...Business or Pleasure The new snug jacket from BCBG by Max Azria is chic enough to wear to the office-adding a dash of color to any workaday suit-or cool enough to step out in on casual occasions over jeans and a camisole...
This time last year, Jackie Hung was working 24/7. As the organizer of Hong Kong's second July 1 pro-democracy march, Hung was swamped by daily meetings with political groups, NGOs, and the authorities to discuss turnout and crowd control.

The good news there is that the Cinego has analog and digital audio outputs, so you can connect your own stereo pair, or even a 5.1-surround sound amp and speakers if you like. But then you'd lose the ability to watch-and-dash (or, at home, watch-and-stash). In the morning, to my host's chagrin, I packed everything back into the box and walked out the door...
