From AppleInsider:  Sometimes even the most loyal Apple customer has good reason to be grumpy.  Take European iPhone users.  As the website reports, many woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning. “A still-unfixed bug with Apple’s iPhone caused alarms in Europe to go off an hour late Monday as the continent switched from daylight saving time, but their phone’s alarms did not,” it says. No word if Steve Jobs is writing any late notes.

From AppleInsider: Big Mac and Mac the Knife may be safe, but Apple is on the lookout for any other attempts to sponge off its brand.  HyperMac accessories will be renamed HyperJuice as part of “our ongoing comprehensive licensing negotiations with Apple regarding a wide array of technologies and issues,” Daniel Chin, president of Sanho Corporation, said is quoted by the site as saying in a press release.    Apple filed suit against Sanho in September alleging patent violations.

From TUAW: The iPhone is the top-selling smartphone and Android is the best-selling operating system, tech researcher Canalys.   “The group found that Apple’s iPhone U.S. market share has jumped 26.2 percent since last quarter, making it the most popular smartphone (as far as hardware) in the U.S. In fact, it’s a complete turnaround, as BlackBerries beat iPhones 32 to 21.7 percent last quarter,” the site says.  The fact that Android kept its top ranking was no surprise.
