OS X Daily reminds us of a helpful tip for displaying push notifications in the iOS 5 Notification Center. By default, iOS 5 displays notifications manually, meaning that they are organized by their associated apps.
For those of us that get tons of notifications throughout the day, it can be better to have things sorted by time of arrival. Changing this setting is actually dead simple. Read More

The relationship between Apple and the jailbreak community has always been an interesting one. Ever since the first, public iPhone jailbreak was displayed in 2007, Apple and jailbreakers have been fighting in a secret, underground war. Fast forward to 2011, and you can do a lot more with a jailbroken iPhone than just add custom ringtones.
On Monday, Apple unveiled iOS 5. Version 5 was called Apple’s most “revolutionary” iOS release to date. Oddly enough, many features that have been in the jailbreak community for years are now present in iOS 5.

Apple, you owe the jailbreak community an apology. Read More
In the months leading up to Apple’s WWDC event, push notifications seemed to be at the top of every iPhone user’s wish lists for features to get revamped in iOS 5. In the last few weeks, we’ve seen a lot of evidence that Apple was looking to do just that.

This time, it appears that TechCrunch may have got its hands on what looks to be a new system of notifications in iOS 5. You should be very skeptical of this picture, but it still makes for fun speculation… Read More
Peter Hajas, the lead developer of the popular jailbreak notifications replacement, MobileNotifier, is now an Apple “iOS Apps and Frameworks” employee. We originally speculated that Hajas was working for Apple when he announced that he was leaving as the head of the MobileNotifier development team, and it has now been confirmed that Apple has hired Peter Hajas to work on iOS.
iOS 5 will be unveiled at WWDC on Monday, and Apple could introduce a new system of push notifications. It’s unlikely that any of Peter’s work will be seen in iOS 5. He is most likely working on a future update to Apple’s mobile software… Read More
