IOS 7 Hello - Jailbreak Goodbye!

IOS 7 came out yesterday.  Once the Apple servers came back online(!!), I was able to download and restore my phone pretty easily.  My phone had been jailbroken so I could not do a simple upgrade.  The process was simple and I had no issues at all.  I decided to set up as a new phone as I had a bunch of apps on my phone prior that I never used and I did not want to randomly install everything.
I have to say that I really wasn't that excited about the new look from the previews but now that it is on my phone - I have to say that I love it.  There is nothing bland and plain about IOS 7 - everything slides and moves with style - it is a gorgeous UI!
Most exciting features that I have found so far and why I probably will not jailbreak again -
1. Mail finally has a select all button so that you can mark everything as read in one move (essential for people like me that are pretty anal about not having badges showing on my icons unless there really is something new there!)
2. Control center - yes!!! One swipe to get to those essential controls like wifi, flashlight, calculator etc.  No more need for SBS settings!
3. Multitasking- looks like the Cydia App Auxo which I loved.  There is now a screenshot of each app - took me for ever to figure out how to close apps but finally found that a quick swipe up takes care of that!
4. Notification center - much better than it was, fully customizable.  Nice overview of what is happening today.
As of now, I have only just scratched the surface but I have to say everything so far is akin to a total overhaul but still with the familiarity of the Apple apps that we love!
Good Job Apple!!

Introduction

I would call myself a software person in as much that I can become almost obsessed with a certain software application and immerse myself in it!  The following things have become part of my life due to this compulsion of mine: all things IOS and Mac, jailbreaking iDevices, Powerschool (this one has taken a back seat now), Moodle and the H323 video conferencing world.  This is the most recent list, I also do too much with Microsoft Office out of need more than actually thinking this is cool and am now seriously considering moving to Linux as my primary operating system but that would be a pretty big leap.

So this blog will include various rambling on certain technologies, primarily in the educational environment but not always!
