How is this possible? Historically, to track you, a website sent cookies or files to your computer, or examined various properties of your device. Anti-tracking systems, therefore, block these types of activities. The new tracking system, however, does not transmit cookies or files, and does not need to read unique properties; to web browsers – and to anti-tracking tools – its mechanism appears to operate like that of a normal webpage. So how does it work? When you visit a website that employs  Canvas Fingerprinting , as the new sneaky system is known, the site sends your web browser a request to generate a hidden image consisting of some text. Because individual computers have operating system versions, browsers, fonts, graphics adapter...

The consumer tech giant stirred excitement for Yosemite last month at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). There, Apple provided a teaser into how it is expanding its ever-evolving ecosystem of devices. The emphasis was on connectivity. A feature called “Handoff”, for example, lets users seamlessly transition whatever it is they’re doing on one device – making a phone call, working on a report – onto another. Developers have had the chance to experiment with the software since its June announcement. Now, users will get their chance to test it out.

Then, the following day, you will receive an e-mail from Apple with a link and activation...

He said that Pakistan condemned continuing Israeli aggression.   Ambassador Masood said that the people in Pakistan have expressed their solidarity with the entrapped and embattled people of Gaza through protests, rallies and resolutions. Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif has said that Israeli atrocities amount to genocide and has demanded tha...

The Ukrainian Defense Ministry said two Sukhoi-25 fighters were shot down Wednesday afternoon over an area called Savur Mogila. The planes may have been carrying up to two crew members each, according to Defense Ministry spokesman Oleksiy Dmitrashkovsky. The pilots ejected from the planes but it is not known if they survived, Fox News confirms. A search party is out looking for them. Reuters reported that Kiev blamed the latest incident on pro-Russian separatists, who are suspected of downing Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 last Thursday, killing all 298 aboard. Although Russia ha...

http://isthattrue.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/RFDgaza-sfSpan-300x199.jpg As Hamas has fired rockets into Israel, Israel has bombarded Gaza, Hamas’s home. Last week Israel invaded to destroy Hamas’s missiles and the tunnels that hide and transport them. While Israel has said its strikes were only intended to kill Hamas’s leadership and destroy its missiles, for every militant who has been killed, three Palestinian civilians have died. And while only two Israeli civilians have been killed by Hamas attacks, the death toll in Gaza is now more than 600, including 100 children. Are Israel’s actions appropriate and necessary self-defense in the face of an enemy that won’t be peaceful, or are they immoral and out of proportion to any threat?

http://isthattrue.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/Israeli-military-convoy-011-300x180.jpg IDF says it has destroyed 30%-40% of militant rockets and six tunnel shafts; Hamas has killed 29 soldiers and disrupted flights     After more than two weeks of intense fighting in Gaza, both Hamas andIsrael have racked up significant military achievements, albeit at the cost of hundreds of lives. About 140 militants have been killed in Gaza over the past two weeks, amounting to around 20%-25% of the total Palestinian death toll, which is mostly civilian. The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) says it has destroyed 30%-40% of militant rocket stocks. Adding in the 2,100-plus rockets fired from Gaza since the start of the conflict, it says the overall rocket capability of Hamas and other groups has been halved. It says there has been a 30% decline in rocket fire in recent days, although the Israeli military spokesman Peter Lerner said on Tuesday it was too early to say whether this was a significant trend. ...
