WeeRoll, the Notification Center animation tweak that we covered last week, has been released on the Cydia Store.
WeeRoll adds over a dozen Animations to Notification Center, it's like a juiced up version of a similar tweak called Flowtation, and gleans inspiration from Barrel.

Apple has been seeding beta versions of iOS 5.1 to developers for almost three months now. And the most recent version, beta 3, was released more than a month ago. Apple is expected to unveil the new software alongside its iPad 3 next month.
That being said, the folks over at BlogdoiPhone are claiming that they've managed to acquire a Pre-GM version of iOS 5.1. And among the new features they've discovered, is a new Lock Screen camera icon (pictured above)...
Today Apple took the wraps off of OS X Mountain Lion (I know, we should have saw that one coming) and continuing with the movement started with its predecessor, OS X Lion, it borrows heavily from iOS.

Like times past, Apple has released a video teaser outlining various components of their upcoming OS X update. You're already aware of one of them — iMessage — but what are the others?
