By Gadjo Cardenas Sevilla 

Apple Watch offers a distillation of the iPhone’s hallmark features so users can opt to use their iPhones less. The Watch can make or take calls, receive notifications, as well as get mirrored push alerts just like the competitor’s devices, but it can also do so much more.

It is the first major project undertaken by Jony Ive without Steve Jobs, it is the company’s first wearable and it is seen as the necessary replacement to the diminishing iPod product line.

Tesla opens site to sell used electric cars

Tesla likes to sell its electric cars directly to the public and they’re extending that to their used vehicles as well. The company just opened an online store for pre-owned Tesla cars at a discount. It’s available through a handful of cities in the US and Canada at the moment. But it comes with 4-year, 50,000-mile warranty to assuage fears that you might be getting a lemon. It’s still going to cost you a bit but for those who want to own a Tesla but don’t have enough to pay full price, this might be a good deal.

Google experiments with tweets in mobile search results

Google has partnered with Twitter a few months back to give the search giant more access to tweets. We’re starting to see the fruits of this deal with a new feature on Google Search for mobile. Google is testing out putting tweets into search results on mobile. For example, if you were searching for #Maythe4thbewithyou, tweets of that topic will start showing up grouped in a carousel so you can peruse through the latest tweets. It is currently a small test though and only some users are able to see this at the moment. But once, Google integrates this more, we might be seeing a more polished version of this feature in the near future.
