The Dev Team has recently updated their renowned RedSn0w jailbreak tool to version 0.9.10b5 in order to fix the DRM issue for iBooks on jailbroken devices.

Apple has spent an estimated $100 million dollars on its so-called "war on Android." And so far it doesn't have much to show for it. Even its recent ITC court victory over HTC doesn't look like it will have much of an impact on anything.

The company remembers Jobs throughout the halls of its 1 Infinite Loop campus, with photos of the man who saved Apple back in the 90s placed on the walls of Apple's HQ. Quotes are also seen attached to corridor walls, with some of Jobs' famous pearls of wisdom there to help motivate the Apple team even from beyond the grave.
Now 9to5 Mac has been given photographs of some of the photos and quotes that can be found inside Apple's offices, with at least one of them taking employees back to the days of the original Macintosh...

There are some jailbreak utilities that are considered to be more or less essential. In fact, Sebastien wrote a post this morning detailing his top 10 must-have tweaks. Then there are others that don't really serve much of a purpose.
