| CES 2015: Unlocking a Hyundai with your Android Wear smartwatch is coming Posted:  The pool of people who have both a Hyundai car and an Android Wear is probably relatively small, but those individuals will soon get a treat: the ability to start their cars on their watches. There are smartphone apps that let users start their cars, but this appears to be the first wearable application that does the same. The "Blue Link" Android Wear app will let users locate, unlock and start their cars from their wrists, Hyundai revealed in an announcement today. The app should theoretically work with any of the company's Blue Link-connected cars. But with Android Auto picking up steam, Hyundai will likely soon not be alone in offering functionality like this. Like everything else that's even remotely exciting this week, it will debut at CES 2015, so keep an eye out once TechRadar is at the show.

| Twitter's Facebook-like 'while you were away' feature is arriving Posted:  Twitter is rolling out a feature that it teased back in November: a "while you were away" section that sits at the top of users' home feeds. The feature has begun appearing in some users' apps, as a quick Twitter search for "while you were away" reveals. The "while you were away" lives up to its name by showing you popular or important tweets posted since you last looked at the service. Precisely how Twitter determines what's relevant to you is unclear, but the non-chronological nature of "while you were away" makes comparisons to Facebook's News Feed easy. Some users may get annoyed that their Twitter home screens are showing them old news, but the regular chronological feed resumes after a bit of scrolling, and this feature is most definitely better than the other unsolicited crap Twitter rolled out in 2014. It does once again beg the question, though: what's the point of Twitter if it's just like Facebook?
