How to convert a Keynote document to a PowerPoint document

All Mac and iOS devices such as iPhone and iPad come  with a suite of office applications pre-installed. This includes Keynote, a presentation software app very similar to PowerPoint, its Microsoft counterpart.

Keynote presentations can easily be viewed on any Apple hardware, but as an application exclusive to Apple platforms, there can be compatibility issues when wanting to share a Keynote document with a Windows user. To avoid these compatibility issues between Mac and Windows, one can save Keynote documents created on Mac as PowerPoint documents that will easily be viewable on Windows.

Specbreak circumvents jailbreak detection in the Spectrum TV app

If you try to load the Spectrum TV app on your jailbroken device, you won’t have much luck. Just like a handful of other apps from the App Store, Spectrum TV performs a jailbreak check before loading to see if your device has been tampered with in any way. If it comes back positive, then the app displays the screen you see above.

As bothersome as these jailbreak checks can be, talented developers almost always find ways around them, and a new free jailbreak tweak called Specbreak by iOS developer Tatsh happens to fall into that category.

One of the latest releases is NotificationsHeaderCustomText by iOS developer CydiaGeek, and as the name implies, this tweak lets you customize Notification Center's header text string, as shown above.

Apple relaxes its controversial guidelines for template-based apps, waives dev fees for governments and nonprofits starting next year

Apple took a stance recently against cookie-cutter style apps by outright banning them from the App Store. These template-based apps were often used as ways to clone low-quality apps (any remember the onslaught of Flappy Bird lookalikes?) Unfortunately, they were also often used by small business, nonprofits, or government organizations who didn't have the resources to develop their own apps from scratch.
