become our new logo. In the event of a tie in either round, voting continues until a tie-breaker vote is cast.
Final results[edit]
The logos qualifying for the second round are:
Results for other logos:

Contest Ballot[edit]
Silly Entry[edit]
In my humble opinion, the logo must combine two elements :
Besides, the logo must "iconifiable".
But this one is no fun.

Terrible. Just terrible.

I amost went for this one; like arabic lines... SurfingSpider 22:45, 5 Aug 2005 (GMT+8:00)
Puzzle Logo[edit]
Very nice! The colors are a bit, um, Microsoft-y though — I'm reminded of the Windows logo... and I don't think this will scale down very well. Jpatokal 21:48, 26 Jun 2005 (EDT)
This is such an obviously strong image by itself that it seems unecessary to say so, but I'll say it anyway. -- Mark 23:27, 3 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Very distinctive. A strong branding statement. I think a color study of this would be interesting; trying the logo with different color schemes? Thoughts?
One of the good things about it is that some specific details can be changed, but it still has the same feel. Some people have suggest changing some of the symbols to non-transport travel things, like a bed. Colors can easily be changed; it looks ok even with the colors removed. To scale it down, we could have just one puzzle piece with a W in it, for like a favicon. --22.214.171.124 01:24, 4 Aug 2005 (EDT)
I believe that Evan's a bit busy with other things right now, so I'm going to add his comment from the talk pages that he's concerned that using a puzzle theme in our branding could cause confusion about our relationship with WikiPedia, or rather the lack thereof. I'd like to know what some WikiPedians think about that.
That said, I'd also like to point out that the Compass Star below is in effect a treatment of exactly this logo the logo being just the text part, especially if the puzzle tabs were to be put back in between the compass tabs. The reason I say this is that we use the same font, so the actual logo part of the logo is exactly the same between the two. The colours would need to be adjusted in both and the kerning in this one, but otherwise you could use a puzzle-like compass star along with this as part of a branding scheme. -- Mark 04:03, 4 Aug 2005 (EDT)
I like this one a lot as well- just the colors are M$... Nicamds 15:15, 5 Aug 2005 (EDT)
I want to re-iterate that I think that puzzle pieces tread a little too closely to Wikipedia's logo. --Evan 16:02, 8 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Given time, for the next round of voting, I'm going to do multiple versions in different colors. I'm also going to list separately a bunch of possible mini logos that can be put into the logo. --User:Comrade009
I kinda like this one, although it's not my top choice. The smileys are a little silly, but it's powerful in its simplicity and the color scheme is elegant. Jpatokal 23:54, 3 Aug 2005 (EDT)
I also like it, and I also don't like the histerically happy smileys.
I also like it, because it is a simple logo. For a lot of other logos, people who made them did think a lot about it and are probably proffetionals, but youy see that. So it looks either like the logo of a tentacular multinational corporation, or the one of a useless.com with a 25 years CEO who wants to make as much money as possible before the planned fraudulent bankrupcy. Lets make it simple. Like a GNU head or a penguin... The WT of that logo can also be a tiny black and white special character.
I am going to vote for my own creation. Yes I agree the smileys "look a bit silly", it was added to emphasis the "happy community" feeling. Yes, this logo can be seen as boring, but it was the first introducing the idea of vcreating a mark out of WIKITRAVEL. Talking about WT and associateing it with colors is a powerfull way of distributing a logo. I LIKE IT!
I like that this is simple, but I don't like the fact that it leans so much on typography. What would it look like in Japanese, for example? --Evan 16:03, 8 Aug 2005 (EDT)
I like this late entry quite a bit. What's the font? Hopefully not commercial... -- Mark 11:54, 8 Aug 2005 (EDT)
This is a late entry, the font is: compacta blk bt
à JS[edit]
Colorful, smooth, detailed, and just plain cool. Bob rulz 06:20, 5 Aug 2005 (EDT)
I don't think this makes a color palette very easy to extract. --Evan 16:05, 8 Aug 2005 (EDT)
This one would definetly be cool on WikiTravel maps! Nicamds 15:19, 5 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Diagonal W[edit]
I like the idea behind this one a lot, although the implementation needs some work (mostly just being turned into vector image) and the font is not very good. I can see the un-rotated version on the spine of a book, for instance. Jpatokal 23:54, 3 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Yes, it's really slick, and quite pretty. I agree that the text has to change. Of course it doesn't say anything about the wiki process, but that may really not be so much of an issue. -- Mark 04:36, 4 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Oh, and I agree with Jpatokal that it should probably be un-rotated. -- Mark 04:49, 4 Aug 2005 (EDT)
What? It looks much cooler rotated and the text is fine. The text doesn't need to be stylish to look good. Bob rulz 06:27, 5 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Text font can be improved AnyFile 15:32, 7 Aug 2005 (EDT)
I like this concept the best, but how about using the font from Owl's logo? Greenman 16:50, 7 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Clean, clear, attractive. My only negative is that it looks too commercial, I would assume it is for a travel agency, rather than a WikiProject. Eoghanacht 16:04, 8 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Compass Star[edit]
Too generic. Could be a logo for anything, such as beauty supplies or facial tissue.
Pretty versatile logo, as Mark has already demonstrated. You can modify the composition in any way but it still has the same feel. Can be easily adapted for merchandise, the web, fav icons, etc. Good work. --Comrade009 15:52, 3 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Very, very smooth implementation! You've obviously put a lot of thought into it and I like the 2nd row (text on lower right), but for favicon/tiny logos the "w" should be in the same place, not above. The font is also very professional-looking. The only thing I don't like about this is that it's kinda generic, the connection to travel is not that obvious. Jpatokal 23:54, 3 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Thanks for the kind words Jpatokal! The answer to both of your concerns is that this image is meant to be a Compass Star, to be placed on a map. The version with the "w" above would be put on maps, with the "w" for "wiki" replacing the traditional "N" for "North". You are quite correct that there would need to be a small version with a "w" next to the star as well.
To me the fact that the emblem part is a compass star for a map pretty much says travel, as do the fact that you can imagine the two bits travelling through the air. Of course I can totally understand why you might not see it that way.
By the way, as noted above: if the puzzle logo were ultimately selected we could just add the puzzle concept back (and adjusting the colors) into this one and still use it as a compass star in part of a wider branding scheme, especially since the actual logo part (the text) is exactly the same. Get out a copy of a Lonely Planet to see how their logo (mostly type, with a circle) and their Compass Star work together. -- Mark 04:14, 4 Aug 2005 (EDT)
This Logo is a Logo - elegant, good colours, well scalable, big recall value - simply great work. --PhilipP 07:31, 6 Aug 2005 (EDT)
I think this is by far the best logo. It doesn't depend on typography; it has a minimal set of colors; it's pleasant to look at and as Mark showed with some other images we can change the compass parts into paper airplanes and back again. I'd love to see this become the next Wikitravel logo. --Evan 16:08, 8 Aug 2005 (EDT)
Existing Logo[edit]
Here's a list of thing that I think are wrong with the current logo. I'd like to make it clear that I don't mean to cast any aspersion on the designer of this logo, just that these are problems that make it difficult for us to use. Many of these problems are very common ones with logos in the IT industry:
Anyhow, some of these complaints can be remedied but the Swoosh pretty much can't be. Of course it is a website, but still -- Mark 15:32, 3 Aug 2005 (EDT)
90s rock! It would be great as a revolving sculpture. -- SurfingSpider 22:49, 5 Aug 2005 (GMT+8:00)

