iOS 8 will add a new feature allowing apps to pick up passwords and login credentials directly from Safari's AutoFill feature and iCloud Keychain. This will, in turn, make the business of logging into apps much more streamlined, allowing you to sign in with a simple tap.
As a part of the Windows Phone 8.1 announcement, Microsoft finally took the wraps off Cortana, it's ecosystem's very own answer to Siri and Google Now. At the time, the software maker touted it as a voice assistant encompassing the best features of Apple and Google's respective services, and such is the faith that the Windows maker has in Cortana, that versions for iOS and Android are now being prepared.
Brazil and Croatia kicked off this summer's World Cup with what can only be described as a controversial 90 minutes of action, but with three matches scheduled for today and more to follow, football's most celebrated tournament is about to get into full swing.

We never miss out on a good deal on an app going free for iOS or Android. And today, we’ve stumbled across a brilliant productivity app for iOS, and a word puzzle game for Android, both of which have gone free for a very limited time, and you should waste no time in downloading them before the developers bring it back to their original prices!
Scarcely a year has gone by since the social network's inception that at least one privacy-motivated backlash hasn't beset Facebook, and given that the Menlo Park firm is now selling your search history to help advertisers better target you with specific products, you have to say that the adverse reaction in some quarters of the tech community is self imposed by Zuck and his firm this time around. But while this is almost entirely bad news for some concerned Facebook users, there is a silver lining in that you can opt out should you so wish, and here, we're going to show you how.
The 2014 FIFA World Cup is well and truly happening in Brazil, and if you want to ensure you don't miss a second of the 64 total matches being held over the next few weeks, then we're going to show you how you can tune in via your browser, smartphone, tablet, set-top box or console.
Before Apple announced iOS 8 at WWDC, there had been plenty of chatter that a new split-screen mode was on its way to the iPad which would allow two apps to run side-by-side in a similar way to the feature offered by Microsoft's Surface tablet. As the opening keynote of WWDC came and went, no mention was made of this rumored feature, but now that iOS 8 is in the hands of developers, mention of the split-screen mode has been found throughout the Software Development Kit that Apple provides.
Finding good apps on the iTunes App Store is a bit of a tedious task at the best of times, and while developers regularly throw out promotional deals, tracking them down can be as arduous as tracking them down. But we're always monitoring the situation here, hoping to stumble across a real gem offered considerably lower than the usual RRP, and occasionally, we strike gold with a freebie. Today, a $12.99 app has just hit that magical zero-dollar price tag, and below, we've got all of the details - including that all-important download link.
There's no doubt that the iPad Air, released late last year by Apple, was the best upgrade to the company's tablet line-up since the original slate hit the scene back in 2010. With its slick, iPad mini-like form factor and high-end specs, it seemed miraculous that the Cupertino company had managed to squeeze so much hardware into such a svelte package, and now, its forthcoming successor, the iPad Air 2, is apparently about to go into production.
As ever, we're back with a fistful of great apps just gone free on the App Store, and if your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch is notably bereft just now, then this would be an ideal moment to stock up. There are three in total, and given that they would ordinarily set you back a total of $9, this is definitely a freebie bundle you won't want to be missing out on!
