With the flip of a switch, WinterBoard allows users to keep a log of unthemed images, providing a simple way to keep track of any missing elements in a theme—and providing the file names needed for any replacements you might come up with.
(With the release of the new iOS 6 untethered jailbreak, I thought some new jailbreakers might get some good use from this past article. Enjoy your jailbreak!)
After several years of jailbreaking iPhones (and helping others jailbreak their devices), I’ve come to realize that Cydia—the third party app store that circumvents Apple’s lockdown on what can or can’t be installed on your iDevice—offers a lot of functionality that many users never explore (or were never aware of in the first place). Here, then, is a short list of some of Cydia’s most useful but overlooked features. Hopefully jailbreakers new and not-so-new alike will find something useful in them.

As I wrote yesterday, Google has killed off the free version of its popular Google Apps suite, which means that small businesses or custom domain owners are now going to have to pay $50 per year, per user, to have Gmail and other Google offerings powering their operations. For small operators, it’s a huge shift.
Luckily, there are reports that it’s still possible to sign up for a free account—but only for a single user; if you need more than one email address, it won’t work. Bear in mind, this is probably a loophole that Google left open inadvertently, so it’s a good bet that it won’t last forever. But if you were kicking yourself over missing the Apps boat, it’s definitely worth a look.
For the step by step details, look here.
Anyone who has used Apple’s iPod/Music app has had it happen: you’re in the middle of a song when you try to get back to your artist list by tapping the Back button (going from Song to Album to Artist and so on) but when you get to the list, the Back button becomes a Store button, and—too goddamn late, you just tapped it again, didn’t you? And now you’re in iTunes, where you never want to be.
Not anymore. In iOS 6, you have to tap that Store button twice to leave the Music app, which is going to cut down on my cursing considerably. And once again, Apple shows that the beauty is in the details.
A very handy link for anyone struggling to find an easy way to add a Share To Tumblr button to Safari on their iPhone/iPod/iPad.
