The ruling has wide-reaching implications for <keyword id="6354606" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="iPhone">iPhone</keyword> security research and copyright law, reports The Washington Post. The judge ruled that "Corellium's creation of virtual <keyword id="57315" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="iPhones">iPhones</keyword> was not a copyright violation, in part because it was designed to help improve the security for all iPhone users". "Corellium wasn't creating a competing product for consumers. Rather, it was a research tool for a comparatively small number of customers," the report quoted the judge as saying on Tuesday. The judge deferred ruling on a separate <keyword id="2437464" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Digital-Millenium-Copyright-Act">Digital Millenium Copyright Act</keyword> (DMCA) charge, but the result is still a significant setback for Apple. Founded in 2017, Corellium gave its customers the ability to run "virtual" iPhones on desktop computers. Corellium's software makes it unnecessary to use physical iPhones that contain specialised software to poke and prod iOS, Apple's mobile operating system. "We are very pleased with the Court's ruling on fair use and are proud of the strength and resolve that our clients at Corellium have displayed in this important battle," said the law firm Hecht Partners that represented Corellium. Apple did not immediately comment on the judgment. In the lawsuit, Apple argued that Corellium's products could be dangerous if they fall into the wrong hands because security flaws discovered by Corellium could be used to hack iPhones. "Apple also argued that Corellium sells its product indiscriminately, a claim Corellium denied". Apple attempted to acquire Corellium in 2018, according to court filings.

All of these countries and regions are experiencing "dire humanitarian crises", while also grappling with intensifying food insecurity, the coronavirus pandemic and, with the exception of the Central Sahel, "a looming famine", the Unicef said in a statement on Wednesday. "For countries reeling from the consequences of conflicts, disasters and climate change, Covid-19 has turned a nutrition crisis into an imminent catastrophe," Unicef Executive Director Henrietta Fore said. "Families already struggling to feed their children and themselves are now on the brink of famine. We can't let them be the forgotten victims of 2020," she added. Severe acute malnutrition is the most extreme and visible form of under nutrition. Children with severe acute malnutrition have very low weight for their height and severe muscle wasting. It is a major cause of death in children under five, and its prevention and treatment are critical to child survival and development. Through 2020, in spite of Covid-19 challenges, Unicef and its partners continued to deliver lifesaving assistance to the most vulnerable children and their families in the hardest to reach areas through adjustments on the existing programs to maintain and increase access. With the situation feared to worsen in 2021, Unicef called on humanitarian actors on the ground in these countries as well as the international community to urgently expand access to and support for nutrition, health and water and sanitation services for children and families. Unicef has appealed for more than $1 billion to support its lifesaving nutrition programs for children in countries affected by humanitarian crises over 2021.

The authorisation was significant for India as the Pune-based Serum Institute of India had tied up with Oxford University-AstraZeneca to manufacture the vaccine in India. America's Pfizer was the first to apply on December 4, followed by Serum Institute of India and Bharat Biotech, who applied on December 6 and 7, respectively. Pfizer has, however, requested more time to make its presentation before the committee. On December 9, the Subject Expert Committee had, however, asked Serum Institute of India and Bharat Biotech to submit more data and information to get emergency use approval (EUA) for their vaccine candidates. The expert panel had then asked SII to submit the outcome of the assessment of UK-MHRA for grant of emergency use approval, the updated safety data of the Phase-II/III clinical trials and immunogenecity data from the clinical trial in the UK and India. Bharat Biotech was recommended to present the safety and efficacy data from the ongoing Phase-III clinical trial in the country for further consideration.

These two missions are Extreme Ultraviolet High-Throughput Spectroscopic Telescope Epsilon Mission, or EUVST, and the Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer, or EZIE. Together, NASA's contribution to the missions will help us understand the Sun and Earth as an interconnected system, the US space agency said on Tuesday. Understanding the physics that drive the solar wind and solar explosions -- including solar flares and coronal mass ejections -- could one day help scientists predict these events, which can impact human technology and explorers in space. "We are very pleased to add these new missions to the growing fleet of satellites that are studying our Sun-Earth system using an amazing array of unprecedented observational tools," Thomas Zurbuchen, Associate Administrator for Science at NASA headquarters in Washington, said in a statement. The <keyword id="750760" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Japan-Aerospace-Exploration-Agency">Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency</keyword> (JAXA) leads the Extreme Ultraviolet High-Throughput Spectroscopic Telescope (EUVST) Epsilon Mission (Solar-C EUVST Mission), along with other international partners. Targeted for launch in 2026, EUVST is a solar telescope that will study how the solar atmosphere releases solar wind and drives eruptions of solar material. These phenomena propagate out from the Sun and influence the space radiation environment throughout the solar system. NASA's hardware contributions to the mission include an intensified UV detector and support electronics, spectrograph components, a guide telescope, software, and a slit-jaw imaging system to provide context for the spectrographic measurement. The budget for NASA contributions to EUVST is $55 million. The Electrojet Zeeman Imaging Explorer (EZIE) will study electric currents in Earth's atmosphere linking aurora to the Earth's magnetosphere -- one piece of Earth's complicated space weather system, which responds to solar activity and other factors. The Auroral Electrojet (AE) index is a common measure of geomagnetic activity levels, even though the details of the structure of these currents is not understood. EZIE will launch no earlier than June 2024, NASA said, adding that the total budget for the mission is $53.3 million.

