Video: iH8Sn0w Demos Untethered iOS 8.1.1 Jailbreak
Known for programs like P0sixspwn and Sn0wbreeze, iH8Sn0w has recently demoed a completely untethered jailbreak for iOS 8.1.1. Despite Apple saying they patched these security flaws in their latest update to iOS 8, this seems to be more so hardware related than anything. This jailbreak iH8Sn0w shows in the video above only works on 30-pin connectors and not devices that use the Lightning cable. So with that being said, if this jailbreak ever becomes publicly available, it will only be for the iPad 2, iPad 3 and iPhone 4S. For now though, we’ll keep you updated if we hear work of anything new.

Tweak Review: ‘SnooScreens’ by Milo Darling
If you’re a wallpaper enthusiast like me then this going to be the tweak for you. SnooScreens, developed by Milo Darling, lets you cycle a bunch of different wallpapers based on conditions you set by Activator. This is his first paid tweak that’s been submitted to one of the default Cydia repos, so it’s going to take some time to get released since he has to go through the approval process. But that said, it should be out within the next few days as he submitted it about 4 days ago and will be $0.99 in the BigBoss repo.
