Back in March, Google announced Android Wear, a project that extends the company’s mobile operating system to wearables, kicking off with support for watches specifically. A number of big-name brands have already used Wear on their timepieces, and some developers even let you create your own custom Android Wear watchface. Indeed, WearFaces is one such service, letting you personalize your smartwatch, be it a Samsung Gear, LG G, or Moto360. To help demonstrate this customization, WearFaces has launched the PEAR watchfaces for Android that are, erm, 100% original and bears zero resemblance to another fruity tech product. Someone has already…

Glympse has long since cemented its position as one of the most popular real-time location-sharing apps for mobile. If you’re new to it, it works like this: you decide which of your contacts can see where you are, so they can track your movements from A to B, and you can set a time-limit for how long the link you’ve shared is active.
