Travel to and from San Francisco last week limited my availability to provide comment. I'm going to catch up with the 4 stories that most captured my interest.
First is the brand crisis ISIS is facing thanks to the group in Iraq with the same name. Does this spell trouble or what?

Next is the rumor that Microsoft will use the Lumia name instead of Surface, something this writer mentioned at the time of the release of the Surface Pro 3.

A good little article that talks about disruption in retail and some simple thoughts on how to approach the phenomenon.
