HTC One (M8) units on TELUS and Rogers finally getting Lollipop OS update

The Android Lollipop OS 5.0.1 is finally coming to Canadian HTC One (M8) owners. The update weighs in at around 500 mb and brings various changes to the flagship phone bringing impreoved performance, the Material Design UI updates as well as expected tweaks to HTC's Sense UI and various apps and features. 

Android's Lollipop OS has been one of the slowest and most convoluted rollouts ( older Nexus Devices like the Nexus 7 2013 haven't even received it yet), so it is good to see great hardware like the HTC One (M8) get the latest, greatest software. The update is available via an OTA update on TELUS and Rogers devices.

Apple Watch will be able to control Tesla cars remotely

Owners of Tesla's high-tech electric cars will be able to control various aspects of their vehicles remotely using the Apple Watch and companion app. The app allows navigation and control via multiple screens to monitor the Tesla's battery life and remaining range, track the car's location, lock and unlock the doors, sound the horn, operate the lights, open and close the sunroof and adjust passenger and driver temperatures. While still in beta, the app should be ready to give Tesla owners Bond-like control of their cars by the time Apple Watch ships in April.
