<b>Apple Settles With Corellium, Then Appeals</b> Content:
<a href="https://twitter.com/ReedAlbergotti/status/1425266177022992390">Reed Albergotti</a>:

Apple has dropped its lawsuit against Corellium, which was scheduled to go to trial and was being closely watched by a security industry that feared it would have a chilling effect on research tools used to make software safer.

<a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2021/08/11/apple-corellium-lawsuit-settlement/">Sami Fathi</a>:

Citing court documents, <em>The Washington Post</em> reports that Apple and Corellium have agreed on a confidential settlement to bring the lawsuit to an end. Despite Apple’s grievances with Corellium, however, the settlement does not include Corellium suspending the sale and distribution of tools used by security researchers.

Mr. Federighi pointed to another benefit of placing the matching process on the phone directly. “Because it’s on the [phone], security researchers are constantly able to introspect what’s happening in Apple’s [phone] software,” he said. “So if any changes were made that were to expand the scope of this in some way — in a way that we had committed to not doing — there’s verifiability, they can spot that that’s happening.”

On Monday, Corellium <a href="https://www.corellium.com/blog/open-security-initiative">announced</a> a $15,000 grant for a program it is specifically promoting as a way to look at iPhones under a microscope and hold Apple accountable. On Tuesday, Apple filed an <a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/transactional/apple-files-appeal-notice-copyright-lawsuit-against-cybersecurity-firm-2021-08-17/">appeal</a> continuing the lawsuit.
In an interview with MIT Technology Review, Corellium’s chief operating officer, Matt Tait, said that Federighi’s comments do not match reality.

<a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/transactional/apple-files-appeal-notice-copyright-lawsuit-against-cybersecurity-firm-2021-08-17/">Joseph Menn</a> (via <a href="https://www.macrumors.com/2021/08/17/apple-appeals-corellium-copyright-lawsuit/">MacRumors</a>):

The appeal came as a surprise because Apple had just settled other claims with Corellium relating to the Digitial Milennium Copyright Act, avoiding a trial.
Experts said they were also surprised that Apple revived a fight against a major research tool provider just after arguing that researchers would provide a check on its controversial plan to scan customer devices.

QuickTime Player Creates .mov Files Content:
reimertz:

Every time I do a screen recording, I have to go trough the hassle of converting the video to MP4 on my Apple computer.
Even my iPhone can export to MP4 so I there is no reason for it not to work on my computer.

In my experience, at least, recent versions of QuickTime Player name the file with .mov but use the H.264 format, so you can just rename the file with .mp4 without having to re-encode it.

PDF Expert vs PDFPen Pro vs PDFElement
Hi Guys,​So I've been doing a lot of research on the best PDF editor/viewer for me. My needs are to sign and fill forms, edit them, and also occasionally use OCR when needed.​I can see that PDF Expert doesn't have OCR capabilities whereas the other two do. As for user interfaces I really like PDF Expert. I'm basically stuck and not sure which to go with. I currently use Acrobat Pro but I will soon be cancelling my subscription as its just too expensive for me and so I want the best alternative to Acrobat Pro. Any thoughts or advice?​Thanks in advance :)
