When I first started blogging about tech, I decided the best place to go and get information on the latest gadgets was the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It’s an amazing experience and, at first, overwhelming. If you ever get the chance to go, do it! This year was the biggest year yet and there are some amazing new products being displayed. Here are a few of my favorites. [Read more…]
LiveWeatherIcon – Temperature & Weather Conditions on Your Weather Icon
January 9, 2014 by
The LiveWeatherIcon is back! Although I like the original version better, this still helps speed the process up of checking the current weather conditions. All you have to do is install the app in Cydia and it’s ready to go. There are no settings for LiveWeatherIcon in the Settings app. I would like an option to turn off the text though. It’s just too small to read and not really necessary. I only check the temperature to see the way I need to dress in the morning and don’t care about current conditions. If I want to know the rest of the weather I will look at a radar app. Now they just need to make a live icon that shows the current radar conditions! Another setting that I really liked about the old version of LiveWeatherIcon was to have the current temperature available in your status bar. Hopefully they bring this back! What other options would you like to see? Write them in the comments below. This application cost $1.00. [Read more…]

evasi0n7 1.0.1 – Jailbreak for iOS 7 – iPhone 5 & Mac Tutorial
December 28, 2013 by
Finally, the jailbreak for iOS 7 has been released. There has been a little bit of drama with this jailbreak, more than usual. Basically, the people who wrote the jailbreak were paid to add an alternative App Store to iPhones in China. Like Cydia but for Chinese users. Users in China began to notice that the Chinese alternative app store, called TaiG, had pirated apps on it. That means that they were taking paid apps from the Apple App Store and copying them and making them free in the Taig app store. The jailbreak community wasn’t too happy about this. We even recommended users to not perform the jailbreak until the issue was resolved. Thankfully the alternative app store has now been removed from the jailbreak. [Read more…]
