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.
Google is known for doing some rather strange things, even if they eventually turn out to be brilliant. Take Google's Fiber broadband rollout to select markets as a prime example of something that had us shrugging our shoulders before realizing that it made so much sense we can't work out why it didn't do it before.
When proposing marriage, many men - and women - dream up original, romantic methods of popping that life-changing question. Such a special, memorable occasion deserves a little prior consideration, after all, and in order for everything to run smoothly, there's usually a certain expectation. If you're a hardcore geek, though, an expensive meal at the top of the Eiffel Tower just doesn't cut it, and so one smitten tech fan spent tens of thousands on 99 boxed iPhone 6 units, laying them out in a heart shape as an enclosed space from which to ask for his partner's hand in marriage. No expense being spared, he said his piece, but much to his dismay, the outcome wasn't as expected.
It's no secret that Apple is a company that strives pretty hard to keep all its new upcoming products off the radar, fearing that rivals may plan ahead or simply because consumer anticipation and excitement may drop and the company does not want to lose that spotlight.

Filippo Bigarella's famed Springtomize tweak has, in recent years, established itself as the go-to utility for modifying hundreds of little aspects of Apple's iOS operating system. Be it an aesthetic annoyance, such as a status bar entry that won't disappear, or a functional limitation, Springtomize operates as an all-in-one service that essentially combines the prowess of dozens of other tweaks, nullifying them in the process, and having already announced an updated version of Springtomize 3 for iOS 8, the author has now gone and rolled it out.
Apple, already being a dominant force in markets like digital music, computing and mobile, has made a couple of strong statements with the recent iOS 8 update as to its future expansion plans, and along with the HealthKit infrastructure set to tap into an industry worth billions of dollars, Apple Pay has also given the world's most valuable company a shoo-in to the world of finance. As well as facilitating contactless payments in a secure fashion - something recently introduced with iOS 8.1 - Apple has been striking deals with financiers and money corps left, right and center, and in the latest, has just announced a co-branded Barclaycard Visa that'll land customers some Apple-focused rewards and benefits.
Jailbreaking. It's always had something of a bad reputation, no matter how much backers of the movement have tried to make it more mainstream. 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.