★★★★★ - "I cannot tell you how much I appreciated working with Jose Martinez. I live in the state of California and needed someone that I could trust to work on my mom's home in Tacoma Washington, an excellent job."
Harvey Knight in Tacoma, WA2020-07-09
★★★★★ - "Devon just left our home and we had to hop online immediately to express our gratitude for his amazing service. Due to a clogged line and dysfunctional garbage disposal, we have been living without a working dishwasher for almost one year. After placing a call yesterday (on a Sunday), in less than 24 hours, we now have new plumbing under our sink, and the dishwasher is running smoothly! From the first phone call to the confirmation call this morning, communication was impeccable. Devon showed up on time, assessed the problem, provided a quote, and resolved our problem- a true professional.
We were referred to Jose's business by my parents. They are 80 years old, and for over three years, they've suffered from an ongoing MAJOR plumbing problem that had left other plumbers perplexed. I will never forget that day this past winter when my mom called to report that Jose's company had been able to resolve their long-time mystery. Today, we got to meet the magician who helped my mom and dad. Devon, thank you for using your wisdom, intuition, skills, and talents to make my parents' and our lives run more smoothly. Our highest praise goes to Devon and to "All About Rooter"!"

★★★★★ - "I would like to thank Devan for the great job he did putting in a second filter and rerouting the piping in the good house and the two outdoor faucets he replaced. He was very professional and his work is very clean and perfect. He ran into problems but worked through the problems and my husband and I are very happy with the job Devan did. We will recommend All About Rooter to anyone.
Thank you so much."

My kitchen sink looks fantastic my garbage disposal is working great and my bathtub no longer has a leak! I couldn't ask for better service."
Gloria in Lakewood, WA2020-04-29
★★★★★ - "ll About Rooter really saved the day yesterday. I just moved out on my own and had my shower handle break with the water going. I had to turn the water off to my whole house yesterday morning. I had reached out to another company and they had told me they would be here between 5 and 7 pm. That company then called me at 5:30 pm saying they could have someone out 8 am-10 am the next morning. I have to leave my house at 8 am for work! I was completely beside myself. I came across All About Rooter and he told me he already had someone down in the area (98387) and that there wouldn't be an after-hours fee. I was beyond relieved. Devan showed up at 8 and after taking a look at the shower, all I needed was a new handle. He left to go get one at McLendon's for me and came back to put it on and make sure my shower was good to go. I'm so thankful that it was a small fix and that Devan was willing to work so late last night. All together it took about an hour. Thank you for being my knight in armor! I'm not sure what plumber's normally cost - I won't lie it did seem a little steep - but it's something I wasn't going to be able to fix on my own since I wasn't even sure what it was since the handle was still attached. Anyways, I'm very appreciative and now I have a go-to plumber!"

Naomi W., Plumbing in Spanaway, WA2019-07-25
★★★★★ - "Devan and Bj just came to our house and saved the day!! We had a clogged kitchen sink, they found the problem which was due to the builder of the home not placing the piping to drain out properly. They cut the pipe and relocated it and BAM our kitchen sink is now draining properly and we no longer have nasty food spitting back up at us!! They were extremely friendly, professional and cleaned everything up after they were done. I HIGHLY recommended them!!"

mr bennett in Tacoma, WA2019-02-19
★★★★★ - "One word: DEVAN. I cannot say enough about DEVAN! He came to our emergency situation (alone) at 2:00 pm and worked his butt off! He jackhammered the concrete, dug down 4ft. cut and replaced our clogged pipe, working steadily till 9:00 pm. He came back this morning to "patch" the concrete. I CANNOT EVEN TELL IT'S A PATCH!! He troweled and smoothed the patch and even BRUSHED it to match the rest of the concrete! Then he offered to carry the broken concrete chunks (many) about 40ft. to our utility trailer! He cleaned everything up making sure the area looked as if he had never been here. For being young and alone, his work ethic is amazing! This company is lucky to have him and he is definitely an asset to All About Rooter!"
Richar Miller in Bonney Lake, WA2018-11-21
★★★★★ - "Prompt, efficient service. Mr. Martinez came to correct my plumbing problem well within the time frame he gave me during our first phone call. He was very courteous and pleasant to work with. He solved my plumbing issue quickly and I didn't feel the price was unreasonable considering it was a bit of an emergency."
Janice G. in Tumwater, WA2018-10-22
★★★★★ - "I called on Monday and they came on Tuesday to install an expansion tank and pressure control. I had bought the parts but needed someone to put them on for me. Devan was quick to respond and did an awesome job. Very clean. If I ever need a plumber again, I will be calling Rooter again."

