iOS 7 jailbreak for iPhone and iPad: When, if ever, will the jailbreak be ready?

Despite iOS 7 being the most successful mobile OS update ever, there's still one question that everyone's asking: When can we expect to download an iOS 7 jailbreak for the iPhone and iPad? This is a tricky question with a tricky combination of possible answers. If you have an iPhone 4, there is already a preliminary jailbreak for iOS 7, and an early port of Cydia — but neither of them are ready to use or available to download. If you own a newer iDevice, though, such as the iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPhone 5S, iPad, or iPad Mini (anything with the A5 SoC or newer), there is every chance that you will never be able to download an iOS 7 jailbreak.
Before we dive in and discuss why there's no iOS 7 jailbreak for newer iDevices, and why there may never be an untethered jailbreak, we should discuss the issue of websites purporting to provide an iOS 7 jailbreak. All of these websites are fakes or scams. When (if) iOS 7 is eventually jailbroken on the iPhone 4S, 5, 5S, iPad, and iPad Mini, we will update this story to let you know. Until then, you should avoid any and all websites offering to jailbreak your iOS 7 device. Now, let's jump into some low-level details of iOS, iPhone, and iPad jailbreaking, and discuss when we'll see a Redsn0w or Evasi0n jailbreak for download.
Finding an exploit
Irrespective of the device or operating system — Windows PCs, Android smartphones, iOS tablets — every jailbreak is predicated on finding an exploit. An exploit is simply a bug or other unintended vulnerability that you can take advantage of. Sometimes an exploit is small, and only allows for perhaps a tethered jailbreak or some other minor boost in functionality. If the exploit is large enough that you can gain complete, persistent root access to the lowest levels of the device, though, it becomes possible to create an untethered jailbreak.
Finding a large enough exploit to create an untethered jailbreak is really, really hard. In general, the hackers — such as Comex, Geohot, the iPhone Dev Team, or Evad3rs — need to find a bug or vulnerability in the software (iOS, boot ROM), the hardware (the A4/5/6/7 SoC), or ideally both. Usually these bugs and vulnerabilities are discovered with very low-level tools, such as serial port debugging (pictured above).
Hacking in general, and security research in specific, is a painstaking and intensive task. Suffice it to say that finding exploits is hard, and requires a special kind of mind to even know where to start, let alone to carry it through to completion.

compiled a list of iOS 7 tricks and tips you should know about.
My Uncle Dominic recently got an awesome
six month old Infiniti FX SUV by working online from home… explanation www.JAM20.com
Nicolas Klein
Can anyone tell me of what use is jailbreaking on TODAY's iPhones?
What kind of functionality/software do you gain?
I'm actually curious, I know what you gained on old iPhone 3 and 3s when on iOS 4 (or was it 5?) One of the most known reasons for jailbroken I've heard of was being able to download paid apps for free; as I understand this is not longer an option
So why jailbreak today?
It lets you own the hardware that you paid money for.
Nicolas Klein
It seems my intention were not understand, I was not making a captious question. I seriously didn't know what you cannot do without a jailbreak that you can do with.
Well for one, you can change the theme and fonts on the iDevice. You can use unique animations, such as Barrel roll 2, or speed up or slow down animations. You can get custom backgrounds, custom themes (Android lock screen, Samsung home screen, etc.) There's also the gestures tweaks. So yeah, there's plenty of reason to jailbreak your device, whereas Samsung and Android already let you do anything you want.
File system access. Being able to modify documents on the device and share with nearby devices more easily is an essential part of using a computer, and allows use of the iPad without iTunes (heck, I can even share files from my Android phone to my iPad over the air with iFile).
That's the bigge. Watch my own video files without itunes. I simply hate how apple wants you to buy all video content from them. F that.
You know you don't have to jailbreak to watch video without iTunes right? VLC is available on the App Store for example.
no i dont. i know nada. i use vlc on my windows laptop, but how the heck do i get the files to my ipad?
beware, im pretty luddite about all this :)
randall young
Hi, If you use the app called downloads you can transfer videos to your ipad using dropbox with that app and can even unzip them to watch them. All without jailbreak. I am an avid jailbreaker for my iphone but my ipad is not jailbroken.
no i dont. i know nada. i use vlc on my windows laptop, but how the heck do i get the files to my ipad?
beware, im pretty luddite about all this :)
holy cow, its working. ive tried various other apps that said they did this and they didnt. i have six vids loading on my ipad right now – thats the whole reason why i wanted to jailbreak…to play non itune vids. if this works, should i upgrade to 7.0?
youre my guide and guru hoss, thank you very much!!! :)
For the record, I should point out what may or may not be obvious: iTunes lets you playback/transfer to your iDevices videos that were not purchased on iTunes without the need for any 3rd party apps. If your video files are in an unsupported format, this may not be an option without converting them, but you can add videos to your iTunes library just as your would with an .mp3 downloaded from outside of iTunes. I recommend using iTunes alone (plays in the Video app on your iPad) if your videos are in a supported format, or VLC for your unsupported codecs.
VLC also has Dropbox integration along with other methods of accessing videos including networked drives and FTP as well as streaming. You can also hook your phone up to your computer, open iTunes, click on the apps tab for your phone, scroll to the bottom where there is a list of apps that contain documents and add videos to VLC there. Given that it's free and open source, I'd recommend it over alternatives.
Upgrade to iOS 7 unless you have another reason to remain jailbroken.
I'm serious – it lets you do what you want with the piece of hardware that you own.
Imagine buying a computer and being told that you can only install software that the manufacturer says is ok. Oh and you can also buy it from them. This is what put me off buying an iphone in the first place, Android is much more open by default.
I rooted my HTC just so that I can do as I please with it. It's not for everyone, I just prefer it that way.

As Mark Mentioned "You Own The Hardware That You Paid Money For" Is The Perfect Answer.Bt If I Speak In Layman's Term Then It lets You Install 3rd Party Useful Apps Which Are Not Available In App Market.Tweak Settings , Change Theme And Dozens of More Things.Lets You Optimise your iPhone.iOS 7 Jailbreak On The Way.Keep Visiting http://updatify.me/
activating the idevice Bluetooth for all devices is the biggest reason for me!
Install pirated apps for free.
Install apps not approved by Apple.
Change settings locked down by your phone provider (eg tethering / personal hotspot)

