A Chronic Dev-Team member has just tweeted the news that Absinthe, the tool used for the jailbreak of A5 devices (iPad 2 and iPhone 4S) on iOS 5.0.1, has just been updated to version 0.4.
Since iOS 5 parachuted onto the map back in October, the response from consumers has been generally positive.
Forget Facebook, forget Google+ and forget MySpace if you haven't already, the real social network for the cool kids these days has to be Twitter. Introduced in 2006, Twitter has amassed over 200 million active subscribers and is responsible for serving 1.6 billion search queries each day. With the active and engaged member count growing daily, Twitter is the micro blogging service of choice.
I make no secret of the fact that I am a massive jailbreak enthusiast. I have owned every iPhone since 2007, and both iPads and have eagerly jailbroken each and everyone of them as soon as the relevant tools are released or updated for the new devices and firmwares.

It is becoming more and more increasingly difficult to jailbreak our devices. Once upon a time, when new hardware or software was released, there was a small interim period when the researchers tinkered with a few things and then voila, we had a viable jailbreak.

Insurance policies for our beloved gadgets can often cost an arm and a knee, and as such, we're always on the lookout for cheaper ways to protect our devices as best possible.
The iPhone 4S is now three months old, which means the inevitable barrage of rumors and speculation will be hitting our screens in the coming weeks and months regarding future devices from Apple, especially the iPhone 5 and iPad 3. The rumor train shouldn't come as a surprise, considering it happens with every product release, but as the Apple products gain more popularity around the world, the focus on the rumors intensifies.
Musical preference is a very unique thing, and as the old saying goes, there are 'different strokes for different folks'. Besides, diversity is what makes this world a beautiful place to live in, so surely it would be a bit boring if we all liked the same sounds, or if bands, all made the same songs? If you happen to be a fan of the more eclectic musical genres, then it is quite possible that you are already familiar with one of Oklahoma's alternative rock bands.
Every so often an application comes along and drops into the App Store which catches our eye for one reason or another.