Laura D in Federal Way, WA2018-07-05
★★★★★ - "These folks came within a half hour of my request. They were fast and efficient. They were very clean and courteous. They put everything back so it is hard to tell that they were here. The sidewalk repair that they had to do was top notch. Our sewer and water line are working better than ever. When our toilet did not work after they were done, the young man that came into fix it put on booties so he did not track dirt into the house. They were a team of polite professionals that did an excellent job."
Rachel Lovejoy in Tacoma, WA2018-07-02
★★★★★ - "My main septic pipe was clogged causing a backup. I called All About Rooter and they showed within an hour. The serviceman, Salvador, was so cordial and professional from start to finish. After he diagnosed the problem he explained everything that he has to do and proceeded to fix the problem. Afterward, he gave me some preventative maintenance advice. Unfortunately, I had another unrelated issue and my septic alarm starting buzzing. I called again and the owner (Jose) personally came out early the next day and corrected the problem with the float. As with Salvador, Jose was a pleasure to talk with and very professional. I will be contacting this company for all my future plumbing needs. Thank you for the exceptional service!"
Jose Fegurgur in Graham, WA2018-06-25
★★★★★ - "I highly recommend All About Rooter. They are friendly, professional and very competent. They repiped my house and did a great job at a very fair price. I felt very comfortable letting them work in my house while I was at work. They made sure my dog didn't get out. They recommended some repairs to save me money down the road. I trust their judgment. They are definitely who I will call for any plumbing work I need to be done in the future. Thank you All About Rooter!"
Susan B. in Tacoma, WA2018-06-11
★★★★★ - "Thank you so much. You showed up on time, answered all of my questions. Fixed the burst pipe in the wall, inspected the septic and marked where it was located. Thank you so much for such great service."
Anonymous in Lake Tapps, WA2018-04-26
★★★★★ - "I'm very impressed with how these guys fixed my drain pipe. They came out the evening I called, called as he was heading to the house, nice professional looking van, figured out what needed to be done, gave me an estimate, then went to work to temporarily fix what needed to be done. Got the rotor rooter job done, checked his work with a scope & put everything back the way it was. Gave me a written estimate of what needed to be done to remedy the problem. This was done in the late evening. Very courteous man, knowledgeable about his job. They came out later and did a permanent repair and left everything the way it was when they arrived. They did a great job. I would definitely hire them again."
Bruce in Milton, WA2018-04-23
★★★★★ - "I had a very old gas water heater that was in a difficult location that needed replacing. Jose and Devan figured it out and installed a new 40 gallon water heater in 3 hours. I would recommend them to anyone."

★★★★★ - "You will not be sorry if you give your business to All About Rooter! My husband and son were trying to put a dishwasher in our 100 year old home and suddenly there was water all over the floor and we were panicking. We called one business and the answering machine said to "leave a number." Then we got lucky and called All About Rooter. They showed up within an hour and took care of the water problem and installing the dishwasher. They noticed some of our horrible water pipes that had been thrown together over the years, and some rusty pipes that were in danger of breaking. Long story short - they efficiently took care of the repairs we needed to have done, and were very kind and pleasant and took away our old broken dishwasher and all of the work debris. Their charges were very reasonable! I can't express how pleased I am. They will get all of our plumbing business from now on, and I will tell my friends about what a great job they did!"
Linda Clayson in Spanaway, WA2018-01-16
★★★★★ - "I just had Jose repair my Mom and Dads sewer blockage and he was very prompt in addressing the blockage and fixed the problem quickly. He charged only a fraction of what the other plumbers were asking. Also, he and his company are great people. I would highly recommend him and his company."
Doran in Milton, WA2018-01-11
★★★★★ - "We purchased an older home that did not have a proper hookup for a water line to the refrigerator. Jose and his assistant did a wonderful job upgrading the existing water hookup. They cleaned up after themselves and as an added bonus Jose tightened a loose toilet seat for us. We will definitely call them if we need plumbing service in the future."
Katherine Edwards2017-12-18
★★★★★ - "We had a very positive experience with All About Rooter. Our tub faucet developed a major leak & we were able to schedule an appointment in a very reasonable time. Jose was very knowledgable. He quickly figured out the problem & fixed it. The cost was very honest & reasonable. If we need a plumber in the future we will call All About Rooter again. Highly recommended."
JMH in Spanaway, WA
★★★★★ - "Jose came out at 7pm after already working a full day and stayed until midnight to fix our clogged septic line. He did everything he could but finally had to dig 3 feet down and 3 feet across in hard-pan to cut and clean out a section of pipe that had been improperly repaired in the past. My family thanks him and we highly recommend his work to anyone. He has skill and integrity."
Scott Newbern in Eatonville, WA
★★★★★ - "Our experience with All About Rooter and Jose could not have been better. Jose came out to our house within 24 hours of me giving him a call. He immediately went to work. Found my issue to the full stoppage of sewer in my house, foresight was a 5 foot long root in my pipes. Jose gave me a reasonable quote and stuck as close to it as he could knowing money is tight. He had the whole job down in a day basically. The longest part was waiting for the city to approve everything since he had to replace about 5 foot of PVC pipe 7 feet beneath my drive way. After everything was said and done, my drive was patched and I could use water in the house we purchased. Fun fact, I called Jose on a Sunday panicking about a water leak and he was ready to come Monday morning. Luckily we got it figured out before then. Jose and All About Rooter will not let you down."
KEVIN ONEILL in Spanaway, WA
★★★★★ - "Jose'
Was very professional. He figured out what the issue was and got right to work. He was courteous and fixed the problem. It was also a holiday weekend and we were very grateful that he came right out to fix our plumbing issues."
Leann in Federal Way, WA
★★★★★ - "Hard worker who knows what to do. Very professional and efficient! He explained the problems and fixed up right away He fixed our outside leaked faucet!! Highly recommended!! Jose, Thank you so much for the great work you did for me!"
Gina in Spanaway, WA
★★★★★ - "Jose came over and fixed the leak under my kitchen sink. He was in and out in less than an hour.
Very honest and was able to come out the same day!
Geoff in Federal Way, WA
★★★★★ - "Called for same-day service for a broken shower/bath faucet. After a busy day Jose came at 5:00 pm and fixed our faucet in a timely and professional manner."
Anonymous in Spanaway, WA
★★★★★ - "10-28-16 Showers and toilets backed up. Jose said he would come out and called saying he would be there in 20 minutes. He was. Jose knew from experience where the plug would be, and where he had to dig for the outflow pipe (there was no riser). He found it where he said, dug, ran a power hose up the pipe and brought out some small roots, enough to stop paper. Jose then put a camera up the pipe and showed me all clear. He gave me a fair price and very proud of his ownership of the business. All equipment was clean and he wore a uniform of matching shirt, pants and hat with this business logo and name. Jose is now our go to person for drain issues, and recommended risers for easier cleaning."
Dave Manger in Graham, WA
★★★★★ - "Quick response to our call---same afternoon. Very efficient. Identified the problem, discussed options and costs, and proceeded with the more conservative fix (consistent with our choice), explaining that if the same problem occurred again, then we should ask to have a new cartridge put in. When adjusting for water pressure, he opened the walk-in shower and adjusted the shower head toward the back wall so that the burst of pressure would not cause the spray to come onto the floor!! Jose was the epitome of professionalism and the charges were very reasonable. Have recommended him to others already."
Margo H. in Tacoma, WA
★★★★★ - "Very impressed with the service today. The plumber was very easy to work with and super quick! He covered his shoes and was very polite. And the price was much better than the last bathroom I had done with the same repair. I will be keeping this card handy for the future for sure!"
Rick Slaughter in Orting, WA
★★★★★ - "Found company online, and after reading others reviews, knew I had made the right choice. Jose was courteous, and very helpful in offering advice to prevent future sewer backups. Will definitely call again. THANKS!"
Hiram Kamalu in University Place, WA
★★★★★ - "Had plumbing emergency. Another plumber said he could not fix it and we needed new pipes.$12000. Jose said let him try to clear it. He was so honest that he said no charge if I can not and $99 if I can. He did it and in less than 1 hour while the other plumber took 4. He camered the line and showed where problems were and how to fix them. He did and for future work his prices were so reasonable. He is honest, reliable and explains everything."
P. Greengus2016-05-10
★★★★★ - "Jose called me within minutes of my requesting service through home advisor and said he could come the next morning. He was prompt, courteous, and professional, a joy to work with. When he arrived he gave me an estimate based on his initial assessment of the problem. The price was extremely reasonable compared to MANY other plumbers I have worked with in the past. The clog was so compacted from too much food forced down the garbage disposal that eventually Jose had to go under the house and cut and replace a 7ft pipe. He thoroughly explained the extent of the problem and when he was finished replacing the pipe, he used a special camera that showed us how the water now flowed properly. I will hire him again for any future plumbing issues. I highly recommend him for any plumbing services you may have."
Lenore G., Drain Cleaning in Olympia, WA2015-08-26
★★★★★ - "Jose called me promptly early the next morning after placing my call to him after 11pm. He was there the next morning. I reccomended to him stopping and getting some sand, and he did. He was truly a pleasure to work with, and will hire him again to do other projects. If you live South of Eatonville, Jose' was prompt and reliable. THANK YOU JOSE'!!!"