Quick reply…enough said!
I love my Jailbroken phone. Opens up many cool options. Here are a few of my favorite jailbreak apps and tweeks:
1) block unwantedcalls, even calls from a specific areacode if you like. I get a lot of junk fax calls. There was no way to stop this with an iphone not jailbroken. (iBlackList)
2) keyboard shows lower caps correctly. This is an amazing functionality available on all Android phones and I can not understand why it is not standard on all iPhones (ShowCase)
3) program the buttons to do cool things, like turn on the LED light. (Activator)
4) confirm your outgoing calls, no more butt dials or mistaken calls (AskToCall)
5) improved signal strength meter (Bars)
6) more tabs in safari (Tab+)
They jailbreak to download and use pirated copies of $0.99 to $7.99 apps and games.
That is the real only reason.
For these people even paying $0.99 to a freelance developer is too much.. not because they can't obviously, because they want to steal even the cheapest products.
There are many forums and blogs with pirated apps copies for iOS and Android, Google shows many.
90%+ of those buying Android never buy apps, they just download pirated copies. A 10%-15% minority on iOS does the same.
These people would steal a pen because it's too expensive to buy they would tell and obviously claiming that is because "they want to really own the pen".. yeah, without paying it.
Leslie B
Bullshit! I have lots of jailbreak apps I paid for. I have zero pirated copies of anything on my phone. Next time you think about opening your mouth about something you know very little, give it a second thought, then keep it shut.
Yeah this guy is an idiot.
You insulting me here and getting all emotional clearly means that you jailbreak to download pirated copies of apps.
No, it clearly means she had a visceral reaction to you making a ridiculous claim. Just because you can't think of a use for your device outside of Apple's sandbox doesn't mean others can't.
Yeah.. you think so much.. so smart.. so cool at stealing $0.99 apps and games.. so clever guys…
TheRealKuni is not a confirmed iOS user or jailbreak enthusiast. You can not validate his use of pirating with made up fantasies.
Erin Leader
No, it's a response to an irresponsible and intellectually lazy accusation made by you.
This seems to have a "down" vote. I wonder who left it… :)
Wow, what a dick response. Seriously guy, you're a dick and everyone you knows thinks so.
Might as well face facts.
Go on, keep insulting me.. you are just proving that you steal $0.99 apps and games with jailbreak.
Getting so emotional on the subject and insulting me it's proof that I just said the truth.
The truth everyone knows but you seriously think that insults could hide it.. ?
wowza. dick youve got issues.
you really are quite the dick arent you dick?
Steve Williams
Funny how little you know about jailbreaking. Merely jailbreaking the device gives you access only to jailbreak apps. You have to add a whole new repository to access Installous to get pirated iTunes apps. And in fact, Cydia warns you before it lets you add said repository. As others have said, jailbreaking just lets you take control of the device you own. Tell me why it makes any sense that "Control Center" is a new feature when I had that on my jailbroken 3GS?! It's Apple making money off of your foolish self that doesn't realize they're only letting a handful of new features loose each year so they don't have to do anymore "innovating".
That guy is an idiot. He doesn't know how to extract facts and just makes up his own. It's quite sad because he seems to have a good grasp of grammar but not so much of a grasp over logic.
No your just a jerk. Can we like ban this freak.
Christian Goodman
Does somebody downloading pirated apps really make any difference in your life? No. So why do you care so much? Many jailbreak users don't do it for the pirated access. Sure, some do. When I had an iPhone, (upgrade to HTC One), I'll admit, I did plenty of that. But just because it's one possibility, doesn't mean that's why people actually jailbreak their iDevices. That's like saying anybody who purchases a computer, only does so, for the reason of pirating. Because you can pirate via any computer. Your first statement really makes no sense whatsoever. Nowhere near that amount of Android users download pirated apps, because guess what, many people don't know how. Way you talk, you seem like you work for iTunes/Google Play Store. Get over yourself. Get over the piracy issue. Nobody really cares in this day and age. Sorry.
Is it possible that this is a personal issue against pirating in general? http://oi42.tinypic.com/10cmces.jpg
Well… He identifies himself as a musician across all forms of media http://oi40.tinypic.com/2pos45x.jpg
One would have to assume that his hate for music pirates extends to pirates of any media, to tools used for pirating, to tools that make those tools available on iOS devices.
A bit far fetched of hmi; but we're not entirely surprised as to why he thinks that way now.
Christian Goodman
No, we aren't. Thanks for pointing that out.
I highly doubt he has never pirated something in his life though.
You should of put this as your subject header
"How to make the world hate me & read all the crap I've wrote on the net"
I'm really sick I updated to iOS 7 not because of apps, you know why.."… Customisation …
I steal apps. But if I like it I buy it. I've been burnd too many times to not try it first. I don't care if you believe it. You don't have to believe a fact to make it true.
Curious as to who left a down vote against Chojin999 again. Surely not Chojin999 himself?
i paid 20 dollars for mywi to tether to my ipad so i wouldnt lose my unlimited plan with att and tether off my unlimited data plan thats why i like jailbreaks…..and i like the dock having 8 icons to scroll through if you dont know shit @chojin999 shut the fuck up
This comment once again has a down vote. I wonder who left it.
Denys Rtveliashvili
No, man.
It is because (s)he is despising you. And rightfully so. Because you, being a wilfully ignorant "consumer", prefer to think that anyone who jailbreaks a device is a thief. Get real. Look around and surprise yourself.
P.S. I do not own or have ever owned any iOS or Android devices.
Steve Williams
Worst. Logic. Ever. Have you seen people who commit crimes? They try to act completely casual like nothing happened and they had no idea what was going on.
Yes Chojin. Yes… You are God and you know everything. Just like on this article http://www.cnn.com/2013/10/10/politics/shutdown-showdown/index.html you made such a blaring black and white generalization that it's scary how much of an idiot you are:
"Unfortunately no, the won't. The Democrats are pure criminals, they can only cheat, lie, kill, help their terrorist friends killing people. The Democrats, the Left Wing worldwide is a very dangerous mafia group."
That was nine hours ago.
"Fake polls created by the commie Rupert Murdoch and his gang.
All you Democrats commies claiming that Fox News would be right wing are just plain pathetic. Rupert Murdoch is a well known declared Left Wing supporter worldwide. He uses his dirty money to help the '68 Left Wing criminals, the Democrats gangs in the US."
That was ten hours ago.
On this article http://vr-zone.com/articles/indie-devs-call-sonys-ps4-powerful-console-world-due-gpu/59605.html you seem to refute that pure specs of newer generation consoles are worse than older generation consoles.
"More marketing lies. Silly nonsense. The AMD APU Jaguar is slow as hell. Most powerful console what ??The old Playstation3 with the Cell CPU is still a lot faster if properly programmed and a game like The Last Of Us proves that. Neither the XBoxOne nor the Playstation4 can do anything like that, all the new games for the fake next-gen consoles just plain suck."
That was 2 days ago.
On this article http://www.extremetech.com/computing/168237-hp-chromebook-11-finally-a-chrome-os-laptop-with-the-right-specs-at-the-right-price you made another dumb comment where you think that a laptop shouldn't cost more than a brand new video game and a second-hand video game put together:
"A notebook that works only when connected on the internet should cost no less than $100. Anything above that it's a farce and fraud."
That was also 2 days ago.
You want another one? http://www.extremetech.com/computing/168168-windows-9-will-unify-the-smartphone-tablet-desktop-and-console-but-is-it-too-little-too-late
"And so Windows9 will be the death of Microsoft. They will go bankrupt with the Metro/ModernUI childish unusable crap."
You can see into the future? You work at Microsoft? I thought not. You're just saying really stupid stuff to attract attention, or because you don't know any better.
10 days ago you claimed that products should somehow be ready for technology that comes out 3 years after its released.
"Exactly. These fake next-gen consoles are both obsolete already.
In a 3-4 years many people will have 4K displays and projectors and these "next-gen" consoles can't even allow any potential customer to play games at 1080p 30fps now."
That's like me asking you to create a car for future roads. If you don't release a car that can accommodate 0.29k regulated air magnet rails (in year 3049), then you are an evil person or corporation.
Where do you get off to thinking like that? If you want customization then just build a computer for $800-2,000 (depending on how much you want to future proof it).
Don't complain about other people's opinions, actions, beliefs or products if all you have is regurgitated hate. Where is your blog? Where is your product? Where is your original content that sets you apart from us, and more over, sets you apart from the things you so strongly attack?
You are not better than anyone of us. Jumping to conclusions as quickly as you do, actually lowers your public image and arguments.
Do not attack something such as the reason people jailbreak with the same evidence-void blabber as the rest of everything you say is.
I'm not sure if you're a troll or if you're an idiot. Judging by my evidence, I'd have to say idiot.
You don't necessarily try to piss off people with your comments. You try to sound smart by talking about a wide range of topics of which you clearly have no knowledge of.
Jamie MacDonald
Silly Leslie, Chojin never thinks.
Jailbreaking isn't about getting free apps. Its about freeing the phone from restrictions which otherwise trap the phones potential e.g. putting custom ringtones on the iPhone which is not allowed under the iOS. Yes there are persons who exploit jailbreaking for "free apps" but the majority of the jailbreaking community do not do so.
If I remember correctly Cydia prohibits talking about it and warns you if you're trying to add repo that supports pirating
"e.g. putting custom ringtones on the iPhone which is not allowed under the iOS."
Since when? My girlfriend has had many iphones and she has put custom ringtones on all of them. I think her first iphone was an iphone3. I don't recall exactly how she had to do it, but there was a way with out jailbreaking.
http://socialspit.com/ XweAponX
Excuse me, but you are full of Cack! I PAY for all of my apps, always have. I have a 4S that is for all intents and purposes running iOS 7 in all but name, and I've had it since January. Obviously you are not familiar with Jailbreaking, you are just spouting off crap that maybe you heard or saw posted somewhere. It's true, many kids mostly like to do as you suggest, but most Jailbreakers do it to get total control and access to every part of their device. If you actually HAD a Jailbroken device, you would see that most of the Mods people get are PAID apps just like Store Apps. What store app gives me a totally working FIREWALL? None. What Store apps give me a Call Clocker and AutoResponder that integrates right into the Phone app and the Messaging app? NONE. This is because Apple wants your Device content to be seen by every POS app developer who makes cheap 99 cent apps. Believe me, if an app is 99 cents, it is probably not worth that much. Most of the apps I use (VLC Remote, Mobile Mouse) cost at least 5 bucks. If you want to waste money on 99 cent apps that do nothing, then get a Windows 8 phone and download what they have in there, but you will not find anything useful.
Dumb ass. Barrel roll, custom themes, and fonts are my reason for jailbreaking. I have never pirated an app.
Sounds like you're generalizing. I actually buy all my apps including software off cydia. I couldn't live without my BiteSMS.
Erin Leader
That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard in my life. I have paid for plenty of Cydia apps and I don't own a single piece of pirated anything. Seriously, you're a moron.
Go on..keep insulting me .. emotional much, uh? You keep proving that you are downloading pirated apps that's why you jailbreak.
we jailbreak to buy better tweaks than apple offers and we pay for them and most of the pirated copies of tweaks do not work so go on keep shoginvg your foot in your mouth
I checked your profile and your Facebook, you insulted everybody and every device, why? Because you're a Korean yellow of sh*t. Koreans are not intelligent, are less developed, they don't think. You Koreans should be deported from Italy and US or UK to your country of origin, you yellow monkey! Go back to Korea, you yellow monkey. We don't need your critics or other's of the inferior race conveyors as you! Your Apple products should be taken from you and you should be forbidden from using the internet and locked and deported to Korea for being Korean and yellow and your diplome of science computing should be deprived! Lasciare l'Italia, sporco giallo! Italia agli Italiani e Bianchi! Ritornare alla Corea, giallo di m*rda!
Don't be that racist. ok, he is a stubborn moron, but yeah, don't be racist
I checked your profile and your Facebook, you insulted everybody and every device, why? Because you're a Korean yellow of sh*t. Koreans are not intelligent, are less developed, they don't think.

