...maker introduced China's first PDA based on Microsoft's Chinese Windows CE in May 1999. It has also promoted H-Open, a Chinese operating system it co-developed with a government think tank. But today, PDAs with Windows account for just 15% of Legend's sales, while buyers flock to low-cost devices running cheaper software. No outside developer or competitor has adopted H-Open. All this offers a sobering lesson for the multinationals that are cautiously entering the market. Earlier this year, Compaq introduced a Chinese iPAQ. But with a retail price of $723, it is hard...
...pure elegance by patron saint of paris fashion read the headline of the piece by the Daily Telegraph's Hilary Alexander. "It proved that he holds all the secrets of couture in his hands," said Suzy Menkes in the International Herald Tribune. Such is the sound of the fashion flock paying homage to a once-great designer. But in Saint Laurent's case, there's even more reason to rave.

But by end-running the generally liberal church to ally with traditionalist archbishops in Africa and Asia, they drew accusations of schism: not only from the American body's presiding bishop, Frank Griswold, but also from the Archbishop of Canterbury, George Carey, head...
...kids who gather on sunny afternoons on a concrete plaza at the corner of hip boulevards Meiji and Omotesando seem to be taking their cultural cues from myriad psychedelic compass points: Ibiza, Goa, San Francisco. Hopping trains into the city from all over Japan, these teens and twentysomethings flock for the express purpose of flaunting some of the wackiest Mad Hatter outfits east of Fillmore West. They get gussied up in sidewalk dragging, patchwork skirts under military jackets, or blood red, cropped kimonos paired with platforms and body piercings. The kids tote tom-toms, shopping bags, vinyl purses shaped like...
