A few days ago, we posted our Mac jailbreak tutorial for iOS 8.2 beta 1 and 2. That tutorial used the PP Jailbreak tool for the Mac. For Windows users, things are slightly different. Windows users get to use the TaiG tool. At the end of the day, both tools are geared towards the same goal—allowing you to easily jailbreak iOS 8.2 beta 1 and 2.
Chase Bank has provisioned over one million wallets with Apple Pay since the service launched in October 2014. As noted by AppleInsider, the company made the announcement during an investors conference call on Tuesday.
"We continue to see good growth in the number of consumers that are provisioning Chase cards in their Apple Pay wallet," said Chase's Eileen Serra. "And as more merchants adopt, I would expect to see more traction here, as well."
If you've been trying to jailbreak iOS 8.2 beta 1 or 2 with TaiG 1.3.0 over the last couple of days, you may have encountered an issue. An error that says: "Can't find Apple driver, please download and install iTunes" has been causing all sorts of problems for would be jailbreakers.
iTunes may indeed already be installed, but it's the latest version of iTunes for 64-bit Windows machines that's causing the error to begin with. Perhaps you've tried to downgrade your copy of iTunes unsuccessfully. Or maybe you've just given up on trying to jailbreak your iPhone on a Windows machine. Well, don't give up just yet, because we have a solution inside.

Although I've long admired the iPad-centric work ethic of individuals like MacStories' Federico Viticci, I could never fully commit to working from my iPad due to the perceived amount of steps needed to get things done. Yes, it's possible, but I've always thought it was easier to work from my MacBook Pro.
With that said, I certainly admire anyone who can successfully pull it off, as Viticci has obviously done. There's even a slight bit of jealousy there because he's figured out well in advance how not to be ball-and-chained to a traditional desktop.
With iOS 8, a lot of that has changed. iOS is now more open than ever and users can do some powerful things with said openness. Case and point: Workflow—the automation app that opens up the door to automation newbs like myself. Yes, much automation could be done prior to Workflow—apps like Pythonista and Editorial proved as much—but Workflow is venturing into brand new territory. Not only is it arguably the most powerful automation tool available for iOS, it makes implementing automation accessible to mere mortals.
In this post, I'd like to show off one of the workflows that I'm extremely proud of. To be honest, this post is sort of a stealth-brag, but that's okay. When you see this workflow in action, you'll understand why.
Today, social networking behemoth Facebook issued a small yet important update to its mobile messaging software for the iPhone and iPad. Facebook Messenger version 22 is now available in the App Store and with it comes a much appreciated and long overdue iOS 8 extension.
With it, you can at last send pieces of content to Messenger without leaving other apps. Using iOS 8's standard Share sheet, it's simple to share photos, videos and links directly with Messenger contacts, without leaving context of the app you're currently using.
Aside from the starting price of $349 for the Sport model, the Cupertino firm has yet to reveal pricing of its higher-end Watch and Edition models.
There are two schools of thought here. One says that Apple Watch Edition should sell for $10,000 a pop or more, not just due to its casing being made form 18-karat gold but because Apple will pitch it as a piece of fashionable jewelry rather than a technology product.
The opposite argument says the Edition model should sell for far less as it's not an actual mechanical precision watch from Swiss watchmakers, so it would be crazy to price it as one.
Which camp do you belong to and how much should the Apple Watch Edition realistically cost, do you think? Cast your vote after the jump and meet us in comments.

CEO Tim Cook took to Twitter today to commemorate what would have been the sixtieth birthday of Apple's late co-founder and mercurial chief executive, Steve Jobs.
Honoring the memory of his friend and mentor, Cook tweeted out a quote from Jobs' emotional commencement address at Stanford University in 2005, in which he said “the only way to do great work is to love what you do.”
As expected, Pebble Technology on Tuesday took the wraps off its next-generation smartwatch. It's called Pebble Time and the biggest news about it is its brand new e-paper color screen, a stark change from the monochromatic e-paper screen of the original Pebble.
The device is also thinner than the previous models, has an on-board microphone, runs a redesigned Timeline interface while offering a few other goodies.
In addition to landing a contract to build Apple's next-generation A9 mobile processor for 2015 iPhones and iPads, Samsung is said to be supplying the Cupertino firm with its advanced DRAM memory chips to be used in next-generation iPhones, as well as LG's upcoming G4 flagship handset.
The South Korean firm files as the world's biggest memory chip supplier. According to a report Tuesday by The Korea Times citing two people familiar with the deal, the contract is estimated to be worth billions of dollars and last at least for a year.
