Apple Says It'll Fight A Potential Apple Watch Ban – And History Suggests It'll Succeed, by Hamish Hector, TechRadar

For one, Apple has told TechRadar that it will appeal the ITC’s decision – an appeal it could win – and for another, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) has ruled that key patents in AliveCor’s ITC case are invalid (i.e., they're inventions that should not be patentable). AliveCor is, understandably, appealing the PTAB decision, but while these appeals are being resolved Apple Watches won't be banned in the US.

And if history is anything to go by, Apple will likely succeed in preventing a ban being imposed on its smartwatches, whether it wins the legal battle or not.

I use a Windows machine at work, and a Mac computer everywhere else. I find that I have no idea switching between the two different desktop operating system. I don't get confused between the Dock and the Taskbar. I have no problems switching between Command key, and the hodgepodge of Alt and Windows and Control keys over at the dark side.

There is only one problem that I have. I have occasionally looked at the wrong screen corner for the clock.

(If you've never used Windows 11 before: the clock is on the bottom right of the screen.)
