From today's Times' front page:

"Fabulous home theaters are tucked into the basements of plain suburban houses. The hand-painted Italian bicycles that flash across Silicon Valley on Saturday mornings have become the new Ferrari — and only the cognoscenti could imagine that they cost more than $20,000.
Even at Facebook, ground zero for the nouveau tech riche, peer pressure dictates that consumption be kept on the down low."
I guess that makes me a cognoscenti, even though with my screen resolution I can't tell if that 'nago is running EPS.
Interesting sidenote: the print edition has the following second sentence in the quoted exerpt:
"Bespoke jeans that start at $1,200 can be detected by a tiny red logo on the button."
I guess the web editors couldn't see the connection with Bora Ultras.
