Apple has updated its iCloud system status page to note that some of its users might face issues while sending iMessages or placing FaceTime calls. According to the page, the services have been down for “some users” since the past one hour.
Jailbreak Tweaks To Supercharge Messaging Experience On Your iPhone
Messaging is one of the most used features of any mobile device, and the iPhone’s no exception. With a wide range of third-party messaging apps, as well as Apple’s own iMessage service, one spends a lot of time typing into chat windows.
While the messaging experience on stock iOS is reasonable, there’s a lot that can be done to supercharge this experience on jailbroken devices. Below, we list some of the best tweaks to enhance messaging on your iOS device.
iMessage Encryption too Strong for Feds’ Surveillance
Some Cydia Developers Targeted With iMessage Denial Of Service Attack
Over the last few days, we’ve noticed that some of the prominent iOS hackers and Cydia developers have been targeted with what appears to be denial of service attack.
The attacker/s seem to be using the OS X Messages app to send large number of messages in quick succession to their iMessage handle, which in some cases is locking up the Messages app.
Mid-Day News Round Up: Kindle for iOS Updated, Apple Owns ‘Retina’, and Cut The Rope Dishes Out Pudding

I think it’s safe to say that Apple’s track record with cloud-based services is mixed at best, so what’s the deal? Why can’t Apple seem to make their Internet-based services as great as their devices?
Getting Started with iMessage: Setting Up Devices
This is the first of likely many how to posts on iMessage. I think iMessage has to be one of the coolest, convenient, slick, and most freakin’ confounding apps/services that Apple offers. I love iMessage, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t drive me round the bend too. In this post, I’m going to cover setting up iMessage, adding more email addresses to iMessage, and connecting all your devices/machines together to be in iMessage sync.
iMessage and Other IP Apps Killing SMS
I remember when iMessage first came out and thought, yeah the carriers are going to freakin’ hate this. Sure iMessage uses data, but probably a paltry amount (if you don’t attach ginormous photos that is) whereas SMS, oh that’s been a carrier cash cow since it came out.
