the characters in Wes Craven’s magnum opus would be an obvious exception, we’re pretty sure that protagonists in horror movies have never seen horror movies — looking at the Silent Hill series, it’s clear this rule applies to video games as well. Not that we’re complaining, as if the characters in Konami’s beloved horror series would collectively realize that abandoned, fog-filled towns are abandoned and fog-filled for a reason, they would probably stop going to them in search of deceased or missing wives/offspring/brothers — and we wouldn’t have these gorgeous screenshots from the upcoming Silent Hill: Homecoming to drool over.
So thanks, horror genre characters. Your obvious ineptitude for danger avoidance may deliver you into the jaws of certain doom, but it provides us with near-limitless entertainment — and really, isn’t that more important in the long run?

Take screenshots of your iPhone screen

Take, screenshots, of ,your ,iPhone, screen

Have you been curious of how to take screenshots from your iPhone without using any external programs? RiP Dev has discovered a method of doing this. There are two methods available.

First one:
Go to http://repository.ripdev.com/ and get Installer.app.
Install Apple Screenshot Enabler from the RiP Dev category
Then hold down Home (Menu) button and toggle the Mute button to the the screen shot. The screen will flash and the screenshot will be saved to the Camera Roll. Simple as that!
Another method is a bit more tricky, as it’s a manual one, although for those with sufficient technical knowledge it shouldn’t be a problem.
You will need “to add the key “SBMobileScreenshotr” with value of 1 to “/var/mobile/Library/Preferences/com.apple.springboard.plist”
After that use the same key combination like the first method. Simple, wasn’t it?
This method is required if you have firmware bellow 1.1.3
