Top startup investor Fred Wilson says the Apple Watch will be a flop

Fred Wilson, a prominent startup investor and partner of Union Square Ventures, has posted a series of predictions for 2015 and his forecast isn't looking too good for Apple's first new product category in years.

Wilson, who has put money in Twitter, Zynga, and other large companies in their early stages, doesn't think the Apple Watch will be able to live up to Apple devices before it like the iPhone and iPad, both of which reshaped the consumer electronics industry.

How to get ReachApp’s split-screen multitasking on your iPhone right now

ReachApp is a groundbreaking new jailbreak tweak for iPhones and iPads that we covered earlier. Unfortunately, it's not available on the default Cydia repos like ModMyi or BigBoss, so it wasn't eligible for our 2014 tweak of the year awards. Despite that, ReachApp is definitely one of the best tweaks that I've used this year, and certainly one of the most practical depending on how you use your device. Although it's not available on the default Cydia repos, you can get the beta version on your iOS device right now.

Confero: tidy up the Home screen by hiding app badges

Confero is a brand new jailbreak tweak that helps you to clean up the iPhone's SpringBoard by eliminating (or at least lessening) the red notification badges. Many find such badges, which sit in the upper right-hand corner of an app with pending notifications, to be an eyesore. Confero is a viable solution for getting rid of said badges.

Apple faces class-action lawsuit over how much storage iOS 8 takes up

"The biggest iOS release ever."

SiliconBeat reports Apple has been hit with a class-action lawsuit alleging it doesn't inform its customers how much storage iOS 8 takes up on their device, and then asks them to buy more space on iCloud.

The case was filed in a San Francisco Bay federal court on Tuesday, claiming iOS 8 can take up to 23.1 percent of storage on the iPhone 5s and 23.1 percent on an iPod. It says Apple isn't truly representing the storage available on its devices.
