Microsoft has hired a company that is running a poll considering name options to the new Microsoft browser (here is the news source) and they are almost all definitely horrible: Entourage, Elixa, Evo, Evex, Endeavor, Edge (this last one is the only one I consider a viable name). They are even considering pairing these name options with IE, Internet Explorer or Microsoft, like "Internet Explorer Elixa". Because of such a great idea, people has already opened an Uservoice asking Microsoft to keep Spartan as the official browser's name. I ask you guys to do so, as I'm pretty sure almost everyone will agree that Spartan is definitely the best option. 

 

So, here is the link, guys, let's vote!

And please, share it so more people can vote!!!

I did, and I found nothing related. I just did it again using spartan and uservoice as keywords and this topic is the only one that is showed as a search result. If there was another topic about it already, go on and delete this one if you are able to do it or ask a moderator to do it then.

    • A coalition of publishers sued OpenAI and Microsoft over scraping content without consent by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com AI companies often rely on readily available internet content to train their chatbots and provide users with instant answers. This method of AI training is fast and relatively inexpensive, but using a website’s content without permission or compensation is not something publishers like to see, and this is exactly why Microsoft and OpenAI are now being sued. As reported by Bloomberg, a group of publishers that collectively own nearly 400 newspapers has filed a lawsuit against OpenAI and Microsoft. The coalition argues that the two companies scraped their content to build AI chatbots like ChatGPT and Copilot without paying any compensation. The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, argues that while AI products have generated billions of dollars in market value using publishers’ work, none of that value has been shared with the publishers. The plaintiffs are seeking statutory damages and injunctive relief for alleged copyright infringement and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. “Defendants systematically and secretly crawled the Publishers’ websites—including content behind paywalls and other access restrictions—and copied the Publishers’ articles, stories, and other original works onto their own servers without authorization,” the complaint states. The publishers also described the AI boom as a “death knell for local journalism” if AI companies that scrape content for free are not held accountable. Former New Jersey Attorney General Matthew Platkin and his law firm, Platkin LLP, are representing the publishers. “Our models empower innovation, are trained on publicly available data, and are grounded in fair use,” OpenAI spokesperson Drew Pusateri told Bloomberg. This is not the first lawsuit involving the unauthorized use of publishers’ content by AI firms, but it is one of the largest coalitions ever formed against the free use of content by AI chatbots. In 2024, OpenAI and Microsoft also faced a similar lawsuit from eight newspapers that claimed AI products were benefiting from their content without permission.
