Apple Inc. has more than $81 billion of cash on its books with about one-third held in the U.S. This is because of its continuing success of products like iPhone, iPad, iPod and Mac. So what will Apple do with all the cash hoard?

Jonathan Ive, Apple's design chief who holds more then 400 patents, has been knighted by Queen Elizabeth II, 85, an iPod user.

The iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak, released by iPhone Dev Team (Corona 5.0.1) and Chronic Dev Team (RedSn0w 9.10b) based on the French hacker pod2g's work, has been made available on iPhone3GS, iPhone4, iPhone4-CDMA, iPad, iPod Touch 3G and iPod touch 4G. Many people have downloaded and installed the untethered jailbreak, but some of them have encountered various kinds of problems.

Many users, who had already overwritten an earlier jailbreak and stepped into the puffed-up untethered jailbreak world, have been facing a number of crashes due to MobileSubstrate-based apps. To fix the issue, a third beta of Redsn0w - called Redsn0w 0.9.10b3 - has been released for both Mac OS X and Windows.

The untethered jailbreak for the Apple devices powered by A4 processor is finally out, but the users of A5 devices like iPad 2 and iPhone 4S are still hopeful of getting a jailbreak in the current year only.

The iOS 5/5.0.1 untethered jailbreak has been made available for iDevice users, but only the A4 devices owners can enjoy it. The A5 device owners have to wait for further information from Dev Team. However, the iOS 5/5.0.1 untethered jailbreak does not work perfectly. iPhone Dev Team released redsn0w 0.9.10b3 (for both Mac and Windowsusers) to fix a problem where re-running redsn0w over an existing jailbreak would cause MobileSubstrate-based apps to stop running until MS was installed again.

During Christmas season, a well-crafted phishing scam has targeted Apple users, fooling them into give their Apple IDs and billing information, Internet security firm Intego (http://blog.intego.com/beware-of-apple-billing-information-phishing-e-mails/) reported in its blog.

Before running the latest untethered jailbreak from both the Dev-teams, you should know some facts about the jailbreaks, which can help you have a silky jailbreaking experience.

A new program called Spire allows users to add Siri to any jailbroken iOS 5 device, from an iPhone 4 to a first generation iPad.