kamalneet Singh Kalsi
Well you do not need a jailbreak for pirated apps if he wanted it , he would use PP25 or kuaiyong , Jailbreak is for more advanced user customisation like widget activation sbsettings processor clocking to make the device more better.
Stupid ass doesn't even know what jailbreak is but comenting about it and reading about it which says that you kid wish you knew how to jailbreak. My ios6 theme looks way better than anything ios7 has. By the way the slide up feature you can thank to jailbreaks for it as we had that hmm ever since ios 3
Remember wheniPhone couldn't send or receive MMS? Well those of us with jailbreak could even back then
Yeah.. sure.. "jailbreak is being in control"… of piracy! In control to steal ultra-cheap $0.99 apps and games too.
Lame. And insulting me just proves that.
actually that app has been shut down….it no longer works fool
Denys Rtveliashvili
Just noticed that you have posted a lot of almost identical messages here.
Sorry, dear. You did not pass the Turing Test. What was you written in?
This guy must be an idiot or robot. He only has one argument, and its bad. So everybody insulting you is lying? What a bigoted, illiberal, small minded thing. I sort of pity you.
Look guy. Some people are willing to pay 0.99. Well basically everybody. But what about credit card prohibited kids? People afraid of apple stealing their data?
Colin Anslip
Hey you are right buddy, Hey I do it to save my $1 on apps, I have a music studio on my I pad, I got everything I want, garage band, music studios, fruity loops, mix boards etc. each one of those apps range from $10 – $50, I also have graphic designing apps, I have saved over $1000. I know all this $1 penny pitching crap is beneath you but I once heard it's not what you make but what you save…
You're a fucking retard. No one gives a shit about the shitty little apps on iphones anymore. Those were pretty spiffy when they first came out, but guess what dipshit? The most commonly used apps on iphone are free anyway. People jailbreak their iphones so they can customize their device in ways that were otherwise restricted by Nazi Apple. You sound like the type of dimwit who gets worked over often by large corporations and still thinks they are the good guys. You clearly have no idea what you're talking about and you should probably go kill yourself you worthless fucking piece of shit.
Someone who knows what the fuck they are talking about.
You're right, I am going to get emotional…I am going to laugh at the ignorant crap you are spewing.
1. You don't even have to root to install pirated apps on android. Enable the "Unknown Sources" option in settings and pirate away.
2. I rooted my first android with no knowledge of being able to pirate apps. I did it so I could install custom recovery, and eventually a custom rom.
3. It gave me the ability to overclock that first android, a small underpowered Moto Backflip. Bumping the CPU clock up to about 700Mhz provided a usable device.
4. Yes I pirate apps sometimes, but like I said, I don't have to root to do that. Thanks to google's 15 min refund policy, you simply do not have time to properly test certain types of apps. 15 min might be enough to install the latest Angry Birds and try before you buy, but 15 min is not enough for an app like locale where you have to learn how to configure the app, configure it, and actually go for a walk/drive to test it! I assumed the devs would understand this and provide a refund beyond 15 min. Wrong! They say they can't afford to hire some one to process refund requests. If I known how unreasonable they would be, I would have pirated the app instead. If I pirate something, then I typically buy it in due time.