NASA green lights two new missions — one to explore the Sun and the other to analyse space weather around Earth for $50 million each

New York, A <keyword id="98892" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="federal-court">federal court</keyword> has permanently shut down a US-based computer scam that preyed on elderly Americans using call centre operators in <keyword id="3658" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="India">India</keyword> resulting in losses of hundreds of thousands of dollars. In a statement on Tuesday, the <keyword id="67869" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Department-of-Justice">Department of Justice</keyword> said that the court gave the <keyword id="3528317" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Permanent-injunction">permanent injunction</keyword> against Michael Brian Cotter and four <keyword id="22917" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Companies">companies</keyword> barring them offering <keyword id="843005" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="technical-support">technical support</keyword> through telemarketing and web sites following a joint operation by US authorities and India's Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The alleged fraudsters in some cases impersonated Microsoft, which brought cases to the attention of the Transnational Elder Fraud Strike Force., the <keyword id="6360339" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="department">Department</keyword> said. The Department had filed in October a request for the injunction against Cotter and the companies before the court in Miami, <keyword id="6357385" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="florida">Florida</keyword>, which is an area with a concentration of retirees, and a temporary injunction was granted immediately and was now made permanent. Acknowledging India's cooperation, Acting Assistant Attorney General Jeffrey Bossert Clark said: "The Department is grateful for the cooperation of foreign law enforcement, including India's CBI, in investigating, disrupting, and prosecuting technical-support fraud schemes and other schemes originating abroad and directed at the American public." The complaint said that Cotter allegedly worked with co-conspirators in India, but did not identify them. One of the companies mentioned in the complaint is registered in Singapore. The US federal government also took over 19 domain names like "assistmysoftware" and "helpforsoftware" that were used in the alleged scam to prevent their continued use. According to the Department of Justice's complaint, the alleged fraud involved causing pop-up messages to appear on computer screens purporting to be from Microsoft or other companies falsely claiming that the computers were infected with viruses and asking the users to call a phone number for help. When they called the number it was transferred to call centres in India from where the operators asked to access the computers and then claimed they had detected "non-existent" problems and charged them hundreds of dollars claiming falsely to fix fake issues on the computer, the complaint said. The Department said that since President Donald Trump signed the Elder Abuse Prevention and Prosecution Act (EAPPA) into law in October 2017, it has participated in hundreds of enforcement actions against scams targeting seniors.

India's CBI helped US sleuths shut down a call centre scam that impersonated Microsoft at times

Washington, US Vice President-elect <keyword id="180909" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Kamala-Harris">Kamala Harris</keyword> has received the first dose of the <keyword id="9253744" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Moderna-vaccine">Moderna vaccine</keyword> against the novel coronavirus. According to the Biden-Harris transition team, Harris was vaccinated on Tuesday by Patricia Cummings, a clinical nurse manager at the United Medical Center. In a tweet late Tuesday, Harris said: "Today I got the <keyword id="8904563" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="covid-19-vaccine">Covid-19 vaccine</keyword>. I am incredibly grateful to our frontline health care workers, scientists, and researchers who made this moment possible. "When you're able to take the vaccine, get it. This is about saving lives." Harris' vaccination, which was also broadcast live on TV, came almost a week after President-elect Joe Biden received his. After receiving the shot, Harris said she wants to "encourage everyone to get the vaccine. It is relatively painless. It happens really quickly. It is safe". The Vice President-elect also confirmed that her husband, Doug Emhoff, would be receiving the first dose of the <keyword id="4912868" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="moderna">Moderna</keyword> vaccine on Tuesday, CNN reported. "I want to remind people that right in your community is where you can take the vaccine, where you will receive the vaccine, by folks you may know, folks who are otherwise working in the same hospital where your children were born. "Folks who are working in the same hospital where an elderly relative received the kind of care that they needed," CNN quoted Harris as saying. The <keyword id="6356255" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="us-food-and-drug-administration">US Food and Drug Administration</keyword> has granted emergency use authorization (EUA) for two Covid-19 vaccines: one from Pfizer/BioNTech and one from Moderna. The two vaccines have shown similar efficacy levels of near 95%, and both require two doses administered several weeks apart. On December 18, Vice President Mike Pence, Second Lady Karen Pence, Surgeon General Jerome Adams,House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell received the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccination all on live TV, in a bid to instill confidence among Americans. President Donald Trump, who had tested positive for the virus in October, is yet to get vaccinated. As of Wednesday morning, the US, currently the hardest-hit country in the world by the pandemic, has registered a total of 19,299,960 confirmed coronavirus cases and 334,830 deaths, according to the Johns Hopkins University. Both tallies are the highest in the world.
