-Jeff Koons' augmented reality Snapchat artwork gets 'vandalized'
-SanDisk now makes an "industrial" SD/microSD card that'll work in extreme Winnipeg winters
-Porsche launches on-demand subscription for its sports cars and SUVs
-Feds and Province of PEI help fund VR startup that'll allow you to play virtual board games
-Dow Jones reported fake news about Google buying Apple
-Yashica released a digital camera that makes you load fake film and wind it
