Pod2g says he’s becoming increasingly confident in iOS 7 jailbreak

Posted: 13 Sep 2013 04:40 PM PDT

ios 7 cydia

Good news on the jailbreak front this evening, as pod2g has just tweeted out that he is becoming “more and more confident about an iOS 7 public jailbreak.” He’s careful to note, however, that this doesn’t mean one is coming soon.

Still, this is a great vote of confidence from pod2g, as there has been little said about the state of the iOS 7 jailbreak since word got out last week that the evad3rs were looking into it. Well, planetbeing provided a minor update on Wednesday…(...)

Apple to offer advanced iPhone 5s reservations on September 17 in China

iphone 5s 5c servation

With the iPhone 5c pre-order launch now well underway, the focus of the media turns to that of the iPhone 5s. Of course, we’ll have to wait another week for that, since Apple has opted not to allow advanced purchasing of the handset.

Unless you live in China. While most of the world will have to wait in line to purchase an iPhone 5s on launch day, it appears that folks in the country can take advantage of an advance reservations system beginning September 17…(...)

Rage Warriors for iOS: kill or be killed!

Posted: 13 Sep 2013 03:06 PM PDT

Rage Warriors 1

You know what game I miss? Street Fighter IV. Well, I don't really miss it because I can play it any time I want to on my iPhone. What I mean is, I miss the feeling of it being new. It was such an awesome fighting game.

Rage Warriors takes a page or two from Street Fighter. However, it features a completely different set of rules, characters, and final moves.  This is not your parent's fighting game…(...)

infinity_blade_3.0_cinema_640.0

Chair has today posted a new video teasing its upcoming Infinity Blade III title, the third installment in the developer’s popular hack-and-slash series. The game first debuted during Apple’s iPhone event on Tuesday, where it demonstrated the power of the A7.

Today’s clip is entitled ‘Infinity Blade: Origins,’ and it does a great job of summing up events in the first two games and introducing the third. In typical Infinity Blade-fashion, both graphics and audio of the video are top-notch—so it’s definitely worth watching…(...)

Microsoft posts series of terrible ads bashing new iPhones [updated]

Posted: 13 Sep 2013 11:45 AM PDT

windows phone ad fly

Now, we’re no strangers to Microsoft’s anti-Apple marketing antics. Whether it be Surface against iPad or Windows Phone against iPhone, the company has made it very clear that they are gunning for Tim Cook and his team out there in Cupertino.

And up until now, the effectiveness of Microsoft’s ads have been questionable at best—it’s tough to proclaim your product is better than another when sales and reviews suggest the opposite. But these new commercials have to be the worst yet…(...)

The iPhone 5c became available for pre-order at 12:00 am PST this morning. Since then, hundreds of thousands (millions?) of people around the globe have placed orders for the new handset with Apple or one of its retail partners.

And for the most part, launch day supplies have held up. Last year, it only took an hour for iPhone 5 shipping times to slip on certain models. But this year, most configurations of the iPhone 5c remain available 10 hours after launch…(...)

FlowDoku makes the game of Sudoku a little less intimidating

Posted: 13 Sep 2013 09:00 AM PDT

FlowDoku 1

I've never been very good at Sudoku. Whenever I try, I get all jumbled up around the bottom few grids. For me, it is because the numbers are so daunting. I see a bunch of numbers and all I can think of is math.

FlowDoku lets you have the experience of solving Sudoku-type puzzles without the intimidation of looking at series of seemingly unconnected numbers. Instead, you solve the puzzles with shapes…(...)

iPhone 5s online orders to start at 12.01am PST on September 20

iPhone 5s order september 20 8am

The iPhone 5c might already be available for pre-order, but for some reason, Apple will not let you pre-order the flagship iPhone 5s. We speculated why, but we’ll probably never know for sure the reasoning behind this decision.

If it’s been clear since this week’s event that the iPhone 5s would be available in store on the 20th, the exact time hadn’t been made official until today, when Apple sent an email to customers saying the iPhone would be available for order online at 12.01am PST (3am EST)…(...)

Facebook announced yesterday afternoon that it has started testing an easier way to watch videos on its website. The new feature will be rolling out as a limited test in the coming weeks through its mobile apps, and continue to roll out over time.

Once the new feature hits you, you’ll notice that when you see a video popup in News Feed it’ll start playing automatically. It’ll be silent at first, and you can choose to turn on the sound, watch it in full screen or scroll past it. It sounds a lot like Vine…(...)

Status Color Hero

Jailbreaking is all about customizing your iPhone in a way that you see fit; from the biggest detail all the way down to the smallest detail. With that in mind, Status Color is a recently released tweak that’s worth a look.