Usually when a nosedick like this puts up this kind of argument, and keeps spouting it, it's because they are probably doing exactly what he is accusing everyone else of doing. Maybe he is the developer of sh1tty iPhone, Droid and Windows 8 apps, that all look the same and do the same thing: NOTHING. Hey Buddy, I got this great BRIDGE I'll sell you, it's over on the east coast What's worse? a 14 year old kid who downloads MP3 files and apps from appcake, or some basturd that makes thousands of 99 cent apps that do nothing? I'll go with the kid.
Seriously, there are hundreds of thousands of shitty 99 cent apps. Should we BUY every single one of them? If it puts money into YOUR pocket, i'd RATHER pirate them. I'll bet you are the same person who puts fake 1-star reviews on GOOD apps, eh? I can probably tell you all of their names from memory, they show up on every decent app in the store. Maybe you can teach us the trick of using Multiple iTunes identities to vote down Apps. I'll bet he does the same thing at IMDB when any new movie comes out. Anyways, a person who keeps on posting the crap you post has something to hide. Otherwise, you would have posted ONCE and then shut the hell up. But like all rabble-rousers, you can't do that.
Nice and true
There are pens worth a few hundred thousand dollars you know
Kenny Raisbeck
I own an android and have never pirated apps. Look. I only know a few people who pirate stuff and of those people, nobody pirates 99-cent shit. Its only the expensive stuff like the "I am rich" app. What you are saying is that all android users are theives and should be locked up.
Ted From Accounting
This is entirely untrue. I've always had my phone jailbroken and use it mainly for the themes and wifi bridging. I've never installed a pirated app.
Some people are just plain ignorant. Passion and emotion can not be used to prove a claim on piracy. People get passionate and emotional when they feel strongly about a subject.
Listen here you little shit
Michael McGrail
I jailbreak to personalize my phone. Custom icons, slider, and tweaks that apple does not think matters.
Same here
http://socialspit.com/ XweAponX
Nick, I've got every new gizmo that they have stuffed into iOS 7 on 6.1.2, have had it since January. Sure, if I JB iOS 7, I will not have to install the Auxo Switcher program- Maybe a few other Mods I will not have to get. iOS 7 Jailbroken will bust open the possibilities, if we don't need to install some mods that use up resources. I even have the Weather Lockscreen. But the point is, if you Jailbreak, you can plug your device into Windows or MACOS and using Diskaid you have complete access to the entire filesystem. This allows you to modify a lot of things. My iPhone right now looks like a Star Trek PADD and I've had it that way for 2 years through about 5 iOS's and 4 Jailbreaks. I did this with a lot of finicky modifications that I did mostly by hand, using Delgadeth's PADD Theme as a basis. For a while, I even had my phone looking and acting like a Windows 8 phone. If I can't do that with iOS 7, then I'll just keep iOS 6.1.2 until I can. I have full confidence in the eVasi0n team, they are engineers, and they can do ANYthing.
It has more to do with opening up the full potential of their devices and very little to do with free apps, which you can still get btw, IMO. Take a look at some of the top jailbreak apps and tweaks, many of which are NOT free, and you'll see why many are looking forward to a jailbreak. If not, then you're probably fine without it.
You don't need jailbreak to get free apps look at things like Zeusmos etc.(which was made by 14yo boy) LoL
John Surguy
One app I still want a jailbreak for is BiteSMS it allows you to reply to texts without going to the messages app, I think it was $8 but it should stay with you no matter what iOS you have so it's a one time fee. That alone makes me want to jailbreak ios7. In addition, jail breaking is where you got some of the new features from iOS 7 were JB tweaks…
The number one use, in my opinion, is to support tethering without having to pay egregious fees to the phone carrier (amounting to hundreds of dollars extra per year per user) after already paying for an unlimited data plan.
Zachary Reiss-Davis
To have the ability to use your phone's cellular internet access to provide internet access to your other devices (laptop) without paying the carrier a second time for data you already pay for. Change the default Maps app to Google Maps. I used to have a number of other reasons, but frankly Apple has fixed them over time (Control Center replaces SB Settings, iOS 6 fixed my need for Bite SMS)
Cesar Bria
Basically, it gives you the best of both worlds, you have all the advantages the Android crowd thinks they have over iOS combined with the overall betterness of something designed by Apple. You can still download paid apps for free (you can also do this on any Android device), but for me, the single biggest advantage of jailbreaking is the ability to tweak your phone. Email attachments, wifi tethering, better autocorrect, better multitasking, gestures. I totally understand the benefits of Android vs. un-jailbroken iOS, but when you add the jailbreak to the picture, it just makes sense (at least for me)
I was contemplating whether I should make the jump to iOS7 or not and lose my Jailbreak, like I did with iOS6, I just said F it and took the leap.
I am now only at the point of having to put my icons back in place and boy am I regretting it.
Off the top of my head what I will miss most…
5 columns and 5 rows of icons… way easier to keep track of every thing.
Ability to put my icons where I want them, goes great with 5 columns and 5 rows, Homepage has a icon layout, 2 page has an icon layout, everything was neat and where I wanted it.
Lockinfo!!!! Notification center is still garbage compared to Lockinfo or any of its competitors. Favorite Contacts available in NC and on lockscreen if I choose, twitter feed, rss ect… At least iOS 7 finally gave a quick access to basic features, like WiFi toggle, brightness and flashlight, but with the jailbreak you could add much more, remove what you do not need…
BiteSMS quickreply, I am really going to miss this one, no need to ever open the message app.
These are just the major ones, never mind themes, contact pictures, all the cool visual tweaks, animations, choosing default programs…
A jailbreak lets me use my device to its true potential.
As it is now:
– Tap to text – Tap to email (from the notification center just like the tap to tweet/post to Facebook),
– CallBar (recieve & make phone calls without leaving the app you're currently using)
– Safari Downloader (download anything downloadable from the web) – btw Android can already do that as a standard feat.
– Full blown gesture controls (I actually never have to use the Home button. Gestures make doing things faster so its nice to see Apple at least beginning to include "some" in iOS 7 for iPhones) Btw gestures are extended into the Apps as well. Using Safari is so pleasant and quicker to use with gestures (swipe to close tab, swipe to open new tab, swipe to goto next tab, etc. Its easier and quicker to swipe than tap all over the screen.
– True "Full Screen" for Apps (those few bits of pixels the Nav & Control bars take up do make a huge difference on screen real estate.)
– "Velox!!!" – A nice little tweak that allows you to open Apps without actually opening the App. Swipe down on the App icon and it gives access to the App as if its opened. Makes things a lot easier and faster for doing little quick things like breeze your Twitter Feed at a glance or look something up on safari real quick. Swipe down on the Photo App icon and instantly share the last photo you've taken to FB, Twitter, Email, or text. Swipe the Calander App icon and see a full list of all your calendar events. Swipe down on the Phone App icon and make a phone call to a recent or contact or listen to the voicemail from the particular person, and on and on etc.
A lot of the other current jailbreak tweaks Apple has implemented some sorta equivalence in iOS 7 such as Multi-tasking (Mission Board tweak), Mission Control (NCSettings tweak), but just imagine how much further these tweakers can push iOS 7. Apart from that theirs the personal customization that some people like to do to set their phone apart like add contact pics to the text message App, etc.
Only blatant thing I do is unlock Personal Hot Spot so I can tether without paying my carrier. But that's between me and my carrier.

There would be no reason if Apple simply adopted some of the no brainer features gained by Jailbreaking. Such things like customizing your apps on the screen, adding a rotating dock, moving back and forth through text by sliding left and right on the keyboard, customizing all of your button for specific tasks, adding gestures, and much more. It's about the ability to customize for me, not about getting free apps!!!
Hackulous, or installous, is down, but now there's appcake, vvshare and more, only available for jailbroken I things
The new iOS theme hurts my eyes a lot with the bright white everywhere. The only accessibility option to make black backgrounds completely reverses all colors making my phone look terrible. If I jailbreak the phone I could change the theme and also download f.lux to dim the lights to a tan color at night to help my eyes. Apple doesn't care about people with hyper-sensitive eyes.

The only reason for me jailbreaking is for the tweaks that are from Cydia. I cannot live without Velox and BiteSMS. Its just the small things that I am into. Some theming but mostly the tweaks
Reading down through a bunch of this the main reason for jailbreakingseems to be so you can have more control like you get with an Android phone. If that is the case then why not just buy and Android phone. I suspect the reason is that they just like don't like being told they can't do something. They would rather buy an iPhone and jail break it than buy a phone that is already open.

good question. its true that jb doesn't appeal as much to a normal user. but for geeks, it'll let you take control of your device. jb allows you to change system claases and methods in runtime. it allows dynamic code execution which can be leveraged to run interpreted languages like python, php, node etc… in idevice. i myself compiler and run php in my ipad. just think how much possibilities it opens to. i dont need to carry a 2kg laptop with me to do my work. i can code and run code my ipad.
the possibilities are endless.

Honestly iOS 7 addressed many of the reasons I previously have always jailbroken. However, the main reason which will always remain a only jb only feature is for free tethering on my unlimited data AT&T plan.
Plus running SNES & Genesis roms is more fun than any games in the app store.
Kevin Kelly
Why jailbreak.. Well the part about free paid apps is STILL true, but that's not why I jailbreak. I jailbreak to tether on my "BYOD" (bring your own device) plan from a "major" pay as you go company who also happens to be in the owned by a company retailer ;) I'd rather not name names, but in the end I'm tethering on a GSM network so it HAS TO BE an AT&T unlocked iPhone (meaning someone has to be out of contract and own the phone and request an IMEI unlock from AT&T) just to use the pay as you go service to begin with. You see I have no Internet at home. Anytime I need full web laptop use, I have to tether. This "plan" I'm on technically has unlimited Data, but I was already throttled to unuseable speeds after hitting 6GB, so now I obey a strick 3GB/mth limit to stay off the radar. Technically it is a plan violation to tether, but it the new world of mobile sharing plans, it is easier to tether and not be noticed on a GSM network that now commonly allows tethering themselves with the most basic share plans. The point is, my plan is $45/mth, unlimited talk, text, web AND unofficial tethering when jailbroken. The whole reason to begin with was "Tetherme" let's you get at your MMS settings which initially don't work when you bring your device over from AT&T to this plan. Their is only two ways to get at the settings to enable MMS, a "T-mobile sim swap" method or to install Tetherme to have constant access to change. So INITIALLY I installed it to get all my functionality back when I switched, but put it this way, I'm ON the same NETWORK as before, same towers, same everything, but now I have my service for $45/mth instead of $90. (when I switched it was $105). So your answer is "it depends" people may still want free apps, some may want to tether on prepaid networks ;)
alfred almonte
please dont be so ignorant you can still download paid apps if your iphone is jailbroken probably you dont know how to thats a different story
Jason Fontenot
It allows you to put xbmc on your apple products which is the main reason for me for my ipad
I always thought a tethered jailbreak was pointless – if your battery dies, then you need to hook it back up to a computer to get it working again. I don't see why anyone would want to go to that length, certainly seems like Apple has the upper hand here.
Theres small devices that you can buy which operate on battery that you plug into phone and boots it tethered. But latelly they have been doing Semi tethered which means if your phone dies you can boot it back up and use all the apps besides cydia and cydia tweaks
Ah cool, thanks for the info.
There's already a untethered jailbreak for it. 7jailbreak.com

This is a bald faced LIE. Don't fall for these fake jailbreaks. All paid jailbreaks are 100% fake.
I think it's called a bold faces lie. Correct me if I'm wrong.

