Dear Apple, can I have my "swipe to unlock" back?

Just when I thought (aside from game emulation) I could happily move away from jailbreaking you go ahead an pull this move out of Tim Cooks ass. Really? What focus group of hipster douche-bags did you test this on? At first it didn't bother me much. That's why I'm late on this topic. Its getting increasingly frustrating. Also, as a guy who works with my hands, the touch ID unlock is practically useless. Is button pushing the future? I think not. If the ios10 jailbreak gives me an option to swipe, I am gladly doing it. That's the thing people that are against jailbreaking don't understand... it's the little things.

Apple! Hear our Cries!

Ok. iOS 9.3.4 is here. They already stole "f.lux" a few releases ago, among other things. As a matter of fact, it seems as though ever since Steve Jobs passed, Apple relies on the jailbreak community to come up with new features for them. Jailbreaking is filled with really useful apps and tweaks. Some of it is crap, but most of it really makes the iPhone what it SHOULD be. The iPhone is a great device, as is the iPad, but some really basic (but important) things are left out. The first thing I install once jailbroken are the two programs of the 5. These make your dock, and icons 5 across. This HUGE feature makes so much more space on the springboard. Honestly, Apple should make it so the folders, icons, and dock are completely customize-able. What's the big deal here? Second thing I install is iCleaner, which does exactly what it sounds like, and it really works well. The rest of the apps are for emulation of games, and file browsers. Maybe these pose "security" concerns, so fine, I'll live without them, although maybe make emulated games available on the app store? I don't like the security risks posed by jailbreaks, but I'll do it just for the 5's. Seriously.

New Apple Laptops? Fuck That. Where am all the CLONES at?

Remember UMAX? Or for that matter ANY MAC clone? You can read about them HERE. Apple charges $1500 for a Laptop that has the SAME video card as a $200 PC Laptop. I know, "Apples aren't for games". This matters not. A $400 PC will outperform an Apple all day. If I want to play a native Apple game I should be able to. The only thing great about APPLE laptops is the magsafe. Its time for APPLE clones to rise back up. Make a cheaper, better computer that runs OSX.
