Watch part 2 of the Dream Team’s HITB talk

Yesterday, we showed you part one of the Dream Team's talk at this year's Hack In The Box conference. The section covered the exploits that were used in Corona, and other A4 jailbreak details.

Part two of the talk went live today, and in our opinion it's much more interesting. In it, the Team discusses the A5 jailbreak, and throws in a nice little 'one more thing' announcement at the end...

How to add the iOS 6 Twitter Widget to iOS 5

Now that iOS 6 has official built-in widgets for both Twitter and Facebook updates, wouldn't it be nice to be able to replicate those same widgets on iOS 5? Apparently that's the same thought the developer of iOS 6 Twitter Widget had when creating his tweak.

Popular kids show Reading Rainbow resurrected in new iPad app

You'd be hard-pressed to find someone over the age of 15 that hasn't at least heard of Reading Rainbow. The PBS series nabbed over 200 awards in its epic 23 year-long television run.

On iPad not being for working and learning

Notebook vendors are clinging their hope to a fall launch of Windows 8 and Intel's Ivy Bridge chips, thinking it'll help reinvigorate interest in notebooks. Now, notebooks and portables in general have seen modest, single-digit growth in the past two years because a portion of the consumers' budget has been absorbed due to iPad demand. So, what gives?

WiFi Surface could cost nearly as much as 4G iPad

Industry sources asserted that Microsoft's Surface tablet will initially be offered only in WiFi version, even though analysts opine that its lack of cellular connectivity won't be seen as a major limitation.

What could, however, likely be perceived as problematic is the Surface's asking prices, allegedly set at $599. This would put the WiFi-only Surface just thirty bucks shy of Apple's 16GB 4G iPad 3...
