If you have ever been in a situation where you've needed to time something, or see how long it takes a friend to perform a certain task, the taking out your iPhone, launching the Clock app and jumping into the Stopwatch time is in itself a time consuming task. Granted, this may have only happened to an extremely small subset of iOS users, but a problem solved is still a problem solved, and thankfully, this niche problematic situation has been eradicated for jailbroken users thanks to the Stoppur tweak.
We are getting close to that time of the year again when speculation surrounding the next-generation iPhone hardware starts to intensify. We've recently seen Samsung announce the Galaxy S4 smartphone, which may not offer much in terms of visual innovation, but definitely packs a punch when it comes to internal hardware and specifications. Those who are coming to the end of their current minimum-term contracts will be debating whether or not to snap up the latest flagship Android device from Samsung, or wait to see what Apple has in store for us with the new iPhone, or the iPhone 5S.
After briefly making an appearance just two short days ago, Google Keep is now alive and kicking, officially this time, after the service went live following a blog post by the company.
A new potential security flaw has been found in a newly released version of the software that powers the iPhone, according to a new video that has cropped up on YouTube.
Capturing a screenshot on a Windows based PC is an easy affair. You can either hit the “PrtScr” button and paste it in an image editor of your choice, or, if you’re using Windows 8, then you can press the Windows + PrtScr key combinations to snap a screenshot, in addition to the Snipping Tool. But on OS X, the process is slightly different, and in this guide we’ll walk you through the different methods on how you can capture a screenshot on an OS X powered Mac. More details after the jump.
An early morning alarm is by far the worst thing that can happen to a person during their day. Unfortunately, most of us have to attend work, school or some other pressing engagement which means that they are one of life's necessary evils to wake us from our overnight slumber. Still, just because the majority of us hate the morning alarm, it doesn't mean that those of us who are jailbroken can't add a little extra pizazz to that wake-up call, does it? Thankfully, Cydia has our back once again with the relatively new Wake Info package.
One of Apple's finer introductions into iOS in recent times has definitely been the inclusion of Notification Center, a section of the OS that allows users to have a dedicated area for incoming notifications and native widgets. Jailbreak developers always seem extremely keen to exploit the real-estate which Notification Center provides, which has resulted in numerous Cydia based extensions. One of the latest, and definitely one of the most in-depth to date, is the Tap to Widgets package that introduces multiple widgets to help users with productivity based tasks.
One of Android’s biggest strengths over competitive smartphone and tablet platforms is the operating system’s allowance for customization. Indeed, when it comes to Google’s offering for smartphones, there’s hardly an area that you cannot change to you liking and will, ranging from something as mundane as a wallpaper, to theming the whole OS with various launchers, customized lock screens, widgets and whatnot. It was also Android that made popular the concept of live (interactive) wallpapers, and the widgets that the OS has on offer are nothing short, either. In such a scenario, any customization app becomes worth a look, especially if it offers something new.
Back in early February, it was speculated that Microsoft's next-gen console, dubbed the "Xbox 720," would incorporate a system preventing the use of second-hand games. It's no secret that game developers see the practice of trading used titles as detrimental to revenue, and it has long since been presumed that measures would be in place to combat this. Further to that earlier report, yet another leak has surfaced in the form of screenshots of the XDK via VGLeaks, which only but corroborate the claims of an anti-used title infrastructure.
In these times of strictly limited data bundles and high overage charges, let alone the fact you may not get coverage good enough to actually make use of that allowance, we're all grateful for any help we can get in making the most of what we've got. There are plenty of different apps out there that tell us where the nearest cell tower is, or where the best Wi-Fi network is according to your location, but having all that and more in one place is always preferable, and that's just what OpenSignal does.
