Jailbreak Apple TV 2G on iOS 6.x Now with Sn0wbreeze 2.9.8
For all of those hardcore Apple TV fans (including myself!) will be pleased to hear, Sn0wbreeze, the Windows based jailbreak tool has also been updated to include an untethered jailbreak for the Apple TV 2G.
Most of the software like XBMC, aTV Flash (black), Plex, etc. is not yet compatible with Apple TV 5.1 – 5.2 and the device constantly crashes when attempting to install additional software from nitoTV, so things are not ideal at this stage! Hopefully the programs developers will soon provide and update for their software to provide compatibility for the lastest software.
If you …

DreamJB Confirmed Fake [Unfortunately]
We posted earlier today about a skeptical but possible untethered jailbreak for all iOS 6 iDevices, including the iPhone 5, iPad Mini + others. The DreamJB team have uploaded a youtube video (shown below) which has been confirmed fake by many users within the Jailbreak community including MuscleNerd. The video is one of the most, if not THE most, well done fakes we have ever seen, but even the best fake still has some discrepancies. Now, other than the fact that the DreamJB “developer” has already admitted that this was nothing more than a “social experiment,” here are …

We all know the passcode is a great feature on the iPhone that adds security for users, but what happens when you forget your passcode?

pod2g, p0sixninja, planetbeing, pimskeks. If you’re into jailbreaking, you’ve likely heard or seen these names before, but do you know who’s hiding behind these Twitter handles?

From left to right, we have pimskeks, planetbeing, pod2g, and p0sixninja (who’s looking very sad on this picture).
[Poll] Does the Home screen need updating in iOS 6?
There have been some interesting articles floating around the web at the moment about the need for Apple to revamp the iOS homescreen in their next major update.
There are both some major positives as well as major drawbacks of changing the so well known homescreen. Hundreds of millions of users already know how to use the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad Home screen, and that’s a huge barrier to change. Maybe not to geeks, but certainly to mainstream users.
It has the fast app switcher, it has folders, it has notification center, it has Siri, but at …
[iTunes Tips] Deleting iTunes Songs from Your Computer/Library
Often I find i’m listen to a playlist (or my library on shuffle) and come across a song I can’t stand – whether the song reminds me of a bad memory, it’s a old slow song, or I just generally don’t like it. For what ever the reason, it shouldn’t be in my playlist let alone in my library.
For example, I recently was organizing and running the sound equipment for a friends wedding. The quickest and easiest way for me to setup dinner and dance music during the practice was to play it through an iTunes playlist. The music …
Status update on the iOS 5.1 jailbreak
There have been a lot of questions from viewers since our recent post about the upcoming iOS 5 jailbreak so we thought it would be useful to help clear the air with some more info released today from pod2g.
The good news is that they have managed to bypass the ASLR (Address Space layout randomization) already. The complicated security measure could’ve taken much longer. The bad news is that a public jailbreak still seems to be a ways out…
“ETA for 5.1 JB : no clue! We’re going to set pieces of the puzzle together this week. We could …