WOW I had a completely wrong idea of what chicken piccata is! im making this tomorrow!
mine had a creamy dark mushroom sauce. don't know if there are different versions of it. doesn't seem so...

Thanks Chef John, this looks great and very adaptable to whatever is in the pantry besides lemon, butter and capers. It's much like the lemon-caper-butter-sauce you made with Sole Dore a few years back which is a favourite.
- April 18, 2011 at 2:36 AM

It's cold and it's Monday in Athens, the perfect opportunity for a prickly festive quick dinner such as this. keep up the good work Chef John!
- April 18, 2011 at 4:01 AM
Sorry, Chef John. But you cook them for 45 Minutes(!) per side? Isn't that a little long for thin chicken breasts?
- April 18, 2011 at 6:24 AM
Chef John I really love your site and thanks for so much inspiration. I am a Dad who gets to set foot in the kitchen and cook on Saturday evenings...I blow the family away with your creations... Anyway my question is...Why put the chicken back in the sauce to heat through? Is it ok to reserve the cooked chicken in a warm oven and then plate it and pour the sauce right on top?
Thanks and best regards
- April 18, 2011 at 7:05 AM
- Chef John said...
andre, that would be 4 to 5 min per side (if you were serious)
- April 18, 2011 at 8:55 AM
Dear Chef John,
each and every one of your food videos is an epic foodgasm.This site is unbelievable...and also the cause of major drooling over my keyboard.
On a side note,I recently got myself some muffin tin trays and can't wait to use them.Would you consider making a muffin video perhaps sometime in the future?Pretty please?:)

- April 18, 2011 at 12:52 PM
Oh! Sorry for that. I did understand "forty-five minutes" and not "for to five minutes". No purpose! Thanx very much for your answer.
- April 18, 2011 at 1:18 PM
- Chef John said...
Sure! Rice, pasta, etc
- April 18, 2011 at 1:20 PM
can we brine the chicken breast before making this recipe? will it boil?
- April 18, 2011 at 1:21 PM

You could, but don't bother.

Hey Chef,
So many of your recipes call for white wine but I don't drink white wine and I have no idea how long wine keeps in the fridge. Also wine's kinda expensive and I cant see buying a bottle when I'm only gonna use a half cup.
Can I substitute something else or what? If not what kind of wine do I buy?
- April 18, 2011 at 11:09 PM
Regards first Anon's post: I suspect youre thinking about Chicken Marsala, a different chicken dish that Chef John has also wonderfully demonstrated on this website. Dont feel bad, I confuse the names of dishes all the time too.
- April 18, 2011 at 11:13 PM
- Chef John said...
Just get any cheap $8 bottle of white wine. Any supermarket special will do! You can even buy little mini bottles! There is no real sub.
- April 18, 2011 at 11:23 PM
I made this for dinner tonight and it was delicious. Thank you so much Chef John!
- April 19, 2011 at 2:07 AM
I dunno Chef John...I thought the asparagus souffle with the roasted red peppers actually looked pretty good!
- April 20, 2011 at 12:11 PM
You can freeze leftover wine in suitable portions...very handy for non wine drinkers.
- April 20, 2011 at 12:16 PM
I just recently stumbled upon you blog, and I just made the Chicken Piccata. Eating it as I write, so to speak.
It is just amazing, I really love it. An explosion of flavours indeed.
I bookmarked a whole lot more of your recipes, and I will be working through them pretty rapidly, I guess.
Thank you for the work you put into this, just amazing. :)
Greetings from Germany,
- April 21, 2011 at 4:25 PM
Made this last night. Came out pretty good although the sauce was a bit thin. I had doubled everything as i was using 4 breasts and I think that maybe 1/2 cup of water may have been just too much.
Thanks Chef!
- April 23, 2011 at 12:35 PM
- Healthy and Homemade said...
YES! Thank you for this recipe, I have everything except the chicken which makes it very likely that I will be making this for dinner tonight =) I'm happy to have a use for my jar of capers.
- April 23, 2011 at 1:02 PM
Cbef John...is there a more intense chicken flavor if you use the stock instead of the water?
- April 24, 2011 at 12:19 AM
Hi Chef John,
This chicken piccata look so good and delicious. I definately will try this since this recipe was easy to made/cook and on hand I have a bottle of capers.
Thank you Chef for this video. Have a good weekend!
Best wishes,
Susan Chin
- May 6, 2011 at 2:39 AM
You did it again! Thanks John for adding a ton of flavor to my life. I have made this about 6 times in the last 2 weeks.. I'm trying to perfect the sauce. It's a Hit!
- May 30, 2011 at 1:41 AM
Dear Chef John,
Just made chicken Piccata for dinner and it's yummolicious!! MY whole family loves it even the kids like it too! Although they had no idea what capers are, they were willing to give it a try. I absolutely love it myself. I will for sure make it every 10 days! Thanks so much!!

