Believe it or not, Blizzard has been working on more than just Hearthstone over the past several months. On Monday, the developer revealed that Heroes of the Storm, its take on the MOBA genre, will officially launch on June 2nd after entering into its technical alpha phase just over a year ago.
Anyone who has ever tried Carrot Fit at least once can tell you how delightfully annoying the fitness app is. It’ll make fun of you while it trains you, and make you laugh when you least expect it during a gruesome seven-minute workout from hell. And Carrot Fit users who plan on also purchasing the Apple Watch should know that Carrot Fit now has Apple Watch support.
Anyone can start by creating a video. All you have to do is give it a topic, like #AprilFools, then your friends can view it and choose to add their own clips on that topic. Once a friend adds a clip to your video, your friend's friends will also be shown the video in Riff and will be able to add to it. The potential pool of creative collaborators can grow exponentially from there, so a short video can become an inventive project between circles of friends that you can share to Facebook, or anywhere on the internet, at any time.
Apple has accused Samsung of stealing its ideas but now it looks like Apple is stealing away Samsung employees. The Korea Times reports that "Apple is luring away Samsung Electronics' experts in next-generation technology" with a particular focus on "technicians and engineers engaged in signal- and visual-processing management."

As with any good deal, there are a few conditions, but this might be one of the best deals you'll get on Motorola's latest flagship in the early months of 2015.
There is always a healthy mix of products at CES, from those that will never see the light of day, to those that will launch and immediately bomb, to those that are sure-fire hits right out of the gate. Some developers bank on successful ideas and put their own spin on them in order to ensure that, at the very least, someone will buy their product, but others prefer to take risks.
I would consider the Razer Forge TV a risky proposition.
