Similar in vein to the just discussed NCQuickDismiss — ClearLockNotifications makes it easy to clear out iOS 5 notifications that happen to pile up on your Lock screen.
It's weird that Apple doesn't think to add simple items like this to the default version of iOS, but again, I guess that's what the jailbreak community is for...
In general iOS 5's new notification banners are a good thing, but sometimes they wear out their welcome. Unfortunately, there's no built-in method to quickly dismiss a notification banner, you just kind of have to wait until it decides to disappear.
That sounded like a job for the jailbreak community to tackle, and indeed they did. The result? NCQuickDismiss...

The idea is to create a gaping hole in the torso using two iPads, one taped iPad on the front, and one taped on the back, then start a FaceTime conversation between them. The result is quite cool...
Mobile Terminal is an extremely handy tool to have if you're used to using a command line interface.

With this handy video tutorial, I'll show you how to get back in the game with Mobile Terminal on iOS 5...
With each new product release, Apple launches a whole new advertising campaign around whatever fancy new features have been added, and the iPhone 4S is no exception.
Starting today, Apple is airing three new ads to help spread the word about the "most amazing iPhone yet." The 30-second spots feature iCloud, Siri, and the supercharged 8 megapixel camera packed into the iPhone 4S. And in typical Apple fashion, we're not sure where real products end and the hype machine begins...
You're most likely familiar with the iOS hit game Fruit Ninja, in which your goal is to cut in half a variety of fruits that are being thrown at you while avoiding bombs.
But did you know that a movie is being made about the game? Well, that's not actually true. As far as I know, no one is planning to make a movie out of it, but that didn't prevent SAX Jewell and his friends from creating a Fruit Ninja trailer, and it is hilarious...