Hey Chef John!
I stumbled on your blog and I my first attempt at your chicken mushroom dish was a complete success! Man, was it ever tasty. Kudos, and thank you for sharing it!
Now, I'm looking at making this dish, but I'm actually on a Paleo diet; that means NO GLUTEN and therefore no wheat flour.
I'll probably test this out with both coconut and almond flours, but I was wondering if you had any insight into how they may alter the flavour profile. Will this be too noticeable a change for the recipe?
Finally, I browsed your blog, but I couldn't find any recipes for a beef jerky marinade. Is this something you may look to cover in the future?
Anyway, thanks again for the lovely recipes!
- July 24, 2011 at 8:24 PM
- Chef John said...
Sorry, Ive never use those flours, and I'm afraid my GF knowledge is pretty thin.
You may see a beef jerky marinade sometime in the future, thanks!
- July 24, 2011 at 9:56 PM
We made Chicken Piccata with Thomas Kellers cured lemons, and it was very good. It had a slightly more complex flavor. We also cooked the rice with cured lemons.
- August 27, 2011 at 2:18 PM
- Chef John said...
Nicely done!
- August 27, 2011 at 2:28 PM
I typically add fresh minced garlic with the capers, sometimes will add shallot too.
- August 29, 2011 at 2:59 PM
Dear Chef John,
hello and how are you,
if possible Chef, would you prefer to receive such emails direct to firstname.lastname@example.com or would you prefer i contact you this way.
the reason i wanted to send an email was to ask you if you ever had a chance to make the chicken kiev, this is a little old to ask for now but it is a favorite for many and i would kindly request if you would cosider making a video.
i hope you have the time and look forward to the recipy soon.
i think you're the best and wish you all the success that you truly deserve

Holy moley I measured out 1/4 cup of lime juice (no lemons at home) and boy oh boy the sauce came out so freakin' sour! Chef john, is it supposed to be like that?? I've never made chicken piccata at home before but I've had it many times in restaurants and it's never been this tart. If my sauce is too tart, what can I add to fix it and make it less tart? I tried adding some water, some milk, and even a little sugar and (to say the least) it was a hot mess. :/ Help!
- September 18, 2011 at 10:32 PM
- Chef John said...
It's a very tart sauce, but the line are more tart and not the best for this recipe. Not much u can do now. Sorry!

Chef John,
This recipe is for 2 chicken breasts, and I was cooking 6. Was it right for me to triple all the ingredients, including the lemon juice and capers? I feel as though it turned out to be extremely sour.
- November 3, 2011 at 11:56 AM
- Chef John said...
theoretically yes! but ALL cooking is to taste, so you need to adjust for you.
- November 3, 2011 at 12:15 PM

- November 8, 2011 at 4:16 PM
This was very good...however could you put the written instructions for prep and not just the video. It froze up and I was on my own...so my chicken was a bit more over cooked while I was trying to get the video to work. Thank goodness I was a more experienced cook and could wing it. But an inexperienced cook could have been totally lost without written step by step instructions. Thanks.
- November 16, 2011 at 8:49 PM
This looks like it would taste amazing, and it seems like a good recipe for someone who's watching what they eat too. Just to make sure, is there any way I could get the nutrition facts?
- November 18, 2011 at 5:06 PM
- Chef John said...
Sorry, but I don't calculate that info.
- November 18, 2011 at 5:10 PM

Hey Chef John – Happy New Year! I made the Chicken Piccata for the second time last night and it turned out as fabulous as the first time I made it. The only thing I did different was to add some garlic and onion powders, Adobo and a bit of cumin with the salt and pepper in the flour. After dredging the chicken in the flour mixture, I let it sit for about 30 mins. before frying. I absolutely LOVE the flavor the capers gives it, and the lemony flavor from the fresh lemons is out of this world. I did, however, add 3/4 cups of wine, together with 3 tlbsps. of capers, which kicked it into full swing, and 4 tlbsps. of butter, so you can imagine how rich and creamy it turned out. I made approximately 5breasts, so the measurements were perfect. Thanks so much for inspiring me with all your wonderful recipes. It's my go to cooking website!!

I got a big bottle of white wine for christmas and I'm not a huge wine drinker (I unfortunately have a pabst blue ribbon pallet) and I needed a recipe to actually use the wine and Chicken Piccata saved the day.
Ps. Good luck to your Giants.

I'm a terrible person! I made a substitution. I used sake instead of white wine, because that's all I had. It was awesome. Thanks!

This is the second recipe that I've tried from your site. (The first was the roasted chicken for Julia Child.) Both recipes were absolutely delicious! My husband is not a big eater, but he loved both dinners so far (and he had seconds of the roasted chicken.) Thanks for such a great website!
A suggestion: when you're doing your videos, could you mention the quantities that you are using? I keep the video playing as I cook, and it would be great if I didn't have to touch my computer with my messy fingers to check the quantities. Just a suggestion. Thanks. ~Mo

Hello Chef John,
Your videos have inspired me to try my hand at new dishes that I never would have had the confidence to make. I made the chicken picatta for my 13-year old daughter this weekend and she hasn't stopped raving to her friends about it since. She thought it was better than going to a fancy intalian restaurant!! What an easy and delicious recipe. I would love to know, though, the ingredients for 6 or 8 cutlets. I want to make this for my whole family later this week, but I don't know the quantities or if i should be cooking in a few pans at once. Thanks Chef John!!
- February 13, 2012 at 9:08 AM

This is THE BEST chicken breast recipe I have ever made, and I have been cooking for 30 years. Served if the first time with cous cous, had 7 people over for dinner. None of them had ever heard of capers! It was amazing. It was a bit spicy so I quickly made a dip using plain Greek yogurt with lemon juice for those who needed a "coolant." The leftovers (I cooked 3 lbs of chicken! ) were even tastier. Well done!

Thanks so much for being such a inspiration!

