The upcoming Steve Jobs documentary, titled Steve Jobs: The Man in the Machine, may have premiered at SXSW 2015 in Austin, Texas this year, but if you weren't there then you probably haven't seen too much about the film.

Apple has started a new advertising campaign on the web, alongside its recent "If it's not an iPhone, it's not an iPhone" for TV offering.

What we didn't know was that the Game DVR app has a neat trick up its sleeve.
Microsoft has today added to its ever growing stable of iPhone apps, launching a new email app for Apple's smartphone, called Send. Joining Outlook as a Microsoft-branded iPhone email app, Send is available to download for free from the App Store today, though you will have to be in the United States or Canada in order to get your hands on it - Microsoft is keen to get the ball rolling slowly to kick things off, it seems.
Google has long had something of a P.R. problem as far as privacy is concerned, and while some of it can be labeled as people getting a little carried away with themselves, there is no doubt that the amount of information Google has about us makes it easy to be a little uncomfortable with it.
