Fast Navigate the Calendar in iOS with a Tap & Hold

If you made a Venn Diagram with circles for the name and the description of the Aluminum Sliding Bumper Case for iPad Mini, then it would consist of just one circle.

And there’s not really much more to add.

The case is a two-part, rubber-lined bumper which slides onto the littlest iPad. Ir protects the edges from bumps, as bumpers are designed to do, but it also adds a grip all around the  [Read More...]

Along with making ridiculous prediction like the impending arrival of an iTV, analysts have now taken to predicting when Apple will hold their next keynotes.

So cute, and so functional!

The iHook is back, folks, and it’s even better than it was the last time we told you about it. Unfortunately, it won’t open a beer for you, so that’s, um, out.

Being put on hold is never fun, and for some particularly busy companies that hold time can easily end up being 30-45 minutes of waiting and twiddling your thumbs to talk to whatever representative awaits you on the other end. If you’re lucky, they’ll put on some lame hold music or have some repetitive “we’ll be right with you” line that comes up every few minutes (or unlucky, depending on the tunes) to sort of help pass the time.

You new iPad mini’s display could look ancient in 12 months.

Mailed out by Apple’s local PR person, Irina Efremova, the Russian iTunes event will reportedly take place in GUM, one of Moscow’s more upscale shopping centers located  [Read More...]

Send an iMessage as a text message

iMessage is undeniably great, but it’s not without it’s own set of problems (coincidentally, at the time of writing, iMessage happens to be down), and even when it is working there are times when trying to send a message through iMessage is slower than text messages, or they won’t deliver at all because of a poor cell signal. If you’ve ran into the latter problem before  [Read More...]

Nicholas Allegra, or “comex,” created an iOS jailbreak that was used by millions of people before Apple hired him as an intern.

There are few jailbreak hackers in the world regarded as highly as Nicholas Allegra, also known as “comex.” In the earlier days of iOS, Allegra released JailbreakMe, the first and only web-based jailbreak of its kind. He has worked on numerous jailbreaks throughout the years, but recently he’s been working off the  [Read More...]
