Jailbreaking Your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad

Jailbreaking, what is it? Is it illegal? What does it do?

Things to know:

iDevice-> iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad

Jailbreak: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_jailbreaking

Unlock: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOS_jailbreaking#SIM_Unlocking_vs._Jailbreaking

Jailbreaking is a way for your iDevice (Apple's iPod Touch, iPhone, iPad) to work the way you want it to. For example, you can "unlock" iPhones, so that you can use any operator with them, and not just the one(s) available for iPhones in your country. Other examples of what jailbreaking is used for: all kinds of "Cydia apps" (applications only available from an application called "Cydia", which can be installed after having jailbroken the iDevice), +others...

Jailbreaking is NOT illegal, but however, downloading copyrighted software (applications) is as illegal as downloading copyrighted movies, games and other for free on the computer. Unfortunately, it is a major factor, as many jailbreak their iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad only for getting normally paid apps for free. I am NOT encouraging you to do so, but will post tutorials about how to do it, but ONLY FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES!!!

Now... Go to THIS page for the tutoriel on how to jailbreak an iDevice.

Patch Notes - 20.12.2010 - 1.0.1

This is what I call a "patch"; when I change the background, change adress, change the name of the blog etc. The most important thing for you to know is that a patch means changement. This wasn't really my first patch, because the other ones were "betas"; they don't count:

• Changed the background
• Moved "Best Mac Apps (Free)" and "Best Mac Apps (Paid)" into a same page; "Best Mac Apps (Paid/Free)
• Moved "Best Mac Games (Free)" and "Best Mac Games (Paid)" into a same page; "Best Mac Games (Paid/Free)"

Spotify, The Best Application There Is!

Spotify has gone to the lead in both the Best Paid and Free Mac Apps (as I remembered to post it here). If you still don't know what Spotify is, then you just got to check it out. You can listen to almost whatever music you want, and did I mention that it was "free and legal"? In fact, if you don't mind some adverts, then you don't have to pay anything, but if you want offline content and no adverts plus other pros, then you can pay for the Spotify Premium which is only about 5€/$ a month!

Added New Applications To "Best Free Mac Apps"

I just added some new freeware applications to Best Free Mac Apps, and this time I added my favorite 3 browsers --> Google Chrome, Safari and Firefox. I don't usually review all my applications, and I most probably never will have the time for it, but something tells me that "there are going to be reviews of all of the applications listed above".

Best Paid Mac Apps Page Added

This list will have a lot of cool stuff, and usually they don't even cost a lot. Many video/audio/photo editing software do cost quite a lot though, and that is why some people have started to get them illegally by downloading copyrighted software through torrents and other means. "I am in no way encouraging you to do the same, but just telling that it is quite easy". In order to support the good Mac software developers, I do suggest you to buy the licensed ones.

Some good examples of the Best Paid Mac Apps are Screenflow, Clusters and MacSpeech Dictate (International):

Hi all "MacAppers"!

Hi all "MacAppers"!
This is not an official website of MacApper, but my own blog about Macs, Mac apps, Mac news, Mac games and software and other stuff, that doesn't even have to be related to Macs at all (however, most of the time they still do).

I hope that you will enjoy the content of my blog, that is still not completed, but will hopefully soon be.
