Well, that was fast. The first batch of Moto 360 devices which went up for sale or pre-order in the US have already been claimed. It seems pent up demand for Motorola's circular wearable, which launched yesterday was quite strong and everyone who might have been on the fence about Android Wear devices decided this device was the one to go for. Not only did the Moto 360 sell out of Motorola's online store, Google Play's store and even on Best Buy's US website. Can we expect the same amount of buyer enthusiasm when Moto 360 comes to Canada this fall? We'll have to wait and see.

Intuit releases Quicken 2015 for Mac

It took seven years, but Intuit finally released an all-new version of Quicken for the Mac. Available for download from Quicken.com for $74.99, Quicken 2015 for Mac also sports an updated design, reminiscent of Apple's new "flat" design direction in OS X Yosemite. A companion app for iOS, Quicken Money Management is free. 

While showcasing many of the features of older versions, Quicken 2015 lacks the the ability to create a 12-month budget, show loan amortization as well as pay bills within the application. Other features available to the Windows version, like multi-currency conversion and advanced investment options, are also missing from the Mac variant, though may be coming soon.

Google I/O attendees getting Moto 360 release notices for September 5

Coinciding with the news that Motorola plans to host an event involving smartphones, wearables and personal audio in Chicago on September 4, Google is touching base with Google I/O attendees who opted for the Moto 360 smart watch over the offerings from LG and Samsung. Saying that they 'would send out Moto 360s as soon as they became available," the notice earmarks September 5 as the deadline for these folks to send their mailing info, which just happens to be the day after Motorola's big product reveal at the Windy City. So, the most anticipated Android Wear device is likely coming to Google Play and other outlets soon after.
