The iPatch will no longer be supported on our repository.
Why? Well, Apple is trying to find a reason to make jailbreaking illegal and we are doing everything we can to make sure they dont find that reason. iPatch’s are just modified files from Apple that I was putting my name on and releasing in Cydia, and thats illegal, in the efforts to keep our phones and iPods jailbreakable, the iPatch’s will no longer be available on our repo.
Help the EFF free our phones!

Apple has made a vital change to the App Store, in order to review an app you now have to actually have downloaded it first. All I have to say is… it’s about time!
This brilliant idea (that should have been in place since day one!) means we no longer have to read reviews from people who have never tried the app out — or don’t even own a iPhone or iPod Touch!
Now all we have to get rid of are the thousands of reviews that simply say “How do I uninstall this?” That is so sad, not only because they give it a rating of 1 star but the person has no clue how to uninstall a app! Is a 1 star rating simply because you can’t uninstall the app fair to the developer? I think not.
