Lifetime has always been known for its over-the-top made for TV movies, but recently the basic cable channel has been hitting a lot of home runs. Not only is Lifetime giving the king of B-movies, the Syfy network, a run for its money by releasing internet fodder such as The Choking Game, but it has also found ratings success with its adaptations of V.C. Andrews' Flowers in the Attic novels. The network also got the internet talking thanks to its controversial biopic Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B, and by nabbing big name talent such as Will Ferrell, Kristen Wiig and Bella Thorne.

Recently there has been much excitement and drama in the iOS jailbreak community. Last week's release of TaiG 2 for iOS 8.3 sent developers scrambling to update their packages for the latest firmware. The moment Cydia and countless tweaks were 8.3 ready, Apple Music launched on July 30 as part of the iOS 8.4 update. It was only hours until the first iOS 8.4 jailbreak entered the scene, however issues with the PP jailbreak tool have since come to light. TaiG immediately updated to version 2.2.0 for jailbreaking iOS 8.4, which is now recommended for all users over PPGhost.

The iOS 8.4 jailbreak has arrived. Just hours after the launch of Apple Music the PP jailbreak tool has been updated to version 2.3.0. The latest PP jailbreaks devices running iOS 8.1.3-8.4. This news comes hot on the heels of last week's iOS 8.3 jailbreak from TaiG team. While the PP tool is currently Windows-only, previous releases from PP have supported OS X. Those with jailbroken devices can now update to iOS 8.4 without losing their tweaks and customizations.