Hi Chef John, thanks for this video, really appreciated it. You narrate very well and the touches of humour are great. Easy to follow along and fun to watch. Thank you!

Hi Chef John , made this tonight. Everyone loved it! Thanks so much for the recipe!!
- May 28, 2012 at 12:03 AM
Chef John,
You have made my family very happy tonight. The piccata was just incredible. I've made this recipe two nights in a row. The first time was for my wife. It was soooo good, I was wanting more and made a midnight snack, but the real test was my 15 year old daughter, she doesn't even like chicken and it was her favorite meal ever! Thanks John. I'm your number 1 fan! You have made eating a treat!
- August 14, 2012 at 5:58 AM
Made this 5 days ago and have been dreaming about it ever since, will be making it again tonite. I love the way you cut to the chase with all your recipes. Well done thankyou!
- August 20, 2012 at 7:18 AM
I made this a while ago as a "Try anything Wednesday". My wife does not like lemons, capers, butter or wine but I gave it a shot anyway and SHE loved it. We have had it alot since and it has become her favourite dish, I serve it with your "Broken Spagetti" recipe and it seems to be the perfect combination. BTW, I am always telling my wife and others, that a combination of igredients is always different than those ingredients alone
- October 11, 2012 at 12:02 PM
I made this tonight for my wife -- it was a huge hit -- thanks Chef John!
I only had a half-lemon (about 1/8 cup) for a full recipe and didn't want to open a batch of chicken stock to supplement, so I used water with a half teaspoon of dijon for flavor. Turned great. I served mine with just some angel hair pasta with a bit of the piccata sauce stirred in, and brussle sprouts.
Thanks again!

Chef John - You had 1/4 cup chicken stock in the list of ingredients but in the video you didn't say when to add it. Did I miss something?

Hey John,
just to say i did this for Sunday lunch with pork tenderloin today! chicken breasts looked hideous yesterday at grocery and only other thing was the tenderloin. I scanned these comments to see if anyone had done this sauce with other white meats and didn't see anything... so just to report it was VANTASTISCH!!!! Cut the loin at an angle for better pounding length... trying to simulate the chicken breast surface area idea... and seasoned exactly as you described, made the sauce with this amazingly cheap chard-pinot blanc i can get here for like 5 dollars (price in this country way better than USA for wine) and the wife and kids went nuts for it! the pork was succulent and even though it was "over-done" for tenderloin, was truly amazing! Served with warm salad of sautee'd broad beans and shallots and wilted cherry tomato... just a bit of left-over basmati rice for the carb.
I could totally see this sauce technique done now for pork-chops....
cheers from Austria,
PS> Sorry if i'm an idiot and someone (or you) posted can/should do this with any white meat.

Hello Chef John. I'm very new to cooking, and I almost always make something from your blog (thanks for the videos). I would really like to try out this recipe. However, I've never cooked with wine before (and I know nothing about wine)...are they different for cooking? What do I look for? Thanks :)

same as drinking wine! If you can drink it, you can use it.

I love each of your grilled chicken recipes that I've tried, but was craving your chicken piccata so I decided to make this over the weekend for my wife and kids and me. While it wasn't the first time I've made this recipe, it did remind me of how great of a recipe this really is, and how much I've learned watching your videos.
Thanks Chef John!

Who ate the broken chicken breast? Michele or John?
Hope CJ has a nice vacation, please let him know I watch his video's nearly daily, I have the naration on this one memorized and that, especially after a difficult day, his voice and video's makes the world seem like a better place.

Hi Chef John,
I prepared this last weekend and it was fantastic. The chicken is some of the best I've ever eaten. However, I had trouble getting my sauce to thicken - it was a bit watery, and I was sure to allow the wine to reduce by half (i also left the final sauce on heat for a bit to thicken...it didn't really). What would you advise? How can I get it to not be so watery? Also, would adding a splash of heavy cream be a bad idea?

I'll be serving this soon. My husband is not a veggie person so I'll be serving this with bacon & red onion wrapped new potatoes. for me, spaghetti squash tossed with sauteed carrots, sugar snap peas and zucchini. I'll use rice flour for dredging. Cannot wait for this!

Here I am, March 25,2015. I finally made this meal. While it looked delicious the taste was even better. I love capers. My husband liked this so much he is taking left overs for his lunch. I will be making this again.
Thanks for a great recipe.

I make this quite often but it has been a while. I asked my grandson if there was anything special he wanted for Thanksgiving dinner and his eyes lit up.....yes, the sour noodles with peas! I had no idea what he was talking about until later he told me it also had chicken in it. Chicken piccata served over angel hair! So I am making it for him tonight. Thanks for such an awesome recipe....one of my family's favorite!!

Since finding your recipe and making it often enough to memorize it over the years, I've taught the kids to make it (now ages 11, 13, and 16), tried new things, made it better, and even ruined it a few times! The problem we have now is that no restaurant can make it as good as we do! It is a staple in our recipe schedule and often comes out to impress guests. We serve it with angel hair pasta (doubling the sauce and lightly coating the pasta), risotto, asparagus, or roasted sweet potatoes. We are not chefs! But sometimes we like to pretend we are so we get this one out! Thanks!

