The spin on this report is making me dizzy. 

The actual facts of the case appear to be this:

AliveCor held patents in the area of ECG reader tech. Apple built ECG tech into the Apple Watch. AliveCor claims Apple has violated its patents, and took two parallel actions. They 1) filed a patent infringement suit against Apple, and 2) asked the International Trade Commission to ban US imports of Apple Watch if  AliveCor wins the trial against Apple in the infringement cases. 

Three things have resulted so far. 1) The courts invalidated AliveCor’s patents. 2) The ITC approved the import ban that would go into effect if AliveCor wins its infringement cases. 3) The President did not exercise his option to overrule the FTC. 

This is not the same thing as suggested by this headline and article, that Joe Biden somehow sided with AliveCor to “uphold” a ban. 

This whole thing is moot unless AliveCor turns everything around and wins the infringement case on appeal, which is unlikely. So why, other than cynical click bait, run a headline that makes it sound like Joe Biden is personally going to take your Apple Watch away?

Thank for actually pointing this out. Apple haters and others that should know better got this decision completely wrong on several counts. The ITC states unequivocally:

"The enforcement of these orders, including the bond provision, is suspended pending final resolution of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Patent Trial and Appeal Board’s (“PTAB”) Final Written Decisions finding the asserted patent claims unpatentable." 

So AliveCor's only hope is the antitrust trial that now appears to be a Hail Mary on its end. It's more likely that the clock will run out and AliveCor will wind up empty-handed.

Looks like some info is missing. The customer claims it wasn't delivered, but Apple and Uber Eats have to double-check and confirm what the driver claimed. Happened to me recently with an Amazon order. I got notified that two packages were delivered, and was provided with a photo of the delivery. The porch in the provided photo isn't mine though. When I contacted CS to report the wrong delivery, they wanted me to either wait till Monday to see if the package was marked delivered too early or go to the house and ask my neighbor. I wasn't doing either as the package was clearly not delivered properly and I am not risking a confrontation due to Amazon's mistake. They've done this before and instructions say to double-check the address.

Unlike the customer in this story, I got refunded immediately since two out of the three items are no longer available.

Gym Jordan knows a thing or two about collusion.

Rather odd. How would civilians get access to the police vehicle? No one saw them opening the hood of a police car? More likely done on police property by fellow law enforcement. Maybe internal affairs? I thought cars are assigned/signed out on a daily basis. Why would a single car that could be assigned to any pair of officers be targeted?

Some law enforcement take their cars home. 

Not marked NYPD cars in NYC.
