‘ShowFlash’ initiates a fake screenshot when certain actions take place

by Jeff Benjamin on Apr 9, 2012

If the YouTube comments from our ShowFlash video is any indication, by and large ShowFlash is a worthless tweak.

Fortunately I don’t look at comments to judge what I absolutely should or shouldn’t try.

Granted, as far as usability goes, ShowFlash is fairly devoid of any worthwhile usefulness, but that doesn’t mean you should absolutely avoid it, does it? Read More

Apple Owes the Jailbreak Community an Apology

by Alex Heath on Jun 10, 2011

The relationship between Apple and the jailbreak community has always been an interesting one.
