Internet group brands Mozilla 'internet villain' for supporting DNS privacy feature The trade group for U.K. internet service providers nominated Mozilla for the title because of a proposed security feature that ISPs say will allow users to "bypass U.K. filtering obligations and parental controls, undermining internet safety standards in the U.K." 4. Apple reportedly shifting to new keyboard design in 2019/2020 MacBooks Apple is set to replace the technology underlying the keyboards found in its MacBook Air and MacBook Pro computers, according to a new report from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. 5.
