You should not alter your lifestyle to fit the limitations of your possessions. Rather, your possessions should help you to live the way you want to. If you enjoy staring at screens at night (e.g. for reading), you should buy gadgets that enable you to do so.

This reminds me of threads on MacRumors and Apple Discussions. Someone asks how to do X with [gadget]. Someone replies that you can't do X with [gadget]. Then someone asks why you would want to X with [gadget], you're obviously using [gadget] wrong and you should buy Y to do X instead. The rest of the thread is an argument over whether people should want to do X with [gadget]. Maybe a post explaining how to more or l…

Could you expand on what prompted you to install those? I had thought the blue light itself was the issue. I don't know what daylight spectrum bulbs are like, but I'm assuming they emit more blue light. So that's an interesting result.

Several years ago I started working from home more, and during the winter found myself really struggling to focus on screens and written text. It seemed to be 'vague' but my eye tests showed no deterioration. I read online about daylight-spectrum bulbs assisting fine-work ( crafters use them extensively ) and on a hunch I bought a few bulbs. What a transformation! I found myself much more alert and better able to rea…

Yep, I recently got a daylight lamp for this very purpose. I point it at my face for 3-4 hours a day, and it improved my concentration a lot. Sometimes (esp. when working on a sleep deficit) the light makes me a bit tired.

Fun fact: When I turn on this lamp it makes me want to tidy up the room, after about 2 minutes. I suspect that's an effect also observed in anti-depressants.

I can not live without FolderCloser, SwipeSelectionand the patch which removes the 8 tabs limit in Safari.

There is no tab limit for safari in iOS7.

Nope, after having 10 visible tabs the new tab button gets disabled and links that would open a new tab replaces the old ones.

I can't think of a compelling reason to jailbreak my iPhone in 2013, and I suspect that's true for a lot more people than it was in the past.

My top three: Freedom to copy your data out of an app into your computer even if the app doesn't "allow" it. E.g., get into Notes.app's sqlite database after they decide to delete all the data when you unlink your account even if it hasn't successfully synced for a year so that you can recover half of it. Develop apps on your own device without paying $100 and supporting the war on general purpose computing. Also com…

Regarding the first, I was pretty impressed when I plugged my phone into my Ubuntu machine for the first time and up popped two Nautilus windows giving me read access to my entire iphone5 filesystem.

I'm an avid user of Garage Band for iOS and the method Apple gives you to transfer songs from the phone are surprisingly inadequate.

Linux also assisted with copying all the songs from my girlfriends iPod, which was denied by iTunes due to some DRM silliness.

So, with Linux coming to the rescue I have found less of a desire to jailbreak these devices.

iOS 7 has a blacklist for calls & texts, not a whitelist though (unless you can do this with Do Not Disturb, not sure)

It's available - Do Not Disturb + Favorites For me, I'd use it for recording calls. I'm also interested in what the mod community comes up with - there's usually a lot of innovation in the JB space that Apple cribs into big iOS updates.

Can you record calls with a jailbreak? Last time I checked (which would have been around iOS 5, I think) it was not possible, as the baseband handled the audio for calls and it never touched the main OS. Several jailbreak apps claimed to be able to do it, but on further investigation they all worked by forwarding your calls through their own phone number and recording on their end, which is pretty awful.

Yes those were the two choices, jailbreak or not stare at the phone before sleep. Very perceptive, aroch.

Does being snarky make you feel better about yourself? I find it hilarious that someone who knows that staring at a bright blue-white screen is going to impact their sleep, continues to do so. It is even more amusing to think that they'd rather drop $400+ on a new Android phone that can run lux/redshift instead of modifying their own behavoir in a trivial way.

When someone discusses a problem that has a trivial and obvious solution that they're not using, you should consider that they may have already thought of it and found it wanting.

F.Lux It used to take me 30-60 minutes to fall asleep. I jail broke my phone to install f.lux and now I fall asleep in ten minutes or less. If I eventually can't jailbreak an iPhone, I'll switch to android.

These $9 orange safety glasses have worked extremely well for me over the past few years: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000USRG90/ref=redir_mdp_mobil... EDIT: edited for clarity

Wow, there's a real-life instance of the old "zero-gravity pen / Soviets used a pencil" legend. I think I'll pick one of those up.

If you visit it in Chinese locale, It shows evasi0n7 includes an app "Taichi Assistant" for install APP, tweak. A replacement for cydia?

There's a bunch of twitter drama and rumours making the rounds claiming evaders got a $1m USD paycheck from this chinese pirated apps app store to bundle it for users on chinese locales, and that this exploit had to be released early because it was about to be leaked/stolen/sold out to some other entity right now...

I have 14 tabs open right now, and this is after I spent 5 minutes yesterday closing a bunch of tabs I didn't need anymore.

I very much doubt this. iOS 7 adoption rate was the best so far, that probably means people don't mind the new look.

Even people that otherwise like the iOS 7 look will admit that a lot of the stock app icons look like shit. Safari and mail and settings in particular are a bad joke.

I think they look fine. Best with a monochrome wallpaper (http://puu.sh/5V2ao/c2cc3d7273.png).
