Apple Watch Series 4 review: Small tweaks make a big impact
The entry-level, 40m Apple Watch Series 4 starts at $399 -- $70 more than the model it replaces. Ultimately, though, all the little improvements have made a lasting impact on the overall Apple Watch experience.

Google has eyed your desktop since before Chrome OS. It developed the ill-fated (and curiously named) Desktop, which was basically the company's take on the Windows Sidebar and worked on Linux, Mac and PCs.

What's more, the lawsuit seeks to ban Musk from serving as an officer of any public company. The Tesla board issued a statement in support of Musk, while the CEO said "Integrity is the most important value in my life and the facts will show I never compromised this in any way."