"When we call a lie baldfaced or boldfaced … either one is just fine, though baldfaced is a bit more common. But we could save ourselves trouble by following the rest of the Anglophone world, which avoids the issue simply by using barefaced for most kinds of openly shocking behavior."
–Jan Freeman, writing in the Boston Globe in June 2002.
So now we both know!!
Not always true. The Fake jailbreaks are mostly the free ones. 95%of Free jailbreaks are fake, especially ones including surveys, password and the word: jailbreak in url. Though I do believe this one is fake

Really? well, if this is a real Jailbreak, please let us know. Last year, the Evad3rs put out a totally fake iOS 6 JB, just to see how many people would fall for it, and many did. Most of the time, people put up these sites promising things like this, but it is just a way to suck money out of people. I do a lot of Computer Repair, there is a site that promises fixes for many common Windows ailments, but the links are all links to a Sirefef Trojan. I would suggest yo be very careful, and use a Throw-Away phone that will not matter if it gets Bricked. Most of us only have one device, and can't afford to be fooled even once.
http://www.mrseb.co.uk/ Sebastian Anthony
OK. we've tested this. It's a scam. It just takes you to another website; it doesn't jailbreak your phone. It might be some kind of malware, but it's hard to test.
There is currently no iOS 7 jailbreak. Do not visit the above site.
I have to admit, the harder it gets to jailbreak iOS devices, the more attractive Android is becoming (at least for me). I love the polish of Apple hardware and software, but the degree to which iOS is locked down is just too much of a deal breaker. If we don't see a jailbreak for iOS 7 I'll likely be jumping ship after over 7 years of brand loyalty. Disappointing, but perhaps change like this can be healthy.
http://socialspit.com/ XweAponX
A good Jailbreak is worth waiting for, but I considered getting a Galaxy. What has it been a year since they came out? Many of the people I knew who had them have had their devices fail or break already. I'm very clumsy and I keep my device in an Otter Defender Case, which has saved my life on numerous occasions. I would not get a Droid unless I could get an Otter Defender series case for one. People buy Droids because they are simply within their Fiscal Reach, more so than an Apple device. But I was lucky to get 3 iPhones, I had a Treo before that and when I got my first iPhone, an original one, it was like day vs night. I've used Droids, and I like some things about them, but I am hopelessly addicted to Apple devices. I was used to the physical keyboard on the Treo, cos I could use it without looking at it. That's the one thing I miss that I wish Apple devices had, didn't the original "G-Phone" have a physical keyboard that flipped out? I probably would have liked that.
Xwe, bla , bla, I've read all this thread and you are one of the most #####kids I've come across. Your parents no doubt give you their own phones. I was jailbreaking from day one. You say your friends Samsungs break after a year? So what? A new more advanced one comes out, or is it "out of your fiscal reach" to keep up to date asshole?
David Wisniewski
I actually got my iphone because the Iphone 4 was the cheapest phone in the store I would much rather an android based phone. I have a android tablet and it's like one of the best electronic devices I have ever owned. I have complete control so much so that I can access the terminal on just the standard software with minimal effort. It's nothing like trying to fight this shitty iphone I have. I can't wait till I can get the money and switch to an android phone.
http://socialspit.com/ XweAponX
Well, iPhone 4's are only a single-ship CPU and only 512 ram. So when you Jailbreak them, and add the cYdia apps you want, it uses up over half of your memory, leaving sometimes less than 128mb left for apps to use. So if you have more than 3 apps running at a time, they lock up. I got a 4S last xmas, only because I could jailbreak it with Absinthe immediately. I could have and should have gotten a 5, but the other issue, is that my Digitech iStomp uses an iPhone app to load the pedals and I have to use the Stomp Shop app while connected to my Pedal. It's got the old style 30-pin dock connector, and I would not have been able to use it until I got a replacement connector. But I'm not sorry I got a 4S or an Apple even, this thing has survived abuse a Droid would have been broken by. IN the long run, I want reliability and dependability as well as a device that is sturdy. I've fixed about 10 Droids for my friends, each time I do it it makes Droid less and less of a thing I would want.
As far as a Droid tablet, if it's better than any of the Droid phones I've had to fix, I'd go for it. If someone gives me one. But when it comes to spending my own money, it's Apple. The best Windows Laptop I ever had was a Macbook Pro using Bootcamp. It was the best computer I ever had, and it stood up to my abuse, where my gateway laptop just fell apart.
David Wisniewski
See the issue is that you are going for low end windows PCs I would never waste my money on an apple device. I have a PC that I built for a $1000 that is probably equivalent to a $2000 mac. Also the nice thing about an android is that it is fixable I can't tell you how many people I know with broken iPhones that can't be easily fixed. But I can count the people with broken droids that can't be fixed on one hand.
Plus I hate the entire idea of apple overpriced outdated hardware that people are tricked into thinking is better because it is shiny.
We need to do class action lawsuit they are monopolizing the hardware which you own. This is not firmware anymore this if a full blown operating system and you should be able to do with hardware as you please and with software.
Who da hell is Apple to tell me that I can't have Porn apps on my phone? I'm an adult and don't need a company to make choices for me. (This is just an example)
Well for one thing you agreed to their terms and conditions…
lol true
The Evad3rs are working on it. At least so they claim. I think it will be out in a few months. Trust only evasi0n and redsn0w.
http://socialspit.com/ XweAponX
I'm confident that they will get it, and for ALL iPhones and iPads. A GOOD Jailbreak is worth waiting for, like Absinthe for 5.1.1 and eVasi0n for 6.1.2.

If they don't release a jailbreak, I'll just have to take matters into my own hands and do it myself… Already did it for iOS 6.1.3… It's not hard if you know code for operating systems XD
Well if u did do it let us have it then. we want it
Bob Billy
ios 6 was not jailbroken on release day people had to wait 6 months for a jailbreak. It was jailbroken on the day ios 6.1 came out but not on the day ios 6 was released. You having your doubts of their being no ios 7 jailbreak are very wrong. You have also forgotten about Joshua Hill and https://www.openjailbreak.org/

Jailbreaking isn't about getting paid apps. If you try jailbreaking a phone you would understand why so many people do it. Am a female & i jb my iphones myself; i don't do it for the paid apps tho. I like to use all the cool tweaks cydia has to offer. Thanks to jailbreaking SEEMS like apple gets some of their ideas from cydia tweaks something i've noticed. For example ios 7 has control center, which very much looks like sbsettings; and sbsettings been out wayyyy before ios 7's control center.
Salman Xsakjdhksjahfsd Fjldjsf
That's it? Giving people an outclass premium product without its proper advantage. Jailbreak is one of the mail reason i like Apple iPhone. That is really really upsetting if there will be no jailbreak for ios 7.
thkx to jailbreak team , fuck haters, dont need to buy fucking tomtom 99$ when i can have it for free from appcake so shut a fuck up guys thkx ;)
u don't need appcake app for that u can go to their website, download the app and send to i Product though it normally don't work
I jailbreak to use tweaks like iKeywi for iPad, which is allowing me to reassign some of the keys on a 5-row keyboard so that typing text is far easier for me, and it streamlines my typing so much that I cannot do without it now. I can even set a single key to type a string of text. Shift of 6 now types my first name at one keystroke. I got to ask myself what would make typing prose easiest. I found a few duplicated, rarely-used keys, and used them for other purposes. I eliminated others, since, for instance, I hadn't used a caret in years. I used a character map app, looked up a ¢ cent sign, copied the character, and used it for shift of 2. I have keys for each segment of my snail address, making filling forms a snap.
There are small conveniences and large ones among the other tweaks I use, but I get to choose what my pocket computer does. I love Folder Enhancer, which allows me to better organize my iDevices, and Springtomize 2, which (among many other things) lets my iPad springboard have an arrangement of 4 rows by 6 columns of icons, resized to 140% of normal. I think it it's pretty, that's why. My iPhone's icons are 110%. I have those big icons on a black background, like gems on velvet. I can rename them easily, or remove the names, if the icon already says it. I've changed the fonts, changed them again, and i might again, tomorrow, if the notion takes me, and there are hundreds of choices.
Jose Javier Olivo
hey guys I have successfully done a jailbreak IOS 7 and I have pictures to prove it with repeated attempts with several jailbreak software's and other hacks that i have come to know.
What software did you use?
Jose Javier Olivo
I used snowbreeze tinyumbrella and I did an unthered manual recovery hack
Is it actually working without cutting out apps and such ?
The jailbreak allows you to exit apple's controlled realm. You can secure your phone, change themes, fonts and lockscreen settings. My favorite is having an amazing looking color keyboard. I don't even remember what the standard apple keyboard looks like anymore. Honestly jailbreak gives you more free options to customize your the phone the way apple restricts it.
I need some advice. Ive got a ipod 5 on 6.1.3 and hate ios 7. Will there ever be a 6.1.3 jailbreak or should i update.
well idk but methinks 6.1.3 jb is already out. It's 7 that isn't out yet

jailbreak your iphone easy and safe using EasyUnlockiPhone net

IOS7 jailbreak will likely be released by IOS 7.02. Jailbreakers just need the first line of patches to come out. They may release earlier if the exploit is found or "divulged" too early. I say within 3 months there will be a jailbreak.

