November 1, 2010 No Comment
Apple legal has been abnormally busy over the last year as it engaged a who’s who of cellphone makers and government agencies. They’ve also come down hard on Sanho Corporation’s HyperMac subsidiary for using MagSafe and iPod connectors without approval. In response, HyperMac announced that it would stop selling MagSafe cables thereby rendering its HyperMac lineup useless for charging the non-removable batteries in Apple’s MacBook, MacBook Air, and MacBook Pro (although they can still charge USB connected devices like the iPad and iPhone). Now Daniel Chin, President of Sanho Corporation, is informing us that they’ll be changing the HyperMac name to “HyperJuice” as part of its ongoing “comprehensive licensing negotiations” with Apple said to cover a “wide array of technologies and issues.” He also reminded us that you only have a few hours left to snag a HyperMac with the all important MagSafe cable as sales will be suspended as of midnight tonight — 00:00 US Pacific Time. Hey, with few alternatives, you might as well go down swinging selling.

November 1, 2010 No Comment
If you’re a home theater or home automation buff then you’re certainly familiar with Philips’ Pronto lineup of remote controls. Unfortunately, Philips has decided to discontinue its Pronto business after failing to find a buyer. Here’s the official quote: “In December 2009, Philips announced the intention to relocate some of its existing remote control activities in Leuven, Belgium to Asia. At the same time, the intention was communicated to investigate alternative strategic options for the Pronto business, as this activity no longer fits with the Philips strategy. Following thorough research, no suitable partner was found for the acquisition of these activities. As such, Philips confirms today that it will discontinue the Pronto product line and related activities.” Logitech , the playing field is all yours.

Twitter is alight with reports of recurring iPhone alarms going off an hour later than usual. So even though the iOS clock changed correctly over the weekend, the alarm is still locked to Daylight Savings Time. Thing is, according to a ZDNet Australia report from more than three weeks ago, Apple acknowledged the bug with a promise to fix it with a software update. So why wasn’t it rolled out in time to avoid this mess in Europe? Let’s see if Apple fixes it when North America makes the switch on November 7th.
