Some things are cool not because of what they actually do but rather because how they do it. Overglide is a new game on the App Store and costing a dollar is one prime example of just that.
Cydia may be lauded as the most important tool in the broad mechanics that comprise the jailbreak scene, and in many respects, it is. But if you thought that a jailbreak + Cydia = all of the untethered jailbreaks you've enjoyed over the last few years, you'd perhaps be underestimating the contribution of several other key components. Cydia Substrate, for example, is a quiet workhorse that, without it, Cydia cannot properly work its magic, and with author Saurik having rolled out several key updates already since Pangu8 released over three weeks ago, a new version has just arrived featuring a myriad of improvements and enhancements. Details after the jump.
Even now, nearly two months since the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus were released and we're still waiting for some major players to update their apps to support Apple's two new smartphones.

As with anything that's not quite the norm there are plenty of misconceptions about what jailbreaking is all about, how safe it is, and what it's used for. Fighting those misconceptions and legitimizing the practice of jailbreaking is never going to be easy.

The EFF has this week filed a petition to the Librarian of Congress and the Copyright Office to extend and expand the exemption that allows the jailbreaking of smartphones. The new petition will hopefully see tablets added to the current exemption.
Here's how you can find and remove WireLurker malware from both jailbroken and non-jailbroken iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.
The jailbreak scene is there for one thing, and one thing only and that's to open iOS up to possibilities that Apple can't or simply won't.
