One of the things that I appreciate about Windows is the ability to view previews of running apps by hovering your mouse cursor over an app in the Taskbar. OS X doesn't natively allow you to do such a thing, but it's nothing that HyperDock—a $9.99 purchase from the Mac App Store—can't handle.
As most of you guys know, I've been a so-called "cord cutter" for going on three years now, and I haven't looked back. Cord cutting has lots of pluses, but one of the big downsides to doing so is the lack of live content—namely sports.
As someone who loves watching sports, Dish Network's Sling TV, which just officially launched in the US today, provides me with ESPN, ESPN 2, and a whole host of additional live sports content is very appealing to me. In this post, I'll breakdown some of the pluses and minuses about Sling TV, and let you know if it's worth trying at this early stage in its life.
In the previous podcast basics post, we talked about some of the preliminary steps that need to be taken before proceeding with creating a podcast. Those steps involved finding the right subject, format, hosts, etc.
Now that you have a good idea about the subject you'd like to podcast about, the show format, the co-hosts, and the scheduling, it's time to start thinking about your podcast hardware. I like to include location as a part of the hardware, because the location where you record your podcasts can play a huge role in how the end product sounds.
In this post, I'll talk about what hardware I use for podcasting, along with other general recommendations on hardware. If you're still mulling about the subject, or co-hosts, then I urge you to read part I of this series; it covers the stuff you should consider before even getting started.
Reachability has been all of the rage for jailbreak app developers as of late, and why not? It's one of the big features for the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, and it's an obvious area that can be exploited to provided extra functionality. ReachApp—a tweak that's still in beta—is a good example of a tweak that takes good advantage of Reachability, and now another upcoming jailbreak tweak is in the works that will breathe new life into Reachability as well.
WidgetCenter is an upcoming release that allows users to access widgets directly from Reachability view. This dynamically adjusting tweak provides impressive functionality, animations, and loads of future potential expandability. Developer Mitch Treece has provided iDownloadBlog with a first look at his upcoming creation, and of course, we've created a hands-on video to show it off to you.
Making anonymous phone calls that lack Caller ID credentials has always been possible. In fact, many countries have their own specific prefix codes in order to block your phone number from being displayed on a recipient's Caller ID. For the US, that code is *67, but in iOS, there is no easy way to add the prefix to a contact that you wish to call. Call Enhancer is a jailbreak tweak that makes anonymous calling much easier on iOS, and it brings with it one additional key benefit.
NCBrowser 8 is a jailbreak tweak that allows you to browse the web via Notification Center in iOS. The most obvious benefit to being able to do this is that the web is now instantly accessible from any app courtesy of the Notification Center pull-down interface. In a nutshell, NCBrowser 8 provides you with pseudo-multitasking ability between an app and the web browser in Notification Center, and it can be customized to your liking via the tweak's preferences.

ReachApp continues to impress by bringing a true side-by-side multitasking experience to iOS. Although there's no indication as to when the tweak will leave beta, it's been receiving steady updates over the last few weeks, and continues to improve stability-wise and functionality-wise.
ReachApp is definitely shaping up to be firmly in the running for jailbreak tweak of 2015. Check out some of the details from the last few updates and see why.
If you're looking to simplify the look of Notification Center, then SimpleNC is probably up to the task. It is a tweak that features tons of switches, which allows you to disable specific Notification Center assets individually. The wonderful thing about SimpleNC is that it gives the user choice. You can go the subtle route, and only simplify bits and pieces of Notification Center, or you can go to extremes, and give it a makeover that you won't soon forget.
