    Why does it seem that the ITC is a party to this case?

    They should have no business before the federal court, making arguments to the Court. The federal court can read and consider the ITC's decision, but only Masimo and Apple are parties.

    What am I missing?
    A quick google search will reveal what you're missing: 

    As a quasi-judicial entity, the USITC investigates the impact of imports on U.S. industries, and directs actions against unfair trade practices, such as subsidies; dumping; and intellectual property infringement, including copyright infringement.

    The ITC is not any kind of judicial entity (quasi or otherwise); it is not like your (hypothetical) local cops coming to search you/your home without a warrant & the taking the entire family to jail & sentencing each of you to an arbitrary amount of time (I.e., open ended). 

    The cops never have the power to do anything close to this (not even here in the Eastern District of Texas Fed Court).

    The ITC is not the equivalent of the SS in the 3rd Riech, IMHO.

  • Apple gets backlash from India after uncovering hacks on journalists

    damn_its_hotdamn_its_hot
    Any pots calling kettle black lately?  Seems as plausible as a ‘stove fire’ divorce/dissolution of  marriage. No shame with new wife waiting in the wings.

    Seems quite unlikely that Apple would report a hack that was initiated by themselves!

    Maybe Modi is really looking for a window to be installed in his stomach to see where he is going?!

    Dumb and stupid by Sunbird and Nothing, yes. Dumber and more stupid is anyone who gives their credentials to a third party app or web site. Think Venmo and any other app/site that throws up a request to log in, regardless of how legitimate the page looks. That page is usually running within the context of the app/site so who can ever know what’s being done with your credentials? If it’s not a native browser secure session directly to the service, just say no. 
    I could not agree more - I grew up as an adult hearing the “Just Say No” aimed @ all of us living in a world where everyone was self medicating. All the humor on the late nights was about how funny it was to get Quazy and trip over your privates. I think applying the “Just Say No” line to this makes so much sense.
