Apple's "Nike Moment" turns into an "IKEA Moment"
Hi all,
I hope your final exams went well and that you had a good finish of H1. In order to provide you with some interesting reading for your leisure time during SIP/spring break, I have posted a few more news articles on Stellar. For example, Apple's "Nike Moment" seems to be turning into an "IKEA Moment" (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17405011).
Enjoy!
Best,
Caroline
