Apple may reveal its 16-inch MacBook Pro tomorrow

[ad_1] There’s no mention of a corresponding update to the 13-inch model, although that’s not surprising. Apple only just updated the smaller laptop in July — it’s a bit soon for a refresh, let alone a major one.

Opera’s stricter privacy controls could also speed up your web browsing

[ad_1] The blocker depends on the EasyPrivacy Tracking Protection List, which covers a host of known tracker scripts. It’s not automatically determining which trackers are the offensive ones. There are some functional upgrades beyond this, we’d add. An upgraded Snapshot lets you save sites as PDFs, capture screenshots of the entire page and crop specific […]
