Remember when kids used to sit and play with plastic toys and run around outside? Me neither. It seems that these days, the joys of hacking are too strong a pull for our little ones.
CNET highlights a 10-year old hacker, going by the name of CyFi, who has presented an exploit to the "Kids" section of the popular hacking conference, DefCon. The exploit, which currently works on both iOS and Android, allows certain games to be prematurely advanced by simply altering the device's clock...
In a recent tweet by iH8sn0w, he has stated that iOS 5 Beta 5 will expire on September 14, 2011. This means that if you use your iDevice past that date and time, it will lock up, forcing you to restore to the GM or final version of iOS 5 (depending on when the final version is released). If haven't heard already, iOS 5 Beta 5 was released today with some new features.
Every week iDownloadblog brings a roundup of awesome apps for you to check out and enjoy. We try to vary our picks, but a lot of these apps usually come from the App Store. If an interesting web or jailbreak app catches our eye, we’ll include that in our picks as well.
This week, we’ve got three pretty unusual apps from the App Store...
It's back to school time I'm afraid, but there is one every so slight plus to this time of year, and that's sales. We all like sales, don't we?
The guys over at Electronic Arts certainly do, and their EA 'Back to School' sale is underway, with games receiving up to 80% reductions in price.
Huge titles such as FIFA 11, Madden NFL 11 and Recklesss Racing HD are all included in the sale of iPhone and iPad games...
Although Apple took a couple of years to implement system-wide multitasking in iOS, it seems to do the trick. It's easy to access the multitasking bar from any application, and for the most part, apps running in the background don't slow you up.
Note that I said for the most part. It seems like once you have 10 or more apps running, your iPhone starts to feel a bit sluggish. And to close them all one by one can be a tedious task. So why not download a jailbreak utility that'll do it for you in one step?
I've always said that the Android vs. iOS debate could spark another civil war here in the states. It seems like arguments for and against the industry's 2 hottest platforms can get heated in a hurry.
With that in mind, here's an interesting infographic displaying the results of mobile ad firm Jumptap's ad-tracking data. It shows the U.S. with states color-coded according to which mobile OS dominates the region. Hit the jump to find out what OS your state prefers.
Gentlemen, let me introduce you to your dream woman. As part of a promotion for Cosmopolitan magazine, the "iPad head girl" has been spotted in the streets of New York City.
What makes the iPad head lady stand out is that.. well, her head is made of 4 iPads...
Keeping track of your data consumption is becoming an increasingly important habit for smartphone users. Carriers have started enforcing tiered data plans, and data consumption is becoming more expensive for those that use their devices heavily.
AT&T recently announced that it would begin throttling unlimited data customers in October, so everyone will need to be monitoring their data consumption soon. On the iPhone, there's an excellent app for real-time data tracking called DataMan Pro...
Infinity Blade, one of the most popular games for iOS, is currently on sale for a bargain-tastic half price of $2.99.
That means that for under $3, you could be hacking, slashing and being a general badass on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch...
In what can only be described as a bold claim, and possibly a bit of link bait, voucher site iLoveCashback.com has claimed that Apple's wunder-tablet, the iPad 2, is no longer the must-have gadget.
The new champion? RIM's BlackBerry PlayBook. It's ok, we'll wait for you to pick yourself back up off the floor.
Up? Ok, here's how they come to that rather amazing conclusion...
Rdio, the popular subscription based music streaming service, has finally released an official iPad app. Up until now, there was no iPad app, only an app for the iPhone/iPod touch.
If you want to download this app, it will show up as an update if you have the iPhone app installed on your iPad. Along with a new iPad interface, the app also has in app-purchasing.
iOS 5 is just around the corner for those of us without developer accounts, and Apple has already begun to approve apps with iOS 5 compatibility in the App Store.
