Even if this tweak turned out to be a dud, you have to give respect where respect is due when it comes to its clever name. ScrollThindicator, as its title ever-so slyly alludes to, is a new jailbreak tweak that trims the fat off of iOS' scroll bars.
True, there's no real functionality to be gained from using ScrollThindicator, but it is an aesthetic change that many might enjoy. Take a gander at our hands-on video inside for brief overview of how it looks.

When you have the marketing history that Apple does, you don't anticipate many mistakes. The company has a long list of successful TV spots, such as the popular "I'm a Mac" campaign.
But obviously, Apple feels it messed up on its latest string of Mac 'Genius' commercials. Because it just pulled the three month-old ads from both its website, and its YouTube channel...
Of all the interesting iPad accessories we've seen over the years, this one has to be towards the top of the list. It's a real, working typewriter keyboard, that's compatible with your Apple-branded tablet.
The invention comes courtesy of industrial designer Austin Yang of Edinburgh, Scotland. And it's essentially a typewriter with capacitive touch hammers that press the keys on your iPad keyboard. Watch:
Though we are fairly confident that we know what the next iPhone will look like, there's no way to know all of its features and what it's capable of until Apple announces it next month.
But that didn't stop Adam Sacks from speculating. The artist has produced a familiar-looking parody of what he thinks the big feature of the iPhone 5 will be. And it's quite funny...
You probably already know this, but there's tons of good videos on the web. Funny videos, informative videos, sappy videos, viral videos — they're everywhere.
But that's the problem, they're everywhere. You have to hunt them down one by one, site by site to find them. Unless, of course, you have the Showyou app...
We've seen a lot of cool accessories for the iPad over the years, but this one might just take the cake. Double Robotics has just unveiled a new self-balancing motorized stand for Apple's tablet called the Double.
The stand uses the iPad for propulsion, as it wheels around on a Segway-like base. And the whole thing is controlled by a second iPad, using the camera on the first for guidance. You really have to see it to believe it...
It's that time of year again. The days are getting shorter, preseason football has commenced, and children are starting, or will soon be starting, school again.
So naturally, Rovio has released its Back to School update for Angry Birds Seasons. The update includes 20 new schoolyard levels, and (gasp!) a new bird...
When it comes to jailbreak tweaks and apps, there are a few names, that when mentioned, instantly make you think of quality. IntelliBorn may come to mind, Ryan Petrich certainly deserves a nod, and of course you can't forget about folks like chpwn and Aaron Ash.
Obviously, there are a few others who are worthy of being included in the same conversation, including SBCoders — a developer that has recently created a significant amount of high quality tweaks.
Hot off the heels of Aero, Deck, and Color Banner, comes Dash — a new take on the app switcher, and one that is sure to turn a few heads. Take a look at our full video walkthrough for a hands-on preview...
Last November, NASA launched a car-sized vehicle into space called the Curiosity rover. Earlier this month, that vehicle landed in the Gale Crater on Mars. And if that's not enough to blow your mind, check this out.
The Curiosity rover has been sending detailed pictures of the red planet back to NASA throughout its travels. And you can actually view these photos in an interactive 360-degree panoramic image on your iOS device...
The Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) announced today a draft of the new video compression standard called H.265 and also known as High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) and MPEG-H Part 2. As the name suggests, it delivers the same video quality in half the bandwidth of the current (nearly a decade old) H.264 standard, which is adopted across Apple's iOS and OS X platforms...
We're a little bit late to the party on this one, but if you haven't seen this new OS X Pad HD theme for the iPad, you have to check it out. You've seen OS X themes before, but you've never seen anything like this.
The theme has a fully functional Finder bar with interactive menu options, a customizable dock, and editable folders that look just like real OS X folders. It almost seems more like a software upgrade than a theme...
The physical game controller space for iOS is still up for grabs. There are some nice options already on the market, sure. But none of them have really managed to stand out, or pull ahead of the pack.
That's why we continue to see new iOS controllers pop up all the time — it's still anyone's game. And as you've probably already gleaned from the title, we've got another one to show you.
The coco controller, by Milkshake Labs, is a new gamepad for iOS devices (and a few Android handsets). On the surface, it looks like your average controller. But it's definitely not...
