  • Apple TV+ drama 'Foundation' to become Ireland's biggest-ever production

    There is no "southern" Ireland. Troy Studios is not in "southern" Ireland. Troy Studios is located in Limerick, Ireland.  That other place is part of England.
    Errrr? Nope. Being pedantic...

    Troy Studios is not in "southern" Ireland. Troy Studios is located in Limerick, Republic of Ireland.  That other place is part of "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland".

  • Apple's Intelligent Tracking Protection can be exploited to track Safari users, says Googl...

    Google is just being Google. i.e. Evil, pure Evil. Their whole business model revolves around knowing as much (if not more than we do) about each and every one of us 24/7/52. It really is that simple.
    They are the enemy within so stop feeding their dragon.

    There are lists of domains that the likes of Google and Facebook and the rest out there. Use them and block them either at your firewall or in your hosts file. keep them updates as they (Google etc) love to add more endpoints for their slurping of our lives.

    It also pays every once in a while and preferably using something like a computer in a public library well away from your home town to search Google for yourself. You would be surprised what is public knowledge about you.
    Don't ever use your real name to post on the internet. That will make their job of tracking you so much easier.

    Well done to Apple for getting this far but we all know that the battle is not over. Like Orwell said, (or something like this) "We have always been at war with ... " Insert Google and that's where we are at.

    We can do so much to help ourselves to stay anonymous. Turning off BT and WiFi on your phone when out and about stops a lot of tracking from other devices dead in the water.

  • Apple's $2.2 billion 'Green Bond' issue will fund carbon emission reductions

    If this money is to be spent in Europe then Poland, Belarus and Ukraine would be good places to start.
    A very high proportion of the Electricity generated in Poland comes from Coal and often not very good coal (high in Sulphur) at that.

    All cars already have a "seat belt not on" warning light that works simply. 
    My Car has a very loud and annoying beep when I drive more than 200yds without the seatbelt on. You really don't want to go very far with that blaring out.
    I have to admit that I have a seat belt thingy that I can plug in that defeats it. I don't use it on the road but going up farm tracks where there are four gates in half a mile. It is a PITA to have to keep taking the belt on and then off again so frequently but it isn't on the road so who really cares?

    A patent filing does not a product make, however if the are still going down this road, IMHO its a waste of time and money..
    As you say, a patent filing does not a product make. I'm ok with Apple looking at this sort of thing.

    Doing some R&D is just the first step towards a POSSIBLE product. It would be amiss of Apple if they didn't investigate this and many other technologies even if they later discard them. Something that they learn in that work might come in useful in another project.
    Much of R&D leads to a dead end but you don't know that when you start unless you have a Crystal Ball in your pocket.