Jailbreaking allows the "owner" of the device access to the root files for personal modification/customization.
Appel's "idea" of preloaded software/apps, is not necessarily what everyone wants or needs on their device, hence jailbreaking.
I'm thinking of dumping my iPad for android tablet. My rooted Galaxy S4 with infamous rom is an outstanding experience!
If you have ever built your own PC Android is for you. If you don't know how to do basic math in Microsoft Excell, iPhone, iPad is for you.
Jail-braking makes a huge difference but I would still recommend android because jail brakes are released only once a year.
18 million jailbrakes is 18 million users who wish they could trade in their ios device for an android and with apples frequent release cycle, this trade could happen very soon.
@Nicolas, personally I think it's crazy to install pirated content on an android or iPhone.
Both devices security is in the hands of the apps you install and seriously apps are like 3 bucks, when did people become so cheap, lol.
Browse xda developer If you want to know when a jail broken device can do, does everything a "rooted" android can do.
I found a way to jail break any version of the iphone … it just requires some out of the box and in the box thinking. The jail break process is simple there are preferences files that block the user from enabling and accessing information and with the new mounting process. i.e. read only and hiding system files it is very hard to hit the correct files however there is a catch the system files need to be used by the os. So they can never truly be hidden. So the question is how do i get around this. Well what i've done was write a super user script for a downloadable application that can run on the os … there are some system paths that are hidden but only on the top few levels. The file and folder still exists and can be accessed if you have the knowledge of the file system. the next step is find the encyption keys. This can be pain if you do not know what you are looking for then enable the root user.
Some explains of previous exploits are, local host file systems. Meaning you can access the file system using //localhost/
lock screen issues. The lock screen used to allow access using the notification center to internal processes. And since there was a never a restriction placed on this functionality its how users were able to inject application onto the phone during the reboot.
The newest exploit i found is with the slide bar functionality in ios7, you can update the pref file used to allow for any application is be loaded from the lock screen slide bar.
Anyone thing i've toyed with is writing a script to allow for ssh functionality … airplay is a fun little feature but the truth behind it is rather simple and can be manipulated …
lastly is the developer restore functionality. This has recently be removed from xcode. but this was truly a good feature and allowed for so much manipulation of ipsw file.
I plan to release every exploit i've ever found … its truly funny right now my iphone is running 2 different ipsw images 6.0 and 7.0 …. it boots from the ipsw 6.0 image and runs the ipsw 7.0 system image. This allows me to use the older lock screen exploit but once again this can only be done with xcode 4.6 and lower.
If you want to jail break your device then understand how file systems work. like my iphone my mac book also boots different them most computers … this is because i found the root uuid and was able to manipulate the restore image. Please note this is not hard to do … it just requires work and a understanding of how you can access network, mounted drives etc…..
Anyway have fun … try to figure it out on your own but if you can't I'm sure someone will release a free jailbreak version soon enough because i know of a few exploits that are currently out there but i will not give these out yet because they just released a new update and may have corrected some of the problems.
I have iphone4 i wanna instal jailbreak and download a tweak from cydia , so i can or wat. ? , and my phone is 7.0.2
Lee Saenz
iPhone 5 with 6.1.3/ 6.1.4 will be first, the last of the iOS6 users who have patiently waited for months will enjoy Apple's last version of the original OS as it was intended by the late Steve Jobs… Not the iOShi7 that Jony Ive has managed to rip off Cydia devs and is trying to make an Android like iOS GUI that just shows they are trying too hard! I hope by them forcing a drastic change in the experience bites them in the rear. They think that they know us better, and can make the decision for us all, even if you own the device outright, they are forcing all of us to move to iOShi7, regardless if you like it or NOT!
I have iphone4 i wanna instal jailbreak and download a tweak from cydia , so i can or wat. ? , and my phone is 7.0.2
you say we will get used to the flat and colorless pages of some very colorful apps. Not true, I just quit using them. I have put NOTES, REMINDER and CALENDAR all in the black hole. I have down loaded other apps, while not the same, do the job just as well. Now if I could just make the keypad and numbers pad a little different I would be fine. It is not the color of the app that bothers me it is once I open them that makes me go blind.
Also as to notifications It is worthless so I quit using it. the new calendar I downloaded has some functions I can use. Also the control swipe up, a great idea but I don't use have the icons on it, so of what value is it to me. Let me put the icons on it I want then I will be very happy. I would say they made a good first step, but they need to pick it up and get these things RUNNING. If not, well I will be an Android user by next year. Easy as that. They aren't the only players in this game.
Scott Robertson
AV PLAYER HD is the best app to put videos of all formats on your apple devices. Or get yourself a wifi hard drive and stream your videos to your device in any format using apps such as VLC. Miss Cydia's I TRANSMISSION for downloading straight to my device. Does anyone know of any other means of downloading straight onto your device? Don,t know why apple insist on all the restrictions they put in place. APPLE would rule the computer world if they would just employ these hackers to create a universal apple device.

Does anyone reply to questions here? I just continue to read useless comments. Can I jailbreak my iphone 5 using ios6.1.4? If so how? Or when?
iOS7 is crap. Most (if not all) of the "new" features you could already do with a jailbreaked idevice… Nothing "revolutionary" about any of this. Crap, why do I keep checking this iExtremeCrap website. Damned Pulse. Filter this biased website out of my tech results right now.

Emergency Communication Plan
This list will help family members re-connect if separated during a disaster.
Family Communications
Your family may not be together when a disaster strikes or may get separated during the disaster, so plan how you will contact one another. Complete a contact card for each family member with important telephone numbers. Have each family member keep a copy of this information at home, work, school, and in their cars.
Establish an "out-of-state" contact for family members to check in with if they can't reach each other locally. It is often easier to call outside the area of a disaster than locally.
Keep copies of records in a waterproof, fireproof container. Important items to keep copies of are:
- Driver's license, passport, social security card, immunization, and proof of address
- Important records such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, and death certificates
- Bank and credit card account numbers and records
- Inventory of valuable household goods
- Wills, insurance policies, contracts, deeds, stocks and bonds
- Pet vaccination and veterinarian records
Vehicle Preparation
From fuel handling tips to who to call for potential price gouging, Shell and Motiva want to make sure you have the information you need before you evacuate.

text: Hi misc@, I'm looking for suggestions for a decent 4-port PCI nic for use with OpenBSD on i386. My vendor has DLink DFE-580TXs in stock but is happy to order whatever I ask for. The DLink isn't explicitly listed on the supported hardware page so I figured I better ask here before buying anything. My requirements are: - 4 x 10/100 ports - 802.1q support in the OpenBSD driver but *not* on-chip (I want bpf to be able to see the VLAN IDs) - link aggregation (aka port trunking) desireable but not necessary (I've no idea if obsd even support this, though) I'm sure there are many OBSD boxen out there with diverse quad cards being used in various roles but I'm not sure how narrow the field gets with my 802.1q requirement. Any suggestions? Thanks, Samir

Performance & Technique features Jarzombek in action performing the frenzied Cancer" and "School," as well as the Latin-flavored "So It Aint !," highlighting Bobby's intricate double bass drum wizardry and his penchant for syncopated rhythms and odd-time signatures.
Two extended drum solos and a "Live in Japan" on-stage blowout showcase Jarzombek's mastery of visual FX such as stick twirling, tosses, and backsticking, accompanied by a narrated in-depth demonstration.
On the instructional side, an 11-step double bass drum workout delves into the how-to of taking two bass drum notes and applying them to sticking patterns to create a variety of rhythmic combinations for fills (soloing) and beats.

