iOS 6.x Jailbreak Released

evasi0n
After a breathless waiting period, the first untethered jailbreak for iOS 6.0 and 6.1 has been released. The jailbreak, called evasi0n and developed by evad3rs, has been released on evasi0n.com for all to download. The jailbreak is compatible with all iPhone, iPod Touch, iPad and iPad Mini devices that are running iOS 6.0 or above.

Installing the jailbreak is quite simple - just a matter of downloading the release for your computer's operating system (there are options for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows) and following the instructions. Probably the most important thing to remember to do is back up your device to iTunes / iCloud before you begin, just so that if anything goes wrong you'll be able to recover your data. Apparently disabling lock passcodes can also be a good idea. For the full instructions, check out the website or simply run the app.

With the release coming just one week after the new version of iOS was release, the timing is no accident. It's common among jailbreak developer circles to sit on potential exploits until a new version of iOS is released, in order to give users the longest possible time until Apple fixes the exploit used in their next software update.

While jailbreaks may or may not be illegal in the United States, evasi0n has still proved to be quite popular. The site reporting seeing 270,000 simultaneous users on the day of release, and no doubt many millions of iOS devices have already had the jailbreak applied. You may think that the most essential iPhone 5 accessory is a case or screen protector, but these kind of numbers suggest the most popular complements to iOS devices are virtual ones instead.

Have you already jailbroken your iOS 6 device or are you planning to? Let us know why or why not in the comments below!

My White Hat SEO Strategy for 2015

Image
With over 45 days left for welcoming the new year, I've already started planning my White Hat SEO Strategy for 2015 to stay ahead of my competition. Running a blog which doesn't have traffic and a loyal base of readers defeats it's very purpose of existence. In the coming year, I plan to push my blog further up the search results page for certain niche keywords and focus on higher conversions rather than large amounts of traffic which don't convert. Of course large amounts of  free traffic via White Hat SEO  is always good for your blog; there's no denying that. So, here are the main areas I'm going to focus on for the year 2015 1. Target Long Tail Keywords Long tail keywords often have less competition in the SEO race. Many bloggers and webmasters are becoming aware of it, but it's not too late for you to start targeting them instead of common short keywords which have high competition. As usual, I'll be using Google AdWords' Keyword