CBD Softgel Pills
Cannabidiol, also known by CBD, is something that is rapidly changing the debate that is constantly swirling around the use of marijuana as a kind of medicine. While a lot of people have already heard about the chemical known as THC, which is the ingredient found in marijuana that can get users high, the attention has recently shifted onto another compound that is found in marijuana by the name of CBD.
While there are a number of doctors that are not able to look past some of the side effects of THC, CBD does not appear to present with any such problem. By the same token, the evidence of all of the incredible medical benefits of CBD keeps on growing. These are five facts that you may want to know about this compound before you invest in CBD softgel pills:
1. This is a key ingredient found in cannabis - CBD happens to be one of well over 60 different compounds that are found in cannabis that are part of a class of molecules know as cannabinoids. Out of these compounds, both CBD and THC are known for being present in the absolute highest concentration. Therefore, they are the most recognized as well as the most studied.
The levels of CBD and THC will usually vary depending on the plant. Marijuana that is grown for recreational purposes will usually have more THC in it than CBD. However, when you are able to use selective breeding techniques, there have been certain varieties created with a higher level of CBD when compared to near-zero levels of THC. Such strains have become a lot more popular over the last few years.
2. CBD is also non-psychoactive - Unlike the well-known THC, CBD is not going to cause any sort of high. This may make CBD a poor choice for any recreational user, but it gives the chemical a major advantage when used as a medicine, as health professionals often prefer treatments that will come with minimal side effects.
3. CBD offers a wide range of medicinal benefits - While CBD and THC actually act on different pathways in the body, they seem to have a number of the same medicinal benefits. CBD has been known to help with the following:
Suppresses the activity of seizures
Combats certain psychosis disorders
Cuts back on vomiting and nausea
Fights inflammatory disorders
Battles neurodegenerative disorders
Fights agains cancerous cells
helps with depression and anxiety disorders
4. CBD helps to reduce the negative impact of THC - This is a compound that offers natural protection from the high that marijuana gives. There are a number of studies that have shown that CBD actually reduces the kind of intoxicating effects that THC can have, including both paranoia and memory impairment. As a matter of fact, CBD can also counteract the effect that THC has that causes drowsiness, which is why some of the strains of cannabis are known to help boost alertness.
What You Should Know About CBD Softgel Pills
When you have cannabis oil pills, or CBD pills, you are able to get all of the benefits that come from typical marijuana use while still being able to remain free from the side effects that come from smoking it. This is an option that is great for those who may be suffering from respiratory issues or patients that are looking to protect their health. The pills are a lot safer and looked at as being a great way to get a dose of CBD.
CBD pills are a way that you can get the medicinal benefits of marijuana without the confusion, the high, or the lasting impact of THC in your system. If you are looking to have less stress, relief from nausea (which is wonderful for a patient that is going through chemotherapy treatments), notable pain relief, a reduction in inflammation and a great treatment for anxiety, you may want to look into all that CBD softgel pills have to offer.
While there are some people who prefer to get the ingredients to make their own CBD oil pills, the softgels are a nice way to get the product already made so that you can simply take it an enjoy all of the benefits. If you are working through any sort of chronic pain or you have other issues that your doctor has discussed with you as being treatable with cannabis, you will see that the softgel pills are a great options. It is simply a matter of finding the right distributor to give you a quality product that you can count on to offer you the right results.
Quality will always be crucial and the better the CBD oil softgel pills are that you find, the more results you are going to see with all of your treatment endeavors.

Using CBD Pills To Treat Anxiety
A wide variety of components derived from cannabis have become legalized in many of the states here in America over the past few years. For many long years there has been a very strong stance against any level of the use of marijuana in the US which it is still a shock to many people how increasingly receptive the country is becoming too the different forms of marijuana use. recreational and medicinal acceptancehas become a trend that is taking hold like a run away train traveling across the country and creating revenues at an astounding rate as more and more patients register.
These social and political changes have opened the door to the highly sought after CBD Pills that contain huge medicinal benefits. Among the many wonderful CBD qualities for treating various ailments, anxiety is one of the conditions that can be treated through the use of these pills. It is a very interesting fact that there are a large number of patients that have sought their cards for medical marijuana use specifically for the purpose of treating their anxiety issues.
Many patients lives have been made so much better on a daily basis by having medical marijuana available on a daily basis. It is also an interesting thing to know that many people taking CBD pills are unaware that their anxiety is being treated in the process. There are people who use the wonderful product because it delivers feelings of relaxation and calmness, all without asking any questions or receiving a diagnosis from professional medical specialists.
Being free of the headaches and harassment from authorities has provided great relief by making it possible for people who suffer with anxiety and other medical conditions to take advantage of the help that they really need. Often, drinking alcohol was used as a remedy for feeling better but many times lead to a drunken state instead of relieving the actual ailments that someone would be experiencing. CBD pills do not have such a devastating consequences as drinking too much alcohol while trying to relieve disorders, especially the treatment of anxiety.
There are important differences that must be understood when comparing these pills with using a bong or joint to smoke the substance. The component in question is isolated for specific medical purposes and separately sold to meet those purposes. CBD is in no way the same as THC which is the active substance in cannabis that people are able to get high on. When the primary goal is treating anxiety, the risks of being high are eliminated through this wonderful alternative and to make it possible for a person to take care of the things that are important in their daily lives.
There is a large amount of documentation stating the many benefits CBD pills have for anxiety sufferers. A number of these patients suffer from other disorders such as PTSD at the same time that they are struggling with being anxious. The physical and mental feeling of being disoriented or "tweaking"is no issue with the use of pills or oils containing CBD because life goes on as normal in both professional and social settings.
Positive reports have poured in from patients that prefer using CBD as an alternative non pharmaceutical treatment for their anxiety condition. States that now allow medical use of legalized weed have done their studies regarding the use of this substance. The most advanced area of the country concerning this research is California because that state has had a great deal of more experience than the rest of the country.
Legalization has had a tremendous effect on the development of specific products geared toward many targeting different symptoms more directly and in a shorter amount of time. The mental and emotional benefits for people speaks volumes toward the ongoing acceptance across the countryfor curing post traumatic stress disorder, nauseous and anorexic conditions, and even agoraphobia.
CBD products are definitely the best choice for anyone seeking relief from any of the conditions mentioned without having to deal with the side effects of alcohol and other risks associated with dangerous pharmaceuticals and the drugs. Living a normal life without the misery of suffering from these ailments is very possible through the use of CBD oil or pills, including relief from anxiety. The benefits extend beyond just of the patient because others around them also recognize the difference.
If it is legal in your area, it would be a good idea to check into the use of CBD pills and what they can do for you and or the ones you love.

You could practically spend your entire Massachusetts vacation outdoors. In the spring, fishing, camping, hiking, biking, and cheering on the Red Sox at historic Fenway Park. In the summer, soaking up the sun on gorgeous beaches, white water rafting, whale watching, putt sinking, ice cream eating, and still cheering on the Sox. In the fall, leaf peeping at the brilliant foliage; losing your voice at a Patriots game at Gillette Stadium; petting goats, picking apples and sipping cider at any number of picture perfect small farms; and yep, still cheering on the Sox. Think there are no outdoor activities in the winter? Think again. There's skiing, riding and tubing at one of 12 fantastic ski areas; dog sledding; and ice fishing; all while heatedly discussing the spring prospects for the Sox, of course.

The Caldicott Principles were developed in 1997 following a review of how patient information was handled across the NHS.
The Review Panel was chaired by Dame Fiona Caldicott and it set out six Principles that organisations should follow to
ensure that information that can identify a patient is protected and only used when it is appropriate to do so. Since
then, when deciding whether they needed to use information that would identify an individual, an organisation should
use the Principles as a test. The Principles were extended to adult social care records in 2000. Read the Principles.

