We've conducted extensive tests here at iDB, and we have come to the cat-egorical (see what we did there?) conclusion that there is nothing more awesome on this planet than cats. Ceiling cat, keyboard cat, the list goes on.
Now we can add Fruit Ninja cat to the growing list of fantastic felines, after a video surfaced of one such feline showing that fruit just who the boss really is.
Just watch this video, we dare, nay double-dare you to not raise a smile. Perhaps even giggle a tad...
At iDB, we don't just pass along the Apple rumors; we also try to follow them on their road to either truth or debunking. And in the case of the recent Digitimes' iPad 3 report, that journey took less than 24 hours.
Yesterday we told you about Digitimes' latest claim that Apple would unveil two new iPad models at the Macworld (now iWorld) conference in January. But today, Jim Dalrymple of The Loop has effectively put that rumor to bed.
Jay Freeman (known as saurik) has pushed an update for MobileSubstrate that addresses the crashing of jailbreak tweaks from Cydia on the iOS 5.0.1 untether. Coincidentally, RedSn0w was updated this morning with a fix for MobileSubstrate crash errors as well.
Users that are jailbroken on iOS 5.0.1 can install version 0.9.3955 of MobileSubstrate now in Cydia to fix tweak crashes. Another huge perk is that MobileSubstrate no longer requires that you reboot iOS every time you install or upgrade the package.
Want to travel across the globe without leaving the confines of your humble abode? If so, then look no further than LocationHolic, a location-spoofing jailbreak tweak for the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.
LocationHolic works by essentially overriding your device's location data with a location of your choosing. Choosing the location is as simple as searching or even placing a pin on a map. It really doesn't get any simpler than LocationHolic, as you'll see in our video walkthrough...
iOS is growing to be a major player in the gaming space. When you are selling as many iPhones and iPads as Apple is, not to mention iPod touches, then it is almost an inevitability that your own App Store is going to become a mecca for all manner of games.
With its touch-based interface and huge screen, the iPad in particular has become something of a giant in the mobile gaming world, but the same touch screen that is is biggest strength can also be its biggest weakness. That's why this new accessory really caught our eye.
Coming from accessory company 60beat, this new controller gives gamers a more familiar way of controlling their games. If iOS gaming is to truly take over, then there needs to be a natural way to play traditional games, and that natural way involves a couple of thumbsticks and some hardware buttons.
Those of you who have used the untethered jailbreak for iOS 5.0.1 might have encountered an issue where iBooks crashes every time you try to launch the application.
This problem isn't new. Apple introduced this awhile back as a way to fight jailbreaking. Fortunately, we already have a fix for it. It's quick, simple, and it should solve all your issues with iBooks...
The Notes app is a great app for saving quick items that you need to get back to later, but often it's easy to forget that you wrote anything down in the first place.
With SBStickyNotes, forgetting just became a tad more difficult. That's because this tweak allows you to save favorite notes to you Home screen as a bookmark.
We've gone hands-on with SBStickyNotes on video; check inside to view the full walkthrough...
It’s that time of the week! We frequently comb the far reaches of the App Store to bring you awesome apps for your downloading pleasure.
This week, we’ve got a tool for tracking your online presence, a little holiday cheer, and a SNES classic game. We hope you enjoy this week’s picks!
The Dev Team has released beta 3 of RedSn0w for the Mac and PC to fix an error that caused MobileSubstrate to sometimes crash on jailbroken iOS devices. This specific error only seemed to crash MobileSubstrate when the latest iOS 5.0.1 untether in RedSn0w was run over an existing jailbreak.
The market for iOS-controlled vehicles has become rather crowded over the last 12 months. We've seen everything from robots to helicopters and everything in between. But most of these remote control devices are usually too pricey to go mainstream.
Griffin's Helo TC breaks that mold by being one of the first iOS RC vehicles under $50. And although it has been available for a few months now, I just recently got my hands on one.
Yesterday we told you about chpwn's new jailbreak tweak entitled Zephyr. It's a tweak that can easily enable iPad-esque multitasking gestures on all iOS devices running iOS 5.
Inside, we personally demo how easy it is to get multitasking gestures on iOS 5. It's as simple as jailbreaking your device, and installing chpwn's excellent tweak. You don't want to miss this...
Every year the Electronic Frontier Foundation releases its "wish list," a list that points out the flaws the EFF sees in tech companies and their openness. This year has seen Apple only appear in that list once, and in a particularly predictable manner.
The EFF, according to its list, would like Apple to allow users to easily gain root access to their devices, giving them complete control over how they work as well as offering a way to install apps without going through Apple's App Store.
Unsurprisingly Apple is not so keen on taking that approach, though there are ways to get root access should you really want to...
