iPhone Game ‘Death Worm’ Makes You Feel Like Bait

by Michael on Jan 21, 2011

Death Worm [iTunes Link] was created by PlayCreek and is perfect for gamers with those midnight munchies for delectable human corpses. A couple months ago I reviewed Super Mega Worm and had so much fun with it that I decided to give Death Worm a round, or in my case many rounds!

Just like Super Mega Worm, you control a worm with only one purpose, to eat or destroy anything that moves.

This game packs a full course meal! First as an appetizer, we have animals such as birds, elephants and more.  Next for your entree you can choose between mindless pedestrians or police officers. Too light? How about Bazooka carrying Soldiers. Also as a side dish you can devour cars, trucks and other land vehicles. Finally for desert, we have a few different helicopters, planes or the ultimate surprise… UFO’s!! Still hungry? Well you can choose between 3 different locations! Read More

 

Fake Ra1nb0wRa1n iPhone Jailbreak Website Deemed Not the Real Deal

by Jeff Benjamin on Jan 20, 2011

Getting confused from all of the Ra1n? There’s BlackRa1n, LimeRa1n, PurpleRa1n, and the upcoming RubyRa1n. It’s enough to confuse even the best meteorologist.

To add to the level of confusion, someone(s) impersonating renowed iPhone hacker GeoHot has released a site called Ra1nb0wRa1n with little to no fan fare.

The fact that it received hardly any pub before going live was the first thing that struck us as weird. The fact that the site is actually pointing to a Chinese website, is the real thing that sent up our red flags.

For the record, although the site’s whois records feature Hotz’s name and a New Jersey residence, Ra1nb0wRa1n does not appear to be associated with GeoHot in any way, shape, or form…

iFixit Begins Offering ‘iPhone 4 Liberation Kit’ to Tackle Apple’s Pesky Proprietary Screws

by Jeff Benjamin on Jan 20, 2011

It’s clear that Apple doesn’t want folks fooling around with their iPhone’s physical hardware, as the recently dubbed ‘Pentalobular’ screws that may rest on the bottom of your iPhone 4 prove.

Recently, Apple has switched over to an all-new screw set for the iPhone 4, similar to the screws that grace the battery covers of the older MacBook Pros, and current MacBook Air.

If you’ve owned an iPhone 4 for quite some time, then chances are you still have the normal Phillips screw set, but if you’ve just stepped into the game, you might want to give this a read…

New iOS 4.3 Features Uncovered, Apple Focusing on Social Media

by Jeff Benjamin on Jan 20, 2011

The new features found in the latest beta version of iOS 4.3 keep trickling out as expected, and it’s looking more and more like Apple wants to further establish itself in the social media circle.

For instance, the often mocked ‘Ping‘ — Apple’s music and social networking mashup — is now reported to send users push notifications when they receive news and alerts. But that’s not all of the goodies that Apple has tucked away in their latest firmware version…

Internally Leaked Screenshots Confirming Multitouch Gestures in iOS 4.3

by Alex Heath on Jan 20, 2011

It looks as though the iPad won’t be the only one to get the new multitouch gestures unearthed in the iOS 4.3 beta. Boy Genius has released some iPhone screenshots that are claimed to come from internal testing at Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino.

We recently reported on the rumor that the next major version of the iPhone would have no home button. Instead, it was supposed that iOS would use multitouch gestures (two, three, four fingers, etc.) to replace the functionality of the home button.

This new report seems to support the theory of no home button on the iPhone 5. Apparently, Apple has been testing multitouch gestures on the iPhone (there is nothing to clarify if the screenshots are associated with new hardware) internally for quite some time…

by Nick on Jan 20, 2011

by Jeff Benjamin on Jan 20, 2011

If you’ve been following the jailbreak tweak scene as of late, then you know that ‘TV Tube Sleep‘ is one of the more beloved tweaks to come along in quite some time. Now, the same developer behind that popular tweak is seeking to outdo their last effort with an unofficial ‘tweakquel.’

But is SleepFX worth it if you’ve already taken the plunge with TV Tube Sleep? Check out our full video inside…

Current Verizon Customers Should Be Eligible for a $200 Credit Towards the iPhone 4

by Alex Heath on Jan 20, 2011

Good news for current Verizon customers: the latest U.S. iPhone carrier has posted its FAQ on the iPhone 4, and it turns out that a $200 credit will be given towards an iPhone upgrade. However, not everyone will qualify for this credit.

If you purchased a new smartphone from Verizon Wireless between November 26, 2010 and January 10, 2011, you should be eligible for a $200 credit towards an iPhone 4 upgrade. This credit should be available as long as your purchase the iPhone on Verizon before February 28.

Verizon’s FAQ has some interesting answers for current (and potential) customers who might want to use their available upgrade on the iPhone 4…

New ‘Manage Account’ Option Shows Up in Cydia

by Jeff Benjamin on Jan 19, 2011

When it comes to polish, there simply is no comparison between Apple’s official App Store, and Cydia, the store used by those in the jailbreak community. The lack of polish is something that Cydia’s creator, Saurik, is aiming to address in 2011, and this latest update gives us a nice preview of what’s coming.

Placed smack in the middle of Cydia’s homepage is a new ‘Manage Account’ option. From here you can log into your Cydia User Account, which is basically a means to authenticate purchases, not an actual account for login. The account can either be a Facebook or Google account linked to your past Cydia purchases.

At the moment there’s not many options contained in the new section, but it does contain a handy list of all of your Installable Purchases. This feature will make it a lot easier to re-install all of your favorite jailbreak apps after a restore…
