Save $200+ on a 12″ MacBook with 512GB of storage

B&H Photo is running a sale on select 12" Macbook's with 512GB of storage. As you know, the base-model MacBooks only come with 256GB of storage, so these machines are a step up from the entry level versions of Apple's super-slim laptop.

Normally, you would expect to pay $1599 for the 12" MacBook with 512GB of storage, but B&H is selling the Space Grey model for $200 off. Best of all, if you live outside of New York, you can get the 12" MacBook for $1399 out the door with no tax.

iOS 9.2 jailbreak status: what we know so far

It's been more than 2 months since Apple killed the iOS 9.0.x jailbreak, and in that time we've seen the public release of iOS 9.1, 9.2, and a beta version of 9.2.1, with no update to the Pangu tool. So as you can imagine, we've received a lot of questions regarding the current status of the jailbreak. Here is what we know so far.

My favorite posts of 2015

2015 was a great year, and one in which I tried to venture outside of my comfort zone and take on some new and interesting projects and reports. It was also a year that saw a renewed focus on the Mac, particularly in the first half of the year. Overall, I'm very satisfied with some of the posts from the past year, and while this list doesn't necessarily include the most popular items, it contains some of my most memorable. Have a look and see if you agree.

iPhone 6c rumored to sport a larger battery, Touch ID and A9 chip with 2GB of RAM

According to a report Tuesday published by Chinese publication MyDrivers and relayed by Gadgetz Arena, Apple's rumored iPhone 6c will surprisingly run the in-house designed A9 system-on-a-chip that powers the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus and include two gigabytes of RAM for smooth multitasking—again, just like the current-generation iPhone models..

iPhone 7 rumored to be waterproof, hide the antenna bands

According to a new supply chain rumor out of Taiwan, Apple's 'iPhone 7' will be waterproof and feature a brand new antenna-concealing technology that will hide those unsightly antenna bands which iPhone 6/6s owners have been complaining about.

As reported this morning by Taiwanese trade publication DigiTimes, Apple's supplier Catcher Technologies will provide the iPhone 7 chassis which is said to be waterproof and use “new compound materials”.

Check out Snapdrop, a web-based clone of Apple’s AirDrop

The easiest way to share content between your Mac and an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad is AirDrop, a device-to-device wireless transfer technology built into the bowels of iOS and OS X. But when you want to transfer files between Apple devices and other platforms, AirDrop isn't very helpfu.

AirDrop, as you know, is limited to iOS and OS X and doesn't work on Android, Windows or other operating systems and computing platforms. Enter Snapdrop, an interesting web-based HTML5 clone of AirDrop by German developer Robin Linus.

Billed as the easiest way to transfer files across different devices, Snapdrop runs in a web browser and doesn't require you to install any special software. But does it work as advertised? Read on to find out.

Flash jailbreak tweak updated with improved Ambient Light Sensor level adjustments

Flash, the jailbreak tweak that uses the iPhone's Ambient Light Sensor to display a shortcut to the LED flash, has been updated with a new preference panel. The 2015 jailbreak tweak of the year nominee now incorporates one of the suggestions from our review, and the result is a much better tweak overall.

This is a tool that allows you access to a quick flashlight shortcut on the Lock screen while in a dark environment. With the previous version of the tweak, the shortcut would appear at the slightest hint of darkness. With the update, users now have the option of adjusting the Light Level, making the tweak much less sensitive, which helps to reduce false positives.

Sugr Cube review: the portable Wi-Fi speaker with gesture controls and good looks

The Sugr Cube ($229 on Amazon) is a portable wireless speaker with built in gesture controls. It features great design, with a stunning minimalistic wood exterior and a large power/volume knob on its rear. The Sugr Cube isn’t inundated with fiddly controls and buttons; in fact, the volume knob is the only moving part on the entire speaker.

The name of the device fits it well. Really, what’s more simple and sweet than a cube of sugar? This little device might be small and it might look unassuming, but there’s some interesting technology lurking beneath the surface, and some sweet sound ready to emanate from the tiny speaker housed inside of the wooden cube.
