Whenever a new jailbreak is released, Apple is usually pretty quickly off the mark in releasing a new update to plug the exploits which made said jailbreak possible in the first place.

Users of Apple's iPhone, iPad and iPod touch could be set to receive a new iOS update for their devices, with the news that the company is working on an update that it hopes will eradicate some of the issues that have cropped up with the recent iOS 6.1 release.
Apple's unannounced but much rumored 'mini' iPhone is something that has been the subject of much guess work and conjecture for quite a while now, and with the rumored June release date closing in the talk is only going to intensify.

If you've been trying to get your hands on one of Microsoft's 128GB Surface Pro tablets then the chances are that you've already come across some difficulties in sourcing a retail location that has them in stock. The majority of locations are showing that Microsoft's powerhouse tablet is out of stock of the 128GB model, with minimal supplies of the smaller 64GB variant being available.

At the beginning of the month, you may have to stock up on groceries, kitchen supplies, cat food, or pretty much anything else, and it doesn’t get any better than to have someone to help you out with that.
