It’s no secret that Apple doesn’t really love Google.

The launch of Apple’s own Maps app was an effort to get people to use a new native iOS mapping app rather than the Google-based map tool.

That project didn’t work out so well, and it even forced Apple to make a public apology online.

Now, Google is rolling out a new feature - Google Now – to iPhones and iPads with the latest update to the Google Search app.

With this move, Google is making itself comfy inside everyone’s iOS device.

Heck – the app is so convenient and it’ll feel so comfortable that Google could even be putting up its feet on the coffee table in Apple’s mobile homes.

Keep it locked here for a live stream of UNPACKED -- the launch of Samsung's new Galaxy S4 device.

The satisfying click when my thumbs hits the buttons gives me an endorphin rush each and every time. My name is Emma and I am a keyboard addict.

We’ve been enmeshed for almost a decade. There was a time that I couldn’t imagine living without my BlackBerry, but lately I have been missing out on some of the fun extras of the newer smartphones — like a good camera. So when Microsoft gave me an opportunity to try out the Nokia Lumia Windows 8 phone for a month, I eagerly, cautiously said yes.

I am a fairly average phone user — I use it for searching, email, Twitter and as an actual phone (yes, I’m a “voice’ dinosaur) as well as for kid distraction purposes.

Do you consider yourself creative? Well then, show off your originality by not describing yourself as such on your LinkedIn profile. As it turns out, you're just like many of the networking site's 187 million other job hunters who also claim to be "effective", "motivated" and "analytical".

But these terms amount to little more than overused, empty descriptors that may sound good but say almost nothing about the way you work.

The world's largest social network, Facebook, has finally updated its much-hated iOS app.

Previously, Facebook tried to take the HTML route with their mobile experience. One advantage was that using Facebook across different types of mobile devices was pretty much the same with a familiar layout.

But the app was garbage.

The old Facebook iOS app felt like it took forever to load, the newsfeed scrolled as slow as continental drift and photos loaded on a hit-and-miss basis, sometimes only in a low-rez mode where you would wonder if you had glaucoma.

God forbid you might try and click on a link that one of your friends posted on Facebook, as the app would pull up the page at the painful pace of bureaucratic change.

The new Facebook app is so much better, it's hard to imagine it came from the same company.

Facebook claims the app loads twice as fast, along with scrolling through your news feed and opening photos.

Whatever they've done, it makes using the Facebook app actually desirable.

While you're scrolling through the news feed, you'll receive notifications about your new status updates in an alert bar. Want to jump straight to their update?

Tap the bar and you're taken right here, quite quickly.

On the iPad version, the overall experience is much similar to what you'd find using Facebook on a normal computer.

To get the updated app, just download it through the App Store.

What do you think of the new Facebook app? Which improvements would you still like to see?

A company in the U.K. is offering people free wireless Internet – if they watch enough ads.

Data service on smartphones and tablets is typically expensive when compared to traditional voice fees. But it now seems one company is offering a reprieve for penny-pinching consumers.

The transition away from traditional desktops and laptops has taken another step toward mobile, after Asus announced a clever solution to get Android apps on its PCs.

Microsoft’s Internet Explorer web browser is still the world’s most popular web browser, but Google’s Chrome browser is pretty close behind.

According to statistics released by marketing agency Monetate, IE has 32.42 per cent global market share. But Google Chrome is right behind at 32.28 per cent.

Firefox, once a strong second-place finisher, appears to have fallen behind, clinching just about a quarter of the market share.

The world’s largest social network has rolled out a photo app just like Instagram, just a few weeks after it bought the company for $1 billion.

Facebook Camera lets users snap photos, and then apply neat effects to make pictures look vintage and artistic.

Obviously the next step is to tag friends and then upload the photos to Facebook. Users can also check a stream of their friends’ latest photos by swiping up and down.

A new report suggests Microsoft may have a version of its popular MS Office in the works for the iPad and Android tablets.
