Apple Watch will get a badly needed makeover.

Apple unveiled significant changes to come with WatchOS 3, the upcoming iteration of the software that powers its wearable. Changes include a different way of navigating through the phone, with more-intuitive gestures and better use of the gadget's side button, as well as apps loading much faster.

We also look at Rhapsody's decision to change its name to Napster, getting us all nostalgic for our college music-pirating days. But it may not be a name that wins over the masses now.
