In the video below, I have included the first five things you should do after performing the jailbreak.

For those of you fans of the Jailbreak underworld, the time has come. Evasi0n was finally released today for all iOS 6 compatible devices, and it's as easy and stable as the most popular Jailbreaks we've seen in the past. Jailbreaking will allow you to side-load applications and services to iOS 6 that Apple has either not intended or not considered for your device. And as we historically know, many of these solutions have served to make iOS what it currently is since Apple has hired a couple of the developers behind some of the apps being offered. It's hard to answer the question: Why ...

Lot's of iOS customers were reportedly annoyed because the iOS 6 feature "Do Not Disturb" didn't work after the new year began. As it turns out though, the problem is sadly bigger than even Apple expected. According to Apple's new support document, the problem will persist until January 7th. They aren't really specific as to why the bug exists, but just as lots of us weren't woken-up by iOS 5 last year, I guess it's only common to not rely on Apple products every ...

We usually avoid covering topics that have to do with piracy for obvious reasons. Developers have been a key element that has pushed the smartphone ecosystem into what it's become and they deserve to get paid for their work, no exceptions. Now that said, we do know that many of us Jailbroke our iPhones since the early days because there wasn't any multi-tasking or because we couldn't tether our devices even with our unlimited data plans of back in the day. On the other hand, we do know that a lot of other people used Jailbreaking to side-load apps and avoid their civic duty paying for ...
