We already broke the news and told you that Facebook is going to launch a new profile page design. As promised, Facebook has announced a new and improved profile page design and will be rolling out starting from tomorrow. In case you can't wait for Facebook to rollout the new design tomorrow, you can get it now easily!


All you have to do is to navigate to http://facebook.com/about/profile and click on the green button at the end of the page “Get the New Profile”. That's it! You will get the new interface as I got mine now.

A new Cydia tweak has been released today that allows your iOS device to stream recorded video from your photos or camera roll to your Apple TV! This tweak, called Air Home Video, is a standalone app that allows the user to stream any recorded video from the app.


Here is the official release note of Air Home Video:

Air Home Video can play any video in your Photos app, Camera Roll on iPhone and Saved Photos on iPad included. What’s great about Air Home Video is that you can then stream your videos to a new Apple TV 2G using AirPlay.

You can now shoot a video on your phone, and without syncing it to your computer or hooking up to wires you may play it to network connected Apple TV 2G.

You can trim down videos to only view a portion of it. You can also select Low or High Quality streams. Low will compress quicker, but will, of course be a lower quality of video than High.

Enjoy your home videos as soon as they have been shot. They are, after all, yours; play them how you want, and where you want.

Air Home Video is available through Cydia store via the BigBoss repository for $0.99. This is a must have app for your jailbroken devices! Enjoy your home-made videos from the moment you finish recording them!

Of course you need a jailbroken device to install this app so you can follow our guide posted here to jailbreak iOS 4.2.1 or use Limera1n for iOS 4.1 jailbreak. [via iClarified]

In case if you still didn't update your Cydia to the new version on your iOS 4.2.1, and while there is no option to do the update directly from Cydia, I will show you how to do this with a few simple steps. After you will update to the new Cydia you will feel a huge performance boost throughout the whole applications.

Mark ZuckerBerg, CEO of Facebook has given a show of an exclusive look at Facebook's new look. We have caught a new look of the profile page design changes a few seconds into this video. The glimpse can be seen in the video found here at the 10th second. The new look’s apparently going live tomorrow as reported by TNW.


As TNW notes, interviewer Lesley Stahl also sneaks in that no one will see this new design…until tomorrow. You can see photos are positioned directly under the profile name and basic info about the individual. Also take a look at Ellen's fan page, it's really interested and claims that a new thing is coming out.

We are just in. Apple has just confirmed via new Apple Store signage that the white iPhone 4 will be available in Spring 2011. In a new Apple Store sign, Apple notes, The white iPhone 4 will be available spring 2011.


So this finally confirms an earlier report about white iPhone 4 delay until Spring 2011. I think Spring 2011 will be very late as we are willing to see 5th generation next year so any readers our there planning to get it or wait for iPhone 5 (may be Verizon)? [9to5mac]
