...even a light beer. All I wanted was to see a nice Cirque du Soleil show, work my expense account at Le Cirque with my only famous friend, Robert Goulet, and crash at the new hotel at Mandalay Bay, where my standard room has two bathrooms and three flat-screen TVs. But New Vegas won't let me be. It needs to show me what a great time it's having, with its supersized, sanitized, non-intimidating version of the same sins I don't want when I'm at home. I am deeply considering taking the beer...
...impeccable acting. Werlinder, in particular, is a marvel--shifting from playful to vulnerable to fierce in a matter of seconds as she wages a losing fight for her man. But the best thing about this movie is its sobriety about work. It is something our fictions, on page and screen, used to address regularly and now almost never do.

Last year LG was the world's largest seller of mobile phones operating on the cdma standard (a type of mobile-phone technology popular in Korea and North America).

A good chunk of those...
...climb LG has chosen is Mount U.S.A. This year LG is making its biggest thrust ever into the U.S. market, with a $100 million budget for advertising alone. Last year LG spent $10 million refurbishing a billboard in New York City's Times Square into a giant flat-screen TV, and it helped renovate a Los Angeles concert hall. LG is also buffing up its U.S. product line. Last July, LG began introducing its first LG-branded flat lcd and plasma TVs in the U.S., and next year it will launch its first high-definition TVs with built-in hard...
...complains a top manager. "I would prefer that he delegate a bit more." Kim is backing up his tough talk with a strategy to augment the company's design and technology prowess. For instance, LG.Philips announced in March it would invest $22 billion with its suppliers in new flat-screen production facilities over the next 10 years. Kim is recruiting engineers at a furious pace, aiming to increase research-and-development teams to 60% of LG's total payroll by 2005, from 40% today. One recent afternoon at the LG Electronics Corporate Design Center in Seoul, young Koreans in jeans...
