Mark O’Neill reported on MakeUseOf this morning:
Google has just updated their terms of service allowing them to use your Google profile information in their ads. Which is worrying, because who really reads terms and conditions?
If you, like most everybody, would rather not appear in Google ads willy nilly, PYBT: Google Will Use Your Profile Information In Their Ads – Unless You Opt Out.

As Christina Bonnington reports in Wired:
Each week, there are dozens of rumors, reports, and patent filings that hint at what’s coming out of Cupertino next. Some are legit, but many are totally bogus. As always, we’ve parsed the rumors, ranking them in order from “utterly ridiculous” to “duh, of course”. First up…
DON’T COUNT ON IT: “iPhone 6” Photos Galore
It, of course, gets better from there. PYBT: This Week’s Apple Rumors, Ranked From Dumbest to Most Plausible for all the juicy tidbits.
At The Sweet Setup:
Every week we try to post a new interview with someone about what software they use on their Mac, iPhone, or iPad. We do these interviews because not only are they fun, but a glimpse into what tools someone uses and how they use those tools can spark our imagination and give us an idea or insight into how we can do things better.
Today’s victim, er, interviewee:
I’m David Chartier and I am a Content Strategist and Writer. I run marketing and PR for AgileBits (makers of 1Password and Knox) and a few clients. I also run Finer Things in Tech and got my start in the industry as a blogger for TUAW, then an Associate Editor at Ars Technica and Macworld. I freelance occasionally for Macworld, The Mac Observer, and The Wirecutter.
Editor’s note: David was kind enough to provide us with his Mac, iPhone, and iPad setups. To keep it all straight, we’ve deviated a bit from the normal format, but everything is labeled so you can enjoy the read.
You can catch David’s complete story here: David Chartier’s sweet setup.
