Patrick May, San Jose Mercury News

> These blue-shirted, mostly young men and women hovering at the trademark Genius Bar are what some customers call the heart and soul of Apple Stores. And in the 13 years since Apple launched its first tech-support station at its first store in Virginia, these digital doyens have helped make the planet's 424 Apple Stores the revenue-churning envy of the retail world.

> Beyond the customer implications for the changes we’ve seen though, I believe there’s a bigger story to tell, and questions to ask about the entire ecosystem that are (I suspect) being asked as much in Cupertino as they are elsewhere.

<http://www.nytimes.com/2014/05/25/books/review/chop-chop-by-simon-wroe.html?partner=rss&emc=rss>
Michelle Wildgen, New York Times

> This is not a book about a young man discovering the glories of food (except, briefly, when it is) or of his redemption through cooking (but sometimes, at an angle, it’s that too). Instead, “Chop Chop” is far more concerned with the dysfunctional ways in which people operate as a group, be it a crumbling family or a downtrodden kitchen brigade.
