If you're at all up on the whole jailbreaking scene, you know that the long-awaited iPhone 5 jailbreak is probably maybe definitely coming today, finally. And even though there's been a long wait, the exploit is definitely going to be a hell of a lot better than the first ones were. Jailbreaking used to take 74 steps. Read More >>

Talk about a damn tease. A group of jailbreakers, known as the Evad3rs, has just shown off the world's first iPhone 5 and iOS 6.1 jailbreak, that'll unshackle everything but the new Apple TV. Here it is, but you'll have to wait till sodding Sunday to actually use it. Read More >>
iPhone 5 users have been waiting a long, long time for a jailbreak. Sure, the current versions of iOS have been opened, but unlucky kids with A6 chips, and the fancy new Apple devices they come in, have been fat out of luck. But no longer! Probably. Read More >>
Way to go Microsoft; this is the way to keep hackers onside. It's looked at the Surface jailbreak for Windows RT that lets you run unsigned, homebrew apps, and has declared it safe. Windows RT homebrew is go. Read More >>
Microsoft's iron grip over what can and can't run on the Surface RT has been broken. Now you can turn the Surface into the iPad we've always wanted, running full-blown Mac OS. Read More >>
The fantastic Auxo is basically how Apple should do multitasking on the iPhone, and while Cupertino's not going to do it anytime soon, at least you can now screw Apple and download and install it yourself. All you need is a jailbroken iPhone, Cydia, and £1.30. Take note Apple. Buy this right now, and bake it into iOS. [Auxo via LifeHacker] Read More >>

Hackulous, the iOS piracy community behind the jailbreak app Installous, has suddenly shut down. Along with the community site, the Hackulous repository for the jailbreak store Cydia has also disappeared, rendering all of the community's piracy tools dead. Read More >>

If you ever thought that Apple's implementation of 'multitasking' sucked, you weren't alone. Now you can do something about it, because frankly, this awesome jailbreak tweak called Auxo is precisely how Apple should do it. In fact, Apple, just buy this and integrate it, now. Read More >>

iOS 6.01 just came out today and Redsn0w can already jailbreak it. The jailbreak doesn't work on newer hardware, only on iPhones and iPads that have an A4 chip and lower. Meaning: iPhone 5 or new iPad owners, hold tight. The rest of you, you have a jailbreak option. Read More >>

Chrome for the iPhone and the iPad was a breath of fresh air when it launched, but it's limited by Apple's hogging of the Nitro Javascript Engine solely for Safari. Not any more though; with Nitrous you can give Google's browser a major kick in the pants and turn it into the Chrome the iPhone deserves. Read More >>

That fancy new Windows Phone 8 start screen certainly looks awesome. So awesome in fact that iPhone users might feel a wee twinge of jealousy looking at it. No matter though -- someone's ported all that Metro goodness from Windows 8-proper to the iPhone and you can grab it right now. Read More >>
