If you've been using your jailbroken iPhone or iPod touch, but needed to get quick access to important information such as the time, date, battery status of the device or just some network based information like what the SSID the phone is connected to, then you will realize the annoyance caused by having to pause or exit the game just to get this relatively simple information. Sure, it isn't life's greatest problem, but the whole point of advanced mobile devices is to make things easier for us, so maybe the Cydia based HUD Pro tweak could be the answer for some people.
PlayStation console owners have long been able to fire up their machine and directly access the PlayStation Store directly through their gaming device, allowing them to browse, purchase and download a multitude of games, movies and other forms of digital content. With a release that has blindsided a few and come as a bit of a surprise, Sony Entertainment has officially made live their web-based version of the PlayStation Store which allows consumers to all kinds of digital goods directly from their preferred web browser of choice.
Apple's current CEO Tim Cook may have only been sitting at the top of the corporate food chain for little over 12 months, but it's evident that he has taken to running the world's most valuable company like a duck on water. After taking over the reigns from the late Steve Jobs in August of 2011, Cook had to have a strong resolve and leadership mentality to guide Apple through a number of challenging incidents, legal battles and internal restructuring, all of which he has discussed in his first official television interview that aired on NBC's Rock Center last night.
Many of you have been in touch with burning questions regarding an iOS 6 / 6.0.1 jailbreak on iPhone 5 and other devices, or specifically, when it would be arriving. Hence this post, in which we'll run through the story so far and hopefully, clarify things a little further.
Everyone loves a good update to an app that is regularly used and highly thought of, and that is exactly what has happened with Google Now for compatible devices running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and up. The official Android blog took great delight in introducing the latest update to the intelligent personal assistant software that was first introduced to the Android world with the release of Jelly Bean back in July of this year and should be an extremely welcome update for those travel conscious Android owners out there.
The smartphone and tablet boom has truly revolutionized the way we take, view and share our photos, and thanks to the iPad's gorgeous Retina display, it's one of the best devices out there for viewing your high-res images. Not only that, but with up to 64GB of storage on the table (it's a hefty $100 per storage bump, but that's another matter of another time), you can store thousands upon thousands of high-resolution images for your effortless viewing pleasure.
It may not have happened to you personally, but everybody has seen the what happens when a mobile device meets gravity. Such is the toughness of displays today, that many survive an accidental drop without so much as a crack, but when they do succumb and shatter, they become a hazard unto their owner, with shards and slivers aplenty. Recognizing this, rumor has it that Samsung is planning to release an "unbreakable" screen with the upcoming Galaxy S III smartphone.
Samsung's flagship Galaxy S III smartphone is beginning to see an update to Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2, and although this may not, on the face of it, sound all-that riveting, there are plenty of exciting new features to behold. Among them arrives the very handy multi-view function, which was first introduced with the Galaxy Note II, and vastly improves the multitasking capabilities of your device by allowing you to see more than one app running at a time.
As a company, Apple is extremely well-known for creating the fantastic OS X powered Mac, the iPhone, iPad and a number of other extremely popular mobile devices. Although those products have been, and will continue to be, extremely successful around the globe, there has been intense speculation over the last twelve months that Apple will breach their comfort zone and extend their portfolio by manufacturing an actual physical television set. Although there hasn't been any concrete evidence or nods of approval from Apple itself, a recent NBC News interview with Tim Cook could be the source of the biggest hint to date.
Considering that Windows 8 is still relatively new, and that a lot of people are still trying to adapt to the new operating system with its unorthodox design and layout changes, problems are nothing surprising. One of the issues, apart from the subjective criticism that the operating system has been receiving, is certain folders slowing down under Windows 8. More specifically, this complaint has been lodged repeatedly against the Downloads folder, whereby users claim that clicking the Downloads directory from the sidebar, to the actual folder’s contents loading up, can take up to 10 minutes in worst cases. While I haven’t personally encountered the problem, there are some steps that you can take to remedy the situation, not just for Downloads, but for any folder that slows down under Windows 8.
