Mozilla might not be as big as Google or Netflix in most consumers’ minds but as the maker of the popular Firefox browser, it does have some clout. That’s why it’s noteworthy that Mozilla on Monday recommended that the Federal Communications Commission use the “nuclear option” against Internet service providers by reclassifying them as common carriers under Title II of the Communications Act.

How to stop your iPhone from tracking your every move — TAKE BACK YOUR PRIVACY!

%name How to stop your iPhone from tracking your every move    TAKE BACK YOUR PRIVACY! by Authcom, Nova Scotia\s Internet and Computing Solutions Provider in Kentville, Annapolis Valley

Every few months, iPhone users around the world begin to panic yet again as a new round of tech blog coverage reminds us that Apple’s iPhone tracks our every move as part of a “Frequent Locations” feature. The potentially nifty feature allows iOS to monitor your position in order to determine places you visit most frequently, and this data could really come into play in future versions of Apple’s mobile platform by allowing your iPhone to present location-specific information that could be useful, perhaps similar to Google Now. Those concerned with privacy, however, likely want nothing to do with Apple’s Frequent Locations feature — and of course, disabling it couldn’t be easier.

Famed Swiss watch maker Swatch has recently said that it’s not too eager to make smartwatches of its own, and it won’t compete against the range of such devices that will invade stores this year. However, it appears that the Switzerland-based watchmaker is still somewhat afraid of Apple’s upcoming iWatch. The company is apparently trying to trademark the iWatch product name, in order to better defend a device of its own that’s called iSwatch, Watson reports.

THE LEAK WE’VE BEEN WAITING FOR: Completely redesigned iPhone 6 vs. iPhone 5s

The floods of leaks leading up to Apple’s various product announcements are inevitable, but they always seem to take a slightly different shape. Last year, things started somewhat slowly with a leak here and there, and then the more revealing details didn’t surface until the housings for the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c began leaking constantly. This time around, however, the more telling iPhone 6 leaks are seemingly starting earlier with device mockups that may reveal the brand new design of Apple’s next-generation flagship iPhone.

Will anything surprise us about the iPhone 6 when it releases this year? Nowhereelse.fr has posted yet another leaked picture showing a mockup of the silver iPhone 6, although this new picture is of much higher quality than the leaked pictures of the silver iPhone 6 mockup that we reported on last week. The picture shows a device whose power button has been moved from the top to the side just as we’ve seen in previous leaks, although it’s hard to tell from the angle of the picture whether the new mockup has the more curved edges we’ve seen in other iPhone 6 leaks.
