In my absence, the gurus at Evasi0n and saurik of Cydia himself came up
with a working untethered jailbreak and ancillary programs for the
iPhone 5S and the latest OS, so, finally, I'm able to customize my
iPhone. The customizations are mainly "tweaks" that expand upon the
features of the phones, such as adding more controls to the Control
Center and deleting the ones Apple puts in there that you might never
use.

Exciting, eh?


I was reading in USA today that Apple and Samsung are scared to death
about a new wave of smart phones coming out of China that run Android
and will retail for $100. They are cheap enough that the cell
carriers can give them away for a pretty short contract.

I still have not seen the need for one for me personally but I don't
even carry a phone.


It was nice yesterday when my wife was heading to the barn with a 6 foot
iron pry bar to displace a frozen feeder from the ground. She saw
lightning in the distance and I was able to pull up live strike
information within seconds. Turns out there was scattered strikes right
in her area, so we waited for an hour till the front and the strikes
were all 30 miles away, and over thirty minutes since any strikes within
20 miles or so and she went out to work the feeder... (note) when she
got there is was not frozen anymore... But I do love having that right
in my pocket...



No offense, but to me that's like standing outside in a nor'easter
getting soaked and checking your iPhone for the weather.

It says, "Rain". :-)
