Weekly round-up

This is yet another bitty summer round -up but I hope most of you are now enjoying your summer and that those of you doing dissertations are not too stressed. Should you check your work emails in the evening? Is this bad for your stress? It all depends on how engaged you are with your role. Not only is the price of cocoa soaring but so is the price of hazelnuts after the early crop was damaged by  a surprise frost. Is Apple less creative under new CEO Tim Cook than under Steve Jobs? Announcements of a new iPhone 6 has failed to  excited the response that previous developments have engendered. However, this analysis shows those criticising Tim Cook are overemphasising the change in Apple's approach. In related news, Apple and Samsung has stepped down their legal disputes, outside America at least.

This is an article on the now-famous memo from CEO Max Schireson who has stood down to spend more time with his family. Something to think about as you go forward with your careers, it's not necessarily worth sacrificing everything for success at work.
