Have you ever wondered what files a specific jailbreak tweak places on your device? Have you ever wondered where the files are stored?
If so, you could always fire up iFile or use an FTP utility to go digging around in your file system. Or, you could just head to Cydia and utilize a provision that's available for every package you have installed on your device...
Let's just chalk TerminalActivator into the "I do it just because I can" category.
TerminalActivator, as its name might suggest, allows you to execute Activator actions via a terminal emulator.
It works well, but the developer is obviously targeting a very small audience. Full video demonstration inside...
Jepit is a jailbreak tweak that attempts to add new app switching animations to your iDevice.
Along with animations, Jepit also includes the ability to change the speed of said animations.
Sadly, its lack of polish hinders what could otherwise be an eye catching tweak. Take a look as we go one-on-one with Jepit inside...
Last month, we told you about the danger of jailbreaking becoming a "legal violation" again this year. Two years ago, the US government ruled that the act of jailbreaking was legal. But that ruling could expire this year if it isn't renewed.
Leading the fight to keep jailbreaking legal is the EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation). And Gizmodo recently had a chance to sit down and talk with one of the foundation's staff lawyers, Mitch Stolz, about the whole matter...
Have you ever shot a video on your iPhone then uploaded it to your computer just so you could grab a few screenshots from the video? Well, it's now safe to say there's an app for that, and it is called QuickPix.
QuickPix allows you to snap photos while capturing video. The photos are sent directly to your camera roll for easy access. But that's not all...
Over half of the US population is expected to be in front of a TV set today watching the Super Bowl. But for those of you that for one reason or another can't get in front of a television this afternoon, there's other ways to catch the game.
If you happen to have access to a computer, you can watch it there. The game will be streamed live via NBCSports.com and NFL.com. No computer access? That's ok, we've come up with a few ways to follow all of the action on your iPhone...
The ability to split up the iPad's keyboard is one of my favorite lesser-known features in iOS. I don't use it all the time. But it really comes in handy when I need to rattle off an email or conjure up other large bodies of text.
Apple obviously put a lot of thought into getting the split keyboard just the right size for its tablet, and it shows. In fact, there are even some elements of the keyboard that you can't see. Did you know there are hidden keys on the iPad split keyboard?
If this isn't pure luck, then I don't know what it is.
Reddit user djrjr is a frequent shopper at his local Goodwill store. A few days ago, as he was browsing the store, he came across a brand new 32GB iPad 2 wifi in the box, selling for $65.
Confused about such a low price, he asked the manager to make sure everything was correct. The manager confirmed that this brand new iPad was indeed selling for the bargain price of $65...
This Sunday, much of the United States will shut down as millions of people tune into this year's Super Bowl. The annual event, which determines who is the best of the best in the NFL, is one of the most-watched TV broadcasts in America.
And for those of you lucky enough to be attending the game in person (ticket prices average around $3800), or if you just want to see what all of the fuss is about, the NFL just released the official Super Bowl app for iOS...
Apple has received some slack of late over the perceived conditions of the Chinese workers who build its hugely popular products. With the eyes of the world currently firmly fixed on the likes of Foxconn, people are beginning to look more closely at the real cost of building our iPhones and iPads.
An online petition, set up to urge Apple to protect its Chinese workers has received 162,000 signatures in just over a week, with the number continuing to grow.
Allegations of unsafe working conditions and long hours have been rife of late, with Apple's main manufacturing partner, Foxconn, at the center of the issue...
A few months after Apple released iOS 5 to the public last year, a major bug was found in the software's new iMessage application. Several users reported that their iMessage accounts continued to remain active after wiping their devices.
Gizmodo added fuel to the fire yesterday when it published several images of strange iMessage conversations it was receiving on an iPhone after visiting an Apple Store for tech support. Apparently, when a Genius inserted his personal SIM card into the phone to test the device, the handset locked on to his iMessage account...
If you wished for another iPad 3 launch rumor when you woke up this morning, then you're in for a stroke of luck.
According to the oft-accurate Japanese blog Macotakara, Apple will announce the third generation iPad at an event due to be held in March, with a release date to come after that announcement.
The news comes after Macotakara had previously claimed that the event would take place in February, but the blog now says that there will be two events, with the one in February being described as "strange" by the site...
