DisableLaunch is a free jailbreak tweak that adds a security element to your iPhone's Home screen.
With the assistance of Activator, you can outright prevent apps from launching from your SpringBoard.
It's not the most surefire security feature ever invented, but it can get the job done in a pinch...

AnyVoice — the jailbreak tweak that allows you to fit Siri with nearly 40 different accents from around the world — is now available for download in Cydia.
If you haven't seen our preview of AnyVoice, be sure to check out our preview post located here.
AnyVoice is available for a free from Cydia's ModMyi repo. You will need a jailbroken iOS 5 install with Siri (either legit iPhone 4S Siri or Spire) to take advantage of AnyVoice.
We know you're a devoted iOS user, but isn't it always interesting to know what goes on up in Redmond? Microsoft just released its consumer preview of Windows 8, which is designed around tablets. The lingering question of course is how it compares to the iPad. Microsoft's tablets haven't really succeeded in the past, so it will be interesting to see if Microsoft got it this time.
The Verge is ready to answer the question on our mind and has compared the iPad 2 to a Windows 8 tablet on video. The new Metro UI actually doesn't look too shabby...
This is a dream come true for sports fans, even if you don't like the NBA. The fact that someone has finally created an addon for AssistantExtensions to allow Siri to query sports scores is a win for sports fans of every type.
This means it's only a matter of time before you can search MLB, NFL, NCAA, and Premier League matches with Siri.
It's called SiriNBA, and it's the very first jailbreak tweak of its type. Check inside for our hands-on video...
When traveling abroad, there's just some things that you should do that are just no brainers. One of them is knowing the exchange rate between your native currency, and the currency of the country you're travelling to.
In the old days this used to take a little legwork, i.e. reading the newspaper, going to the post office, etc. With the smartphone boom, though, currency conversion is often right at your fingertips.
As is the case with this new jailbreak widget, entitled Currency Convertor. It's a widget that conveniently sits in iOS 5's Notification Center for easy access...
Would you like to hear Siri speak in a British voice? Or perhaps you prefer a Thai accent? With AnyVoice, either of these, plus nearly 40 others are available for you to choose from.
AnyVoice is a upcoming jailbreak tweak that allows you to easily customize Siri's accent. Be warned, though, some of the accents are much better sounding than others...
It's one of those feature that seem so painfully obvious, but no one took advantage of the opportunity until now.
Reflection is an app for the Mac that allows you to use AirPlay Mirroring from your iPhone 4S or your iPad 2 directly to your Mac.
In times past, the only way to perform mirroring was via an Apple TV set-top box device. No longer.
Before you think to yourself how obvious the answer to that question is, let me assure you that I receive this question many times a day, especially after doing a video where I receive a Tweetbot banner notification.
Setting up banner notifications in Tweetbot may seem like a no-brainer to most of us, but there still remains a fair amount of people who find it confusing — my email inbox is a testament to that fact.
With this in mind, I felt we were long overdue for a tutorial that shows how to enable notifications for Tweetbot.
We know, we're getting tired of all of the iPad 3 chatter today too. So we figured we would take a break from talking about that tablet, to talk about these tablets.
The folks over at Aatma Studio, the creators of this awesome iPhone 5 mock-up, published a video today showcasing their new iPad 3 concepts. We've posted the video after the break, and highly recommend watching it. It'll blow your mind...

Ever thought you looked unattractive when using FaceTime? There's a plastic surgery for that...
What's the longest word that can be typed using a single row of the keyboard? Siri knows.
Awesome Facts for Chatbot/Siri is an AssistantExtensions add-on that turns Siri into a random fact spewing assistant.

Back in October we brought you a walkthrough of Calendar for Notification Center. Needless to say it was so barebones that I don't even believe we made a post about it.
Now the same developer behind Calendar for Notification Center is back, this time with Calendar Pro.
How does Calendar Pro compare to its predecessor? Better yet, will it meet the needs of those who desire a calendar in iOS 5's Notification Center?
