Surprise Surprise. Not even 12 hours after Apple released the third beta for iOS 5.1, known firmware hacker Sonny Dickinson has already uncovered some interesting information.
Apparently the latest iOS update contains evidence that Apple is working on an iPad-compatible version of Siri, Apple's popular digital assistant. Dickinson uncovered the reference after loading iOS 5.1 beta 3 onto his iPad 2...
2011 wasn't a bad year for Apple newly appointed CEO Tim Cook, who made almost $378 million:
According to Apple’s 2012 Proxy Statement, Cook received a jaw dropping $377,996, 537 million in total compensation last year — which is $377,996,536 than his late predecessor made.
Cook made a little over $900,000 in salary in 2011, but a massive bonus in restricted stock units vesting in two five-year increments and doled out with his appointment to the CEO slot, sent his total compensation into the stratosphere.
Last night, during its CES keynote, Taiwan-based manufacturer Acer announced that it was getting into the cloud business. Dubbed AcerCloud, the service will allow users to keep content synced between their phones, tablets and computers.
Now, we're not trying to jump to any conclusions here. But there's something about the service that looks awfully familiar. We can't quite put our finger on it, but it seems like we've seen this service and, come to think of it, these slides before...
Steve Jobs announced the original iPhone five years ago on January 9th at Macworld. He famously said, "Today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone." He was right.
In a post-iPhone world, it may be difficult for most of us to remember what the industry looked like before Apple's announcement at Macworld in 2007. The iPhone has profoundly impacted not only the mobile phone market, but the device has also led to other redefining products, like the iPad.
Blutrol is a recently released jailbreak app that allows you to map your iCade control cabinent to pretty much any game that features on screen controls. That means that the iCade is no longer limited to a handful of so-so games, which makes the device a lot more useful and appealing to gamers.
Basically, Blutrol transforms your iCade from a mere conversation piece, into a legitimate gaming machine. All you need is a jailbroken iPad, and you're good to go...
Earlier this morning, Apple seeded iOS 5.1 beta 3 to developers. At a glance, the update looked like your typical bug fix and maintenance release. But folks have already uncovered a new feature.
It's not exactly new. iOS has long since had the ability to toggle 3G data on and off. However it has been absent in recent software releases, and now it looks like beta 3 has brought it back...
Back in October of last year, TechCrunch writer MG Siegler wrote an article entitled "If You Sold Your Apple Stock Today, You're an Idiot." The post was in response to Apple's stock price dropping more than 23 points in 8 hours.
The crash was likely the culmination of Steve Jobs' recent passing, initial reaction/disappointment to the iPhone 4S, and the fact that Apple missed The Street's sales projections for their Q3 of 2011. But the negativity didn't last long...
Finally, after nearly a month of silence, Apple has seeded the 3rd beta of iOS 5.1 to developers. As you may recall, the company pushed out beta 2 all the way back on December 12th of last year.
As several other sites are noting, the update only seems to be available via OTA (over-the-air) for previous iOS 5.1 users, but it should be available from Apple's regular developer portal shortly...
A couple of week ago we told you about six great jailbreak tweaks for Safari. Today, we're showcasing five additional tweaks that can help supercharge your iPhone's email experience.
Jailbreaking is a great way to get more out of your iOS device, and as you'll see, one of the best ways to leverage jailbreaking is by applying its benefits to core functions, like email...
Adding individual music controls to your Home screen in the form of app icons is nothing new in the world of jailbreaking. But SpringPod brings a slightly different approach, and few more customization options to the table than previous tweaks.
Along with play/pause controls, SpringPod brings previous, next, rewind, fast forward, and volume functions directly to your iPhone's Springboard. But is it worth the $0.99 asking price?
Recludo is a jailbreak tweak that's a bit hard to describe, but simple in function. Its purpose is to force your iPhone straight to the Music app whenever the lock screen music controls are invoked and you unlock your iPhone.
Since there's a good chance that you will want to use your Music app when the music controls are being used anyway, Recludo can usher in a seamless music listening experience to jailbroken iPhones...
