Justin Bieber's 'Boyfriend' Video: All Grown-Up



New clip, which debuted Thursday on MTV, sets Bieber up to launch the next phase of his career.
By James Montgomery

<P>If you are reading this, then you are probably aware that <a href="http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/bieber_justin/artist.jhtml">Justin Bieber</a> turned <a href="/news/articles/1680195/justin-bieber-18th-birthday-top-moment.jhtml">18 back in March</a>. I only mention it now because it helps explain JB's brand-new "Boyfriend" video, which premiered Thursday night (May 3) on MTV and is pretty much an 18-year-old male's fantasy in every conceivable way (or at least <i>most</i> of them).</P><P>Filled with cool clothes, <a href="/news/articles/1684418/justin-bieber-boyfriend-video-cars-girls.jhtml">hot cars and even hotter women</a>, "Boyfriend" &#8212; directed by the mysteriously named Director X (n&#233;e <a href="http://newsroom.mtv.com/2010/09/24/lil-x-director-x/">Lil X</a>) &#8212; is the stuff of every newly minted heterosexual adult's dreams ... only on overdrive. It's not enough to have a few cool cars; let's get 50! And some of them should be vintage! Why stop at <i>one</i> female love interest when we could get a baker's dozen? As if the icy, decidedly <i>sophisticated</i> strains of "Boyfriend" weren't enough to tip you off, with the video, Bieber very clearly serves notice: He's all grown-up.</P><P><center><object width="460" height="260" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" id="embeddedPlayer" data="http://videoplayer.vevo.com/embed/embedded" style="visibility: visible;"& gt;<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><param name="flashvars" value="playerType=embedded&videoId=USUV71200411&playlist=false&enableDomScan=true&siteSection=MTV_mtv.com&playerId=62FF0A5C-0D9E-4AC1-AF04-1D9E97EE3961&autoplay=0&endScreen=play&cc=US&cultureName=en-US&cultureIsRTL=False&sbId=14A00605-7DB5-4492-B67B-CB2093BD89DD"></object></center></P><P>And while that maturation was inevitable &#8212; Bieber's been saying for months now that his <a href="/news/articles/1666424/justin-bieber-new-album.jhtml"><i>Believe</i> album would push the boundaries</a> &#8212; it remains to be seen if his fanbase (which, speaking in the broadest of terms, is predominantly female, not to mention predominantly pre-teen) can handle his transformation. Not to mention that now, for the first time, he's not the <i>only</i> heartthrob on the block. Sure, the guys in <a href="/news/articles/1682685/one-direction-justin-bieber-collaboration-rumor.jhtml">One Direction may be his pals</a>, but they'd like nothing more than to eat his lunch. And those dudes in the Wanted? Well, let's just say we wouldn't take our eye off them, either.</P><P>In short, Bieber's career is now at a crossroads. He cannot stop the advance of age, nor does it seem like he really cares to &#8212; he's making the kind of music his 18-year-old self <i>wants</i> to make. His fans will either embrace this new chapter or they won't. Maybe he'll lose some of them to the nefarious clutches of 1D. But the Biebs is moving on regardless . One can't sing "Baby" forever now, can they?</P><P>Of course, watching the "Boyfriend" video, you can't help but think that Bieber couldn't care less about any of those things. It's a cool, confident clip, and, given where he's at right now, it's also an <i>important</i> one. He's itching to get on with the business of being an 18-year-old dude, like it or not. But you probably will &#8212; honestly, how can you deny the sheer <i>grown-up-edness</i> of the whole thing?</P><P><i>What did you think of the "Boyfriend" video? Share your reviews in the comments!</i></P><P><b>Stick with MTV News as we roll out more from our exclusive "MTV First" interview with Justin Bieber!</b></P><P></p><div class="player-placeholder right" title="MTV First: Justin Bieber" id="id:1684329& quot; width="415" height="255"></div><p></p>

Community Hospital Joins Wave Of New Strategic Venture Funds To Drive Disruptive Innovation



