This is a free Safari extension that helps ensure greater
privacy by preventing Google and Facebook from tracking
the user?s movements and actions while online.
Incognito protects the user by blocking Google AdSense

11 Quotes: Steve Jobs
The people who are doing the work
are the moving force behind the Macintosh.
My job is to create a space for them,
to clear out the rest of the organization and
keep it at bay.
To turn really interesting ideas and fledgling technologies
into a company that can continue to innovate for years,
requires a lot of disciplines.
Steve Jobs
