The iPhone Dev-Team has just released the newest PwnageTool for Mac, complete with @i0n1c’s untether exploit. This jailbreak affects the iPhone 3Gs/4, iPod Touch 3G/4G, and the original iPad. Ultrasn0w unlockers, stay away from this jailbreak as Ultrasn0w has not yet been updated to work with 4.3.1. You can also use the new Redsn0w to jailbreak 4.3.1 without restoring. Here is a simple guide to jailbreaking your device on 4.3.1 using PwnageTool:  Read more...

Ever had a great idea for a video game, but lack the programming skills to write one? With GameSalad, that’s no longer a problem. GameSalad is a simplified, interfaced game writer that can write iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Web games. Even better is the app’s price tag: free. Thanks to GameSalad, not having a knowledge of Objective-C is no longer an obstacle. In fact, a 14-year-old from Kuwait wrote Doodle Destroy in just 3 days- a game which has now been downloaded from the App Store more than 1,000,000 times!  Read more...

Today, members of the Apple Developers program were issued an email invitation to buy tickets for WWDC 2011, which would take place June 6 through June 10, and would would feature a “preview of the future of iOS and Mac OS X”. With both iOS and OS X being covered in June, it looks like a fall introduction of the new iPhone wouldn’t be too far-fetched. Let’s not forget that OS X Lion is due out this fall as well. Sounds like WWDC this year will be really exciting, right? Only one problem… On the same day it was announced, WWDC 2011 has already sold out!  Read more...

Yesterday, we brought you a guide on how to jailbreak the iPhone 4 and the original iPad using PwnageTool. This process was pretty involved, and couldn’t cover every device in one article. As a result, this is a sequence of replacement steps for the previous article. You will want to have both open so you can switch between them easily. As with before, this is a tethered jailbreak, which means you have everytime the device is powered down or restarted, you need to plug it in and tether it. Here are the steps you need to replace:  Read more...

Let’s face it, computers slow down over time. This is just as true with Macs as it is with PCs, and even Linux users are affected. Universal binaries, extra language packs, and cache memory can take up tons of unnecessary space over time, which leads to less disk space and a slower computer. When it comes to making your Mac run like new again, MacKeeper is the best application I’ve seen. Here’s why:  Read more...

When it comes to developer tools, Apple’s set of tools are some of the best. Unfortunately, this point was missed by most when the new Xcode 4 came out and cost those outside the dev programs a whopping $4.99 via the Mac App Store. Xcode 3 is still free, however, by registering as a free Apple Developer. One of the major questions a potential Mac/iOS developer has to face is whether or not the $4.99 for Xcode 4 is worth it. Here’s a breakdown:  Read more...

We all pretty much know AirPlay can help us stream videos and photos from any Apple handheld i.e iPhone, iPod touch, or an iPad to an Apple TV in order to share them with our friends and family on a big screen TV.

The answer is, get the new Banana TV app. With it, you can even turn your Mac Mini plugged into your big screen High-Def TV into a complete media center solution, no Apple TV required!  Read more...

For Stacks(folders on the dock), there are many view options(Fan, Grid, and List) and each has its strengths and weaknesses. My personal favorite is the ‘Grid’ view, but it’s weakness is a significant one- you have to follow the mouse carefully to see what you’re about to select. This isn’t really a big deal unless you’re on a 13″ MacBook or MacBook Pro, in which case it can be a little difficult. Whether you use a small screen or just like to highlight what your mouse is on, this is for you. Here’s how to highlight items in a grid view upon mouse-over:  Read more...

Despite changes from Leopard’s version, the Snow Leopard “List View” option leaves a lot to be desired. All that can be changed using Terminal and a few commands. Warning: as of now, this cannot be easily reversed. Use this only if you don’t plan to go back. Here’s how it’s done:  Read more...