Rex Health VenturesThis first part of a two-part series on strategic investors in healthcare focuses on the expansion of the venture business beyond traditional venture and large strategic investors. In the second part, I will outline the backdrop for the investment thesis that strategic healthcare investors are using to guide their capital allocation. Healthcare providers are finding their "play it safe" culture isn't conducive to breakthrough innovation at a time when it is critically needed. Having spoken with several innovation groups in health systems, most examples of "innovation" are decidedly uninspiring. Primarily, it is due to the fact that virtually all of their decisions have to go thr ough the prism of how new ideas will fit with current businesses -- pretty much a guarantee that will doom so-called innovation to be little more than incremental improvements. Consequently, increasing numbers of hospitals and health systems are smartly allocating money to venture funds that have free reign to find truly disruptive new businesses.

New York Times sees higher circulation numbers, digital paywall smiles knowingly



New York Times sees higher circulation numbers, digital paywall smiles knowingly

Given how aggressively The New York Times pushes its digital packages -- we've long since dropped our subscription yet are still bombarded with offers -- you'd hope the paper was at least seeing some results. Well, never fear: it is. A report by the Audit Bureau of Circulations (ABC) found that the Times has seen a healthy increase in circulation, with the Sunday edition selling 2,003,247 copies (up 50 percent from last year) and the weekday editions racking in an average of 1,586,757 (up 73 pe rcent). The ABC attributes much of this gain to the NYT's addition of digital access to paper subscriptions, and we're sure the paywall, which limits non-subscribers to just ten free articles a month, has something to do with it, too.

Ivy Bridge-packing Inspiron 15R hiding in plain sight on Dell's Singapore site



It may not be as wavy as the alloyed 15R from a couple of years back, but this new "special edition" Inspiron is packing a few goodies that are far more interesting than a set of sinuous patterns. Thanks to a product page on Dell's Singapore website, we were able to spot one of the company's first Ivy Bridge machines, the Inspiron 15R. Per the listing, Dell's 15.6-inch laptop is sporting a hot-off-the-press Core i7-3612QM CPU, 6GB or 8GB o f RAM (depending on configuration), AMD Radeon HD 7730M graphics and a 1TB, 5400RPM hard drive. Additionally, you'll be able to choose between two different displays: an HD WLED, 1366 x 768 or a 1920 x 1080, FHD True-Life. As of right now, the better-specced of the two models is carrying a hefty S$1,749 price tag (around $1,410 in American dollars), while the lower-end 15R is S$1,599. Those living in Singapore can hit up the source link below if you'd like to grab a piece of that fresh Ivy Bridge pie.

[Thanks, Jason]

Look Out Pair, Cupple Is Out To Break Up This Cosy Private Sharing Party



cuppleWhile Pair are popping champagne corks at their funding round today, they better not swig too much bubbly because tomorrow they may have to check out their rear-view mirrors. Co-founder Oleg Kostour seems to think the company?s closest competitor in the 'private sharing' space is Path. He's basically wrong, but then he lives in the Valley echo chamber, so he's excused... Cupple is, frankly, at least as excellent a private sharing app for couples app which actually launched before Pair (and has an equally good name). Its had steady growth since November after being featured on the Apple in the Date Night section of the US store iTunes store (iTunes link).

Late-night poll: Dual-core or quad-core?



Android Central

With all the talk of quad-core vs dual-core, and seeing the performance of both in the same phone, we want to know.  Do you want a dual-core or quad-core chip in your next device?  Last year around this time we were starting to see dual-core phones emerge from manufacturers.  They all promised the best performance in a mobile device you've ever seen.  And they were right.  The Tegra 2, and later the OMAP 4 and Exynos were all strong performers.  Then came quad-core.  The same promises were made.  And again, they proved to be true.  Tegra 3 (otherwise known as Kal-El) put last years dual-core chips to shame.

Now we have Qualcomm firing back with a dual-core chip, the S4.  They are making the same promises.  Better performance, better battery life.  As we saw in Phil's review (gotta love the header!) of the One X they are mostly right.  Some people still have a soft spot for more cores, though, and performance is the same.  So what say you, dear reader? Tell us in tonight's poll!