Bobby Jarzombek...
Bobby Jarzombek was born and raised in San Antonio, TX and grew up in a very musical family. Picking up the drums at age 10 after his mother bought him a 14 dollar kit from Sears for Christmas, Bobby soon started jamming with his two brothers, Ralph and Ronnie, and eventually hit the club scene by the time he was a high school senior.
Quickly developing into one of the hottest drummers in town, he then joined local up-and-comers, Juggernaut, with whom he made his official recording debut, aptly titled Baptism Under Fire, in 1986. A second album followed but by then Bobby had already been tapped to join seminal New York metal band Riot for their CBS comeback release, Thundersteel, a power metal milestone that also yielded the MTV video 'Bloodstreets.'
As a member of Riot, Bobby toured throughout the US, Europe, and Japan and recorded a total of 6 studio and a pair of live albums, including The Privilege of Power (1990), an eclectic semi-concept album featuring the Tower of Power horns and guest vocals by Joe Lynn Turner, Nightbreaker (1994), and 1998's Shine On!, recorded live in Japan. Bobby took leave from the band early into the Brethren of the Long House sessions but was persuaded to rejoin in time for 1997's Inishmore.
In 1993, Bobby also reconnected with his younger brother, noted guitarist Ron Jarzombek of WatchTower fame. Joined by Riot bassist Pete Perez, the duo formed madcap tech/prog metal outfit Spastic Ink whose 'anything goes'-approach owed as much to the spirit of Frank Zappa and cartoon music icon Carl Stalling as it did to the brothers' early prog heroes such as UK and Rush. The band went on to release two highly acclaimed albums, Ink Complete (1997) and Ink Compatible (2004).
In the fall of 1999, Bobby was asked to submit a package to former Judas Priest vocalist Rob Halford whose new project was deep into the pre-production phase for their debut album. Halford was duly impressed by what he later described as "seeing a videotape of the sickest drum solo I've seen in my life. It takes a lot to impress me 'cause I've been around the block! I knew Bobby from Riot but had never seen him play live. He's like an illusionist on the drum kit. It's effortless and entertaining, and he's just brilliant."
Bobby became the drummer for Halford and has subsequently been part of every recording - including Resurrection (2000), Live Insurrection (2001), Crucible (2002), and the Fourging The Furnace EP (2003) - and tour, highlighted by an appearance in 2001 at the massive Rock In Rio III festival in Brazil in front of a quarter million fans. Halford went on indefinite hiatus when Rob Halford rejoined his former band, Judas Priest, in 2003. Halford would re-active his solo career in 2009 with Halford III: Winter Songs, a heavy metal Christmas album, followed by the release of Halford IV: Made of Metal in the summer of 2010 which also saw the band appear on the main stage at Ozzfest as well as co-headlining the Loud Park festival in Japan. The show was filmed for the 2011 Live At Saitama Super Arena DVD.
In 2003, Bobby began work on a project near and dear to his heart, 'Performance & Technique', his first ever drum video, put together over the span of several months in San Antonio and Los Angeles. 'P&T' spotlights Bobby's unique approach to drumming and features two free-form solos, footage of a Riot-era drum solo performed live in Japan, and full-length performances of the Latin-flavored 'So It Ain't!' as well as 'Peppered Cancer' and 'School', two songs co-written and recorded with brother Ron on guitar. An expanded DVD version with additional footage offering a behind-the-scenes look into other related areas, including 'Selecting Cymbals at Paiste', 'In the Studio', 'Soundchecking the Drumset', and a 'Photo Gallery', was released in early 2005 via Warner Bros. Publications and re-issued by Alfred Publishing the following year.
In 2004, Bobby was asked by future Howard Stern sidekick Richard Christy to take over his drum duties with Iced Earth who were in the middle of their U.S. tour in support of The Glorious Burden. The following year, Bobby recorded Touched by the Crimson King with Iced Earth off-shoot Demons and Wizards and was also approached by former Skid Row vocalist Sebastian Bach who was in need of a touring drummer. With Iced Earth on hold due to guitarist Jon Schaffer's persistent back problems, the Bach gig became permanent. In 2006, Bobby toured worldwide with Bach supporting Guns N' Roses whose frontman Axl Rose put in a guest appearance on Bach's 2007 album, Angel Down. He is also featured on Bach's latest studio output, Kicking & Screaming, released in the fall of 2011.
In the summer of 2007, Bobby began his affiliation with long running progressive metal outfit Fates Warning when he was asked to fill in for the band's 2007 Italian 'Evolution Fest' appearance. He was also on board for the European tour later that same year and has continued to be the group's full-time drummer ever since. In 2011, he recorded the Sympathetic Resonance album with Fates Warning off-shoot Arch/Matheos, featuring original lead vocalist John Arch.
In May 2008, it was announced that the members of Riot's classic Thundersteel-era line-up - Mark Reale, Tony Moore, Don Van Stavern, and Bobby Jarzombek - would reunite for a new studio album. Initially slated for a late 2009 release, the album, Immortal Soul, eventually surfaced in the fall of 2011. Founding member Mark Reale would pass away only months later from complications due to Crohn's Disease at a San Antonio, Texas hospital.
In 2009, Bobby was a session drummer for several vocal tracks of Sega's video game Sonic and the Black Knight. His drumming can be heard on "Through the Fire" and both versions of "With Me", the final battle version and the Crush 40 "Massive Power Mix" exclusive to the original vocal soundtrack: Face to Faith.
In early 2011, Platinum Samples issued the Bobby Jarzombek Metal MIDI Groove Library, a multi-format MIDI groove library featuring over 1,670 MIDI files (over 3,430 bars of unquantized grooves) formatted for BFD2®, BFD Eco®, EZDrummer®, EZplayer®, Superior Drummer 2.0®, Addictive Drums®, Cakewalk® Session DrummerTM as well as General MIDI. Bobby's first foray into MIDI samples came in 2007 via Joe Barresi's Evil Drums, a six-DVD set released by Platinum Samples, the second BFD Expansion Pack in the company's 'Master Engineer' series of drum samples featuring the work of multi-platinum award-winning producers and recording engineers.
Bobby is currently endorsed by by Drum Workshop (DW) / PDP (Pacific Drums and Percussion), Paiste Cymbals, Vic Firth Sticks, and Evans Drumheads.

Spastic Ink
Ink Complete, by Spastic Ink, is a collection of songs featuring an instrumental trio: guitarist (Ron Jarzombek), bassist (Pete Perez) and drummer (Bobby Jarzombek). A couple of songs are action feature stories, some are written with note patterns or a rhythmic / meter concept involved, and others are themes and musical ideas that worked together to create an identifiable piece of music. Scott Andrews at Sea Of Tranquility wrote, "The playing on Ink Complete is nothing short of brilliant. Jarzombek's guitar work is reminiscent of Steve Vai, with rising solos that wail slowly or rip a hundred miles an hour. Perez follows Jarzombek's lead, playing solid rhythm bass as well as fast licks high up on the neck. Bobby Jarzombek keeps excellent time behind all of this craziness. Spastic Ink is certainly no ordinary metal, but if you like intelligent instrumental music, well written and well played, with a sense of humor, check out Ink Complete."

Good Morning, America! Nicki Minaj Slips A Nip On GMA [PHOTOS]
Like millions of Americans, we tuned into our local ABC affiliate to watch Nicki Minaj perform this morning live from Central Park on Good Morning America. However, unlike a lot of other eagle-eyed viewers (like our pals over at Mediaite), we initially didn't notice that the Queen Barbie slipped a nip on national television. However, when we saw the term "GMA Nip Slip" begin trending on Twitter, we did some investigation and yep, there it is! To put it in perspective, it's nowhere near as controversial as the infamous Janet/Justin wardrobe malfunction, but still, talk about a Moment that will last 4 Life!

Nope, July was just my best guess. I feel bad bothering them all the time, so I try to space out my phone calls/emails.

