Well well well, the whole Apple Vs. Samsung legal debacle just took a turn for the down right strange.

On Friday, Peter Hajas, the author of the well-known MobileNotifier iOS tweak, unexpectedly announced on his blog that he's "taking a break". Yet, many are speculating that there might be other reasons behind his sudden departure.
