For information on how to jailbreak your iPhone 3G or 3Gs, please refer to iphone-dev team.
(NB: For iPhone 3G and 3Gs users - ultrasn0w - may be required to get your iPhone to work with your service provider).
To get ultrasnow add - repo666.ultrasn0w.com to your sources in Cydia

You will probably find more than 10 apps here but top 10 sounds better then top 17... :)

Essential Jailbreak Apps

  1. All Sources - This will install all 'good' sources that you can access through Cydia. To get this package, you must add PwnCenter to Cydia sources (go to Cydia, select More Sources, then select PwnCenter).
  2. Cydelete - Allows you to delete Cydia apps the same way as you would Apple/iTunes Apps without having to go through Cydia's management console.
  3. Winterboard - this is essential for iPhone customization (for themes and more)
  4. SBSettings - provides you with the ability to quickly manage iPhone settings (brightness, turn Wifi on/off, Bluetooth etc. also allows you to 'kill' background processes that are hogging memory).
  5. Cycorder - If you are after a video recording alternative, then this is the best free video recording app you can get.
  6. Five Icon Dock - Allows you to have 5 icons in your main dock instead of the traditional 4.
  7. Five-Column SpringBoard - Allows you to have 5 columns instead of 4 on screen.
  8. iFile - file explorer for iPhone.
  9. MxTube - same as YouTube for iPhone but allows you to download and save the videos to your iPhone.
  10. Safari Download Plugin - Allows you to download files and images to your iPhone from Safari.

MISC Apps to make your iPhone rock more... :)
  1. A Better Tap to Unlock - Allows you to tap instead of slide to unlock your phone.
  2. Flashlight - a better flashlight than the one offered in the App Store.
  3. Hackintosh Theme - Nice mixed theme featuring Mac and Windows icons.
  4. Blacklight and Black Light theme - same name different themes.
  5. Vista OS X theme.
  6. iBlank - Creates blank icons for use as separators for Springboard
  7. Springjumps - jump from page to page using shortcuts on your springboard
App Store Apps that rock

  1. Shapewriter - you have to download this to find out but I guarantee it to be a great note taker and email writer.
  2. Evernote - take notes then upload to the internet for storage. Includes photo and attachment uploads
  3. Shazam - finds out the names of songs by using your iPhone to record and compare with an online database. Very, very accurate.
  4. Facebook - self explanatory
I will update this post as I find more favourite apps to add....

Cloud computing - what it is and how it has evolved

Many years ago Internet Service Providers (ISP's) and internet hosting companies languished in profits when users used the ISP's servers and hosting services to hold emails and files. At that time, these services were simply known as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and just plain email (or POP3 email) services. During the noughties (2000-2009) or the oo's (ooh's) some may call it, Microsoft, developed their server systems and brought us newer technologies that allowed small and medium enterprises to host their own mail and filing systems, in the form of Microsoft Servers or Microsoft Small Business Servers (SBS), running Microsoft Exchange and Sharepoint services. This left many an ISP with little joy as they saw their profits from hosting, eroded by users and enterprises migrating away from their hosted services and starting up their own Microsoft server systems. So the question was, how do the hosting companies get users to come back to their hosted systems, which the

Windows 8 Store Not Working - Here's how to fix it.

Windows 8 Store for the most part will work without an issue, however, there are times when an app that is being installed may be stuck or if you lost connection during the middle of an install, the installation may become corrupted. So, how do you fix this... Microsoft are obviously aware that there is an issue here and they provided an APP troubleshooter to the effect... Go to the Microsoft page " What to do if you have problems with an App " and run through the troubleshooting process. If all else fails, at the bottom of the page there is a link to "APPS TROUBLESHOOTER". Download the program and run it. It will find and fix what it can and will normally end with a restart of the PC and a fixed Windows Store. Update: since writing the last entry, more methods have surfaced on how to get the Windows 8 Store back up and running... Method 2. Open an administrative Windows Command Prompt (right click "Command Prompt" and select "Run as Administ

Best Dual SIM mobile phones Australia 2017

All dual SIM mobile phones are the same, right? The answer is NO, they're not. And if you're unlucky enough to buy the wrong one, you could soon be stuck with a single SIM mobile phone. Why a dual SIM mobile phone ? The answer is varied for this one. There are many reasons why people have more than one mobile device. Some use it to juggle their girl/boy friends around, having different numbers for each. Some like to have a full on data SIM only device where they can Facebook, YouTube, Snapchat, Netflix and web all they want. But carrying two devices can be a drag. So here's where a dual SIM mobile phone comes in handy. For me it's simple... I've been carrying two mobile phones around for ages, one for business use, the other for personal . It just made so much more sense to carry one instead of two devices. Where to get dual SIM phones in Australia and where NOT to get them . So for the last few days, I've been on the hunt for a dua