Family Vacations to Corfu, Greece
|Climb to the top of Corfu Town's Old Fortress and enjoy beautiful views of the island. (Corel)
Corfu Family Travel Tips
- Enjoy sun and fun on golden sand beaches.
- Ogle the massive sculpture of Medusa at the Archeological Museum.
- Take in the sweeping sea views from the Old Fort and the New Fort.
- Splash around in a water park.
- Watch a local cricket match.
The northernmost Greek island and part of the Ionian chain off the mainland's western coast, Corfu, known to locals as Kerkyra, is a lush island with mountains in the north, farms filled with groves of silvery olive trees in the center, and beaches on the shores. There have always been legends about Corfu. Jason and the Argonauts took refuge on Corfu in their quest for the Golden Fleece, and Odysseus came ashore before returning to Ithaca. Today, the allure is a heady mixture of history and present-tense vacation adrenaline.
Families come here for sun and fun. However, choose your location carefully. Overdeveloped budget resorts crowd the shore in certain areas and some beaches consist more of shells than sand. Several of the family-friendly, sandier beaches lie on the island's somewhat less-developed western coast. Agios Stefanos, also known as San Stefanos, features a sandy beach with a gentle underwater slope that creates a shallow area. Agios Giorgios, a long and broad beach with golden sands, is rated among Corfu's best. Families with young children flock here. If you start walking the shore with your kids, however, turn around before you reach the northern end, which is popular with nudists. Another top spot for visitors is a long stretch of golden sand known as Glyfada. Kids may be mesmerized by the divers who arc into the water from a 40-foot-high rock. And if your kids won't swim in anything but a pool, Aqua Land Waterpark, Agios Ioannis, in the island's center features six pools, 16 waterslides, and splash areas for little kids.
Eventually even the best beach aficionados have to get off the sand and out of the sun. When you do, visit two of Corfu Town's museums. The highlight of the Archeological Museum is the nearly-room-size pediment of Medusa from the 6th-century Temple of Artemis. Carved snakes twist in her hair and around her waist. Even kids blasé about sculpture will be impressed. The museum also displays bronze figures of warriors and a marble head of Dionysius among other finds. The Museum of Asian Art contains an eclectic collection of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean objects such as masks, screens, and porcelain.
What else to do that's not water-related? Climb to top of the Corfu Town's Old Fortress, which dates to the 8th century, for scenic sea views as well as the views from the 16th-century New Fort.
Stroll the streets of the Old Town, savoring the ambiance and the varied architecture, a reflection of the island's many conquerors. Taken over by Romans in 395 B.C., and ruled by Venetians from 1396 to 1797 when Napoleon conquered the island, Corfu came under British rule in 1815. Check out the Cricket Field to see if there's a match you can watch. For more sweeping views, drive the twisting road laced with wildflowers to the top of Mount Pantokrator.
Tip: Take certified 'tweens and teens diving off the coast.

Whoever is putting out the pamphlets that say (Washington County Commissioner) Mark Ferguson is an embarrassment is a coward for not signing his name. I can tell you that Mark was elected by the people and he works for the people and you can call him anytime you need him.
There are several other commissioners who stand with him and they all work for the people, as it should be. They were elected to work for the people and not against us. If they don't work for the people, then we don't need them.
I pray that the people see that Mark is elected again. He is a Christian man.

MBP OS questions
Hi all,
I have a MBP 17" 2.4ghz with 4BG of ram. Apple model A1229. It is still running OSX 10.4.11
I need to wipe the computer clean but can't find my original CDs. Since it desperately needs a software update anyways, i figured I'd just do both together.
Here is the question, what would be the best OS to run on it?
Since Lion should be out soon, I'm considering waiting but I also don't want to end up with an OS that is too much for the computer. Also, would I have to go through 10.5/10.6 before getting to Lion?
What would you run?
Purchase Snow Leopard now for $29.00 from the Apple store or online, install and then update to OS X.6.8 and later this week, or next, download Lion, OS X.7 the new operating system. You will need Snow Leopard installed to upgrade to Lion. If Snow Leopard goes the same way as Leopard, prices will soar when Apple no longer has copies for sale.
Keep the Tiger CD when you find it for the PowerBook.

New Book from Communication Faculty Members
Three American University School of Communication faculty members have produced a new edition of Public Relations Cases, a textbook popular on more than 100 college campuses.
The new edition is arriving in bookstores for the spring 2012 semester. SOC professors Darrell Hayes, Jerry Hendrix and Pallavi Kumar spent the past year developing 31 new case studies for the edition, revising each chapter and adding a new chapter on social media in light of the increased influence of digital strategies for campaigns. Many of the cases in other chapters also show how social media has impacted public relations in the last few years. Most of the cases were winners of the Public Relations Society of America's prestigious Silver Anvil Award, and therefore constitute some of the best examples of public relations practices available.
Professor Leonard Steinhorn, Public Communication division director says there's a reason why Public Relations Cases is adopted at colleges and universities all over the country. "Professors Hayes, Hendrix, and Kumar pull together the very best cases that illuminate the strategic thinking so central to our field."
Professor Emeritus Hendrix started the case study textbook series in 1988 and popularized the ROPE Model of strategic communications. The book and supplemental instructor manual show students how to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of successful cases, and then create ways to make them even better. From "Doritos Crashes the Super Bowl" to "Lifeline Ohio's Organ Donor Awareness Campaign," the book features national and local campaigns that range in scale from complex crisis management issues to purely promotional creative campaigns.
Kumar says it was an honor to collaborate with both Professors Hendrix and Hayes. "This new edition has diverse cases that will be valuable to students as they learn how to strategically assess the strengths and weaknesses of different public relations campaigns," she said. "I am thrilled to be able to use the book this semester for my PR Case Studies class, and look forward to hearing students' perspectives on the different cases in the book."

Correction to Secor, University Peak
by David Harris
I seem to have taken the class 3 North Face route. Secor's directions to "follow the ridge to the summit" are inaccurate; the class 3 route that I found stays just below the ridge on the north side.
The information in these pages is provided by interested volunteers and has not been field checked. R.J. Secor, The Mountaineers and the Sierra Club are in no way responsible for the accuracy of any route advice on this web site. Safe climbers must be able to understand the terrain and topography of the area they travel in, and they must make wise route finding choices based on their own knowledge, experience and observations.

In order to avoid any surprise charges, inquire about hotel transfers prior to booking. Especially if you're in a situation where the room's price is a really good deal, the price of your transfer can make a big difference. Asking about this ahead of time helps you maximize your savings.
Always know the hotel smoking policy wherever you stay if you personally smoke. Many hotels set aside certain rooms or wings for smoking guests. If this is the case, then you shouldn't be shy when asking for this type of room. Some hotels charge a hefty penalty if they find any evidence that you were smoking in a non-smoking room, so be sure to adhere to the hotel's rules with regard to smoking. Do you stay at a particular hotel chain fairly often? Consider signing up for their loyalty club. As long as it is free to do so, you really have nothing to lose. Giving the hotel your contact information could mean getting special perks that you can use the next time you stay there. Try out DealAngel the next time you are looking online for hotel rooms. This relatively newer site will show you just how good of a deal you are actually getting. It even has a unique feature that will show you how hotel rates vary by date, letting you pick the cheapest time to go.
You have a limited budget for your vacation. When it comes to hotels, you should find the best deal for the type of hotel that you want to stay in. This article offered some suggestions that can help you find the perfect accomodations. Do forget what you have read here when you are ready to book a hotel. Pay attention to your security when you stay at a hotel. Make note of the fire exits and locations of fire extinguishers. Keep your door locked, and keep your key or key card in a safe place. Stash any valuables in the hotel safe. Consider bringing a flashlight along and keeping it by your bed in case you need it during the night. To get the most out of a hotel room on a business trip, look online at the various choices to see which places offer a free happy hour. At the end of a long day of meetings, having a free margarita or beer at your hotel before getting ready for dinner can be quite pleasant.
Do not feel silly when it comes to asking a hotel's guest representative some questions. If you are looking for quiet and relaxation, you need to ask ahead to be sure you will get it. For instance, is the hotel too close to an airport? Is there construction going on nearby. Know this before booking with a hotel. Look into club-level rates. While these rooms are more expensive up front, they typically offer a great value. For example, included in the price could be breakfast or dessert, Wi-Fi service or other perks, like drinks and snacks. See what is offered and decide if the extra cost is worth it to you. Do you stay at a particular hotel chain fairly often? Consider signing up for their loyalty club. As long as it is free to do so, you really have nothing to lose. Giving the hotel your contact information could mean getting special perks that you can use the next time you stay there.
If you're training for a marathon and have a weeklong business trip planned, there's no reason to let your running slip. Look online for local running groups in the city where you are going to stay, and join them for their social runs. If there aren't many groups, look for local running stores, as they also offer social jogs.
Be aware of your surroundings in a hotel to stay safe. Don't open the door without knowing who is behind it. Use the peephole. Hotel residents are especially vulnerable to theft. Check in with the front desk if there are any deliveries to your door and keep the door locked even when inside.

How living abroad facilitates the creative life! Wonderful world of insects :-) My daughters questions about insects inspired me, to photograph insects to be able to answer all her questions!! Now we count at home their legs, look at their eyes and trying to find out if it's a female or a male .... which is usually not so easy to find out, but I'm doing my best to answer all her questions. We are super excited about a new world!
