Reblogged from iOS Affairs:

It's pretty early here in the Midwest, so it seemed like the perfect time to share this infographic explaining social media via coffee that I found on Tumblr.

I like the infographic, but I wish it actually included the names of each social media it is explaining, because I think some people will have trouble figuring even that out for some of these examples.

It appears the recent spec update to the MacBook Pros wasn't as minor as we had originally thought. According to a leaked Apple repair guide for the 15-inch Retina MacBook Pro, many internals including the SSD, I/O Board, Logic Board and even the bottom case have been updated to new parts. While it isn't clear yet how the updated parts were changed (besides the obvious CPU speed), it…

Do you fancy writing something.

So here we are again on a not so sunny UK weekend. I was thinking to myself after writing a small post the other day, lets see if anyone else would like to contribute.

Now if you either have something to “get off your chest” or even just a review of a product tweak. Whether from the App Store or Cydia then why not write about it. Now it doesn’t matter wether you are not the best grammatically as I will review your post and make sure everything is in place, but I wouldn’t alter your view in the slightest, grammatical changes and that’s all.

Now this blog press gets enough views to justify this, on the release on Evasi0n it had nearly 4,000 unique visitors and daily it’s now get between 500-700 visitors. Now content is essential to a good WordPress/blog, I have a crazily busy life and only update this when I have time which is limited throughout the day, but I still do it.

So if you would like to have your own view on here or a review, then drop me a line wookie571@googlemail.com or tweet me @jailbr0keni0s

Thank you for looking peeps and hopefully here from you soon.

Top 5 Tweaks, what are yours? #evasi0n

Well we have it. The jailbreak has come after a long wait. Yesterday was actually agonising, constant pressing of the F5 button, then questioning yourself wether its actually doing anything. Yes I was there too. So now you have Cydia on your iDevice. So what do you install first.

As you saw yesterday I posted a comprehensive list to the Cydia repos and have a tutorial on how to install new repos so you should be all set to search for anything and everything.

But what do you get your grubby hands on first?

Well here is my Top 5. Now I’m a simpleton, I love my iDevice to look sleek and simple yet different. With the following tweaks this is what you will get. Check them out.

Bored of the normal messaging service that apple provide. Well get bite SMS. It has whatsapp integration and delayed sending of SMS. Also when in any app an you receive a message you can reply without exiting the app. Simple and very effective. Massive kudos to the team for an excellent job on this.

Well that’s my must have apps. There are some others I use such as Zeppelin, Auxo, Activator etc.
also IntelliscreenX, it has a trial so try before you buy. Here’s a screen shot.
