Play ‘Cards Against Humanity’ for free on your PC or mobile devices

Are you a fan of the game Cards Against Humanity? Well, now there’s a digital version of it created by Canada-based designer Dawson Whitfield.  It’s called Cards Against Originality, it’s a “shameless copy” of the original card game but it is allowed under the Creative Commons license that permits individuals to “use, remix, and share the game for free.” Aside from the original deck of cards, this online version also has the five expansion sets. You can play it on a smartphone, PC, or tablet. You just need to be in the same room to play. Tap the “new game” button and they’ll create a link you can share with your friends to join the game.

LaCie drops the first external USB-C external drive for new MacBook

Known for stylin' hard drives that reflect and fit nicely into the Mac and Apple design landscape, LaCie has announced it is making some Porsche Design Mobile Drives for the new MacBook. These will have capacities of 500GB, 1TB, or 2TB  wiith up to 5 Gb/s transfer speeds and will use the hotly divisive single USB-C port on the MacBook (or a USB 3.0 adaptor). Isn't it amazing how in just a few days after Apple's MacBook reveal, USB-C is now a thing? We're expecting even more  USB-C MacBook accessories to be announced shortly.

Apple to remove Jawbone and Nike FuelBand health trackers from stores to make way for Apple Watch

Months after discontinuing sales of the FitBit trackers, Apple is reportedly removing Jawbone Up24 and Nike FuelBand devices from its stores to make way for Apple Watch displays. Space is a finite resource in Apple Retail Stores, so it makes sense that Apple will jettison third party products in favour of their latest product. Retail Stores are expected to receive an overhaul to accomodate the unique display and selling of Apple Watch devices and straps.