Heroism leads to Readers Digest honor
Lezlie Bicknell tried to save two trapped kids
A woman who helped saved two trapped kids inside a runaway van is getting some national recognition yet again.
In July, Action 7 News showed gas station surveillance footage of two kids trapped in a van that one of the kids shifted into gear. Lezlie Bicknell jumped out of a nearby pickup truck to try and help and accidentally knocked it into gear, which miraculously rolled in front of the van and prevented it from flowing into Edith Boulevard.
"I don't really put myself into that category [hero]," Bicknell recently told Action 7 News.
But Readers Digest, the national magazine, thought Bicknell's actions were heroic. She is featured in the December "Best of 2012" issue, which profiles heroes and miracles.
"I was shocked and honored," said Bicknell.
In a statement, the magazine said Bicknell was just the type of person they like to feature as a true hero.
Criminal charges were never brought against the children's father, who was inside the gas station store at the time of the incident.
Ultimately, Bernalillo County Sheriff's investigators said a malfunction with the van allowed one of the children to shift it into gear.

Tablets are the new darling of consumer technology. The burst of fanfare generated by the iPad's initial release never faded, nor have sales. According to IDC, 27.8 million tablets were sold worldwide in the third quarter of 2012. Though still short of the 87.5 million PCs sold during the same period, tablets have only been serious competitors for a few years. Their rate of growth is impressive and seem unlikely to slow.
Dramatic success has encouraged definitive proclamations from industry prophets. The PC is dead – long live the tablet! Recent sales figures seem to back up these arguments – but a challenger approaches. Hybrids, a category so small that its sales are not individually tracked, is the real heir to the PC's throne. Here's why.
Why do tablets sell?
Before we talk about why hybrids will rule, we must first understand why tablets have become so successful. Hybrids will be forever pushed to the margins if they can't match or exceed tablets in these areas:
Touch – Let's start with the obvious. Touch. There's a beautiful simplicity to the direct physical interaction that tablets offer. Content consumption is more intuitive and more intimate with a hand-held touchscreen device. Productivity is more difficult, but consumers aren't using a personal device for productivity most of the time. Tablets are also well designed for touch because they are thin, light, and small – traits that touchscreen PCs of all stripes have yet to match.
Portability – Portability is also important, though not for the reasons most guess. Consumers want portable devices for use at home, not for travel. Laptops proved more popular than desktops because they didn't tie the user to a desk and instead allowed use wherever a person could sit for a few hours at a time. Tablets take that a step further by offering days of use from anywhere before the battery must be charged.
Price – And let's not forget the price. Cheap stuff sells more than expensive stuff, and tablets are among the most affordable consumer electronics devices on the market today. Even the iPad costs no more than mid-range laptops, and some Android tablets can be had for $200 or less. Anyone looking for a PC in that price range will be forced to purchase a Chromebook.
Hybrids aren't great tablets, but they can be
All of the current hybrid and convertible laptops on the market fail in the important areas mentioned above. They are bulkier than tablets, they fall short in endurance, and they are much, much more expensive. Models with the ho-hum Atom processor sell for between $499 and $750, and most products with Core processors are sold for $1,000 or more.
With these problems holding them back, hybrids will never overcome tablets. Fortunately, they're all solvable. As the processors available become more efficient and more powerful, hybrids will inevitably become just as thin and light as tablets. Intel's hybrid reference unit shown at CES 2013 was as thin as some stand-alone tablets – and it was running a Core processor. Devices built on the upcoming Atom quad-cores will be even thinner.
These same improvements will also close the gap in battery life. Large hybrids with 11.6-inch to 13.3-inch screens will probably overtake 7-inch to 10-inch tablets because they have more internal space to dedicate to a battery. A similar distinction already exists in both the tablet and smartphone markets. Big screens are usually compensated for by much larger batteries.
And then there's price. While certain high-end hybrids will no doubt remain expensive, low-end models will surely become more affordable as the technology they rely on becomes less expensive. Solid state memory, touchscreens and processors are areas where hybrids could see substantial savings in the future. A capable $500 hybrid is not a dream. It's inevitable.
Once hybrids are as capable and affordable as tablets consumers will no doubt begin to wonder why they'd want a tablet instead. The main distinction between them will be the docking capability a tablet lacks – in all other respects, they will become identical. Consumers (particularly those on a budget, which is most) will realize that a hybrid offers more value.
A pair of wild cards
While hybrids seem likely to take consumer electronics by storm at some point in the future, there two more notable problems that will need to be fixed. These problems could delay hybrids because, unlike hardware, the companies that could conjure solutions sometimes have a problem with execution.
No operating system is currently capable of doing the hybrid justice. Windows 8 is a step forward, yet also deeply flawed. A few hybrids ship with Android instead, which is even worse. Consumers won't accept hybrids until an appropriate operating system is available.
Another obstacle may be the manufacturers themselves. Imagine that you're the CEO of a major electronics manufacturer and you've learned of a device that could replace two or three of your products but sells for half their combined price. Does that sound like good news? Of course not. Manufacturers may have their vision clouded by potential red ink, but designing the proper hybrids will require a committed effort, not a half-hearted attempt from companies petrified by profit margins.
Then again, the winds of fortune may blow in the hybrid's favor. Apple might replace its entire MacBook line with a new hybrid device, or Google could turn Chrome OS into a truly capable do-it-all operating system. Either would give these fledgling devices a boost.
One hybrid to rule them all
Hybrids are a step towards a vision of future computing that replaces the PC with a dockable device that connects to a wide variety of peripherals. Future consumers will forgo a wide range of partially redundant devices in favor of a master computer that can do almost everything.
Most enthusiasts dreaming of this future peg the smartphone as the heir to the PC's throne. This theory is interesting, yet unrealistic. How can a powerful processor and sufficient battery be crammed into such a small space? How can a user fully enjoy a device with such a small screen? There are no easy answers to these questions – which may be why Samsung's Galaxy Note II has become popular despite jokes about the junk in its trunk.
The future of computing will be a story of convergence, not divergence. Multiple devices will fuse into a single master computer. This will not be tablets or smartphones, which are incapable of replacing modern PCs – hybrids will rise to take on this new role. The tablet will remain, but it will be pushed into low-cost markets or sold as an add-on to a computing ecosystem built around the hybrid. Viva la hybrid!
