What happened to Safari Web Eraser -- the controversy, and what it looked like
What I would like to see is Safari Web Tracking Eraser…
Just leave the ad… but erase all tracking code from the page!
Like in all ‘paper’ newspapers… I see the ad… but it does not steal my info!

Apple Intelligence inches closer to Apple's 1987 Knowledge Navigator
Good analysis… William!
I think you forgot one point: The 1987's video spoke of ‘forest raind‘… and in 2024 we are dealing with a huge climate change problem!
On the other side… to find the music of the video… maybe you must try Classical Music! -
French publishers ask Tim Cook to abandon forthcoming Web Eraser
quote: “"[It would] restrict citizens' access to free…”
They forgot to tell us that… they will be sell our private user data to advertisers!
If we remember the paper newspapers… they had lots of ads —the most selling newspaper in Argentina had more of 60% of its paper surface filled with ads—… but those ads did neither track us nor steal our use behavior.
Maybe Apple can implement a ‘Track Eraser’: It leaves the page as it is… but erases all the ‘tracking code’ in the ads. You just see them!

Affinity update adds QR code generator, variable font support
Long… long ago… maybe too long to most readers… Adobe developed Multiple Master fonts.
Those could change the width, stroke, etcetera… but also the could change form Serif to Sans-Serif and more.
That did not work too good at its time. But now it seems to be resurrected in ‘variable fonts’" -
How Apple has steadily been dropping the 'i' from its devices for over a decade
First of all… let us remember that the ‘i’ was not always mean ‘internet’!
Steve Jobs was… iCEO… interim CEO.
Although the ‘i’ run wild… I think I should remain in the iPhone and other places.
The original ‘iMac’ was the ‘internet’ Mac… so it should be remain with that name.
The problem began with the iPod… as a device it had nothing to do with internet.
But its name came from a previous unreleded ‘internet Pod.’ The story goes that Steve, tired of discussing names, decided for it.
On the funny side of events… it was the origin of… ‘podcasts’… a now internet only journalism.
The original ‘iBook’ was also meant to ‘easily connect with the internet’… but it is good that it is gone.
The origina ‘iTunes’ was also meant to download music from the internet. But it is now better being Music.
The iPhone brought the full internet to the cellphone! Do we remember the ‘mobi’ sites?
So… the iPhone… deserves the ‘i’ forever.
The iPad is a kind of… someone between the iMac and the iPhone… Not the perfect name but no really bad.
iCloud… is a full internet service… so it is perfect as a name.
So… what I meant to say is… keep the ‘i’ withe all the devices/services REALLY involving the internet.
(As a side note, the PowerBook name… reflected the name of the chip inside: PowerPC… and that was a registered trademark of IBM. When Apple used Intel chips… ghould it name the laptop IntelBooks?)
