Google is making Incognito Mode more incognito, a report by 9to5Google claims. Currently, Incognito Mode does not really hide your presence from websites because web developers can still detect if you're using the mode in the first place, making it pointless. Essentially, developers enable the "FileSystem" API to detect you. This API is meant to be disabled during Incognito Mode, because it is where data would usually be stored. The report explained that "when asked for a file system while in Incognito, Chrome will create a virtual one using RAM, to fully ensure it’s deleted once you leave Incognito". Eventually however, Google intends...

However, on Thursday, the National Prosecuting Authority announced that Ajay Gupta's warrant for arrest has been revoked. The news...

Load shedding apps first came to the fore in 2014, back when it was common practice for our glorious electricity provider to switch off our lights at the most inconvenient times. Some five years later, South Africa's once again facing long nights lit only by ever-shortening candles. But while this fate can't be avoided by the average South African, we can all be prepared for when it does. That's where apps, and their ability to quickly serve information, come to the fore. We've seen a fair few of these come and go, but one has stuck around since 2014. Perhaps its the name,...
