Tata, Tablets, Oil, Sport & Greece.

First up this week a fascinating programme from Radio Four about The Tata Group. Looking at technology here's a piece from the Guardian looking at the slow-down of the market in Tablets. Is the cause improved smartphones, a fightback from laptops or a lack of innovation? Take a read and see what you think. Twitter's shares continue to grow, despite flat user rates but the CEO is still under pressure to grow the user base.
The Finicial Times continues there run of great Special Reports with on on Exchange Traded Funds.

I'll round up this weeks links with a selection of videos. Firstly on the response from Aberdeen on the fall of Oil prices. Surprisingly the chief executive here insists on a positive outlook despite the falling prices. Another video compares the expansion of two sports to the expansion of the other businesses which might be really thought-provoking for those of you wanting a career in a different kind of business. Finally two video takes on the very exciting and fast changing situation in Greece. Firstly looking at the situation facing Greek Banks and secondly one looking at the attempts by Yanis Varoufakis, the new Greek Finance Minister's attempts to win friends to his plans for Greece and the Euro-zone.
