"In ‌iOS 18‌, Apple Intelligence is codenamed Graymatter. There are references to a waitlist, with specific strings that say “Join the Graymatter Waiting List” and “Joined Waitlist.” There is also wording that refers to it as a “limited preview.”

“While Graymatter is in limited preview, you may experience unusually slow responses when not in a supported region.”

Affinity is having a 50% off flash sale right now. All three V2 Universal License for $82.99 USD. You can install them on any platform, including Mac, iPad, and Windows. Not sure how long the flash sale lasts, but you can’t beat the price.

I think it's only until Tuesday. 

Since the terms were finally announced a few weeks ago and I didn't see where AppleInsider had updated the story...

The trial result is that Google was not found to have collected private user data in Incognito Mode, did not associate the technical data it did collect with any user profile, or use any of it for ad personalization, nor did the company benefit financially. As a result, no damages were awarded, though $5 Billion had been attorneys demand. 

But with regard to the lawsuit, Google has said they will delete any and all technical data collected during Incognito browser sessions. 

And that's the settlement after all was said and done.

The important sentence fragment: "as well as to use the materials (photos, videos et al) you submit for Apple internal purposes" Those internal purposes are left open-ended and unspecified. Review by a human, hopefully an Apple employee and not a contractor, may also be just as much an issue, or non-issue, for those under an NDA as it might be at Adobe.

The point here is that these conditions apply to material submitted to media services, like reviews and user contributions, not to the content of you iCloud disk or iPhone or Mac. They are pretty standard conditions for these kind of submission.

By the way, what Adobe says doesn't matter at all; legal terms are legal terms, and providing a worldwide exclusive license have a precise meaning, that no amount of explication from Adobe can change. I don't think Adobe has bad intentions here, i think they just choose the bad lawyer to write the text. But the text is there, and it holds if you accept it.

Unfortunately gator seems unable to grasp the difference you just explained. I’d just ignore him until he gets it.

Post 12.

It's you who doesn't yet get it. Some readers did.

You get it. And that's just what happened to Adobe.
