Since March, the old Mac Pro has not been available to buy in Europe as changes in regulations meant that the old Mac Pro no longer complied with EU law. In particular, the large exposed fans of the Mac Pro were the main reason behind the ban — the amendment required fan guards and minor changes to electrical ports.
With the design of the new Mac Pro, Apple once again complies with regulatory requirements. Via MacGeneration, customers in Europe are now receiving shipment notifications with delivery as early as January 14. According to Apple’s online store, customers ordering today should receive their Mac Pro in February.

Apple and Samsung agree to talk things out before next patent battle
In a rather welcome bit of news, Apple and Samsung have agreed to try to resolve their disputes over smartphone patents through a mediation session in February. The two companies will take a trip back to the courts in March for their next patent battle, but Apple CEO Tim Cook and Samsung CEO Oh-Hyun Kwon will be in talks to see if they can settle things out of court, before millions more are spent on the pointless court battles. The talks will be held in the presence of an unidentified mediator who has “experience mediating high-profile disputes,” and three to four in-house lawyers from each company.
Of course, these talks have been held before and have always failed to settle anything, so it’s likely the scenario will play out the same way this time as well. But in case they don’t, well, that would be great and remove two major players from the countless patent disputes that have companies reaching for each other’s throats.

First look: iOS-connected smart watches, health trackers, home automation from Archos
Archos is hitting the wearable devices market hard in 2014, with a new range of products showcased at the Consumer Electronics Show capable of connecting to Apple's iOS mobile platform via Bluetooth Low Energy.
A total of three new smart watch models from Archos were showcased to AppleInsider on Wednesday in Las Vegas., Nev. All three products are based on the same basic technology, but will offer different capabilities in terms of battery life and screen technology.
The cheapest model will sell for $50 and will feature a black-and-white display much like the Pebble watch. This low-tech display will allow the device to sport a lengthy 1.5-week-long battery life on a single charge, the company claims.
A second model will be available for $100 featuring a color LCD touchscreen. This more power-intensive display will offer one to two days of battery life on a charge.
Finally, the high-end Archos smart watch will sell for $129, and will feature an e-ink curved display. This top-of-the-line iOS accessory will also sport an advertised battery life of 1.5 weeks.
Archos representatives said they see the growing smart watch market as a place where users want to extend their smartphone screen. The accessories will display time, customizable iPhone notifications, media control and more.
But Archos isn't stopping at the wrist when it comes to wearable devices. The company also has an iPhone-compatible pedometer, a blood pressure monitor, and a connected scale all coming this year.
All three accessories will connect to the same application which will be available on the iOS App Store. And the devices will also remember recorded stats until they are synced, so no data is lost if a user's iPhone isn't near by.
Like other, existing pedometers, Archos's product will measure distance walked and calories burned, and it will sell for $50. The scale will determine fat mass in addition to weight, and will be available for $50. The blood pressure monitor is set to have a price of $65.
Finally, Archos is looking to bring the whole package together with system of connected/automated home devices that interface with both iOS and the company's proprietary Android-based Smart Home Tablet.
The setup is structured around connected sensors, like a motion sensor, indoor/outdoor camera, weather monitor and even a tracking tag that attaches to pets. The motion sensors, for example, can detect when a window or door is opened, or keep tabs on activities within the house.
As for home automation, the French company is planning a variety of plugs to allow users remote control access of lights and other appliances. These sets can be controlled via the iOS app, while more advanced functions require the dedicated Smart Home Tablet.

Apple and Samsung agree to mediation in latest patent battle
Reuters reports that the CEOs of both Samsung and Apple have agreed to sit down with their lawyers and hash out a settlement in the latest of the never-ending patent suits between the two companies. Legal teams from both companies decided on this course of action earlier this week.
The meeting will take place some time next month, ahead of the actual court proceedings scheduled for March. If the two companies managed to reach a settlement, they could bypass the entire court process, saving both sides of the fight from financial and legal headaches.

Apple, Samsung CEOs agree to mediation in U.S. patent fight
Apple Inc and Samsung Electronics have agreed to attend a mediation session to be held on or before February 19, as they prepare to clash in court in March over smartphone patents.
Apple CEO Tim Cook and Samsung CEO Oh-Hyun Kwon will attend the session with in-house lawyers only, according to a Wednesday court filing. Their legal teams had met on January 6 to "discuss settlement opportunities," the filing read.
Neither company immediately return messages seeking comment.
Apple and Samsung are embroiled in a legal battle over smartphone patents across several countries that mirrors their global battle for supremacy in the mobile device market.
The technology rivals are facing a March trial date in the United States over Apple's claims that Samsung infringed its patents.
In the last two years, Apple and Samsung have gone to trial twice in San Jose, California federal court, and juries have awarded Apple a total of roughly $930 million.
Apple said in court documents filed in December that it has paid its leading outside law firm approximately $60 million to wage patent litigation against Samsung.
The case is Apple Inc v. Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, U.S. District Court, Northern District of California, 11-1846.

Alleged iPhone 6 Metal Housing Surfaces, Suggests Thin Body
As most of you know, rumors surrounding Apple’s upcoming smartphones have been surfacing at an increasing rate. Until now, the stars have been those reports suggesting that the iPhone 6 will sport a 4.7-inch screen and a very thin body (the Apple Air moniker has been passed around pretty often) and the one claiming that Apple’s rumored phablet will be announced sometime in May and will be a part of a complete new series of devices.
If phablets are just too big for you and you’ve been on the hunt for new iPhone 6 related info, take a look below and join us after the break.
According to renowned Apple leaker C-Tech, the above shots are featuring iPhone 6′s metal housing. As you can see, the device will be really thin (making it appropriate to call it iPhone Air) and will probably feature a display around 4.7 – 5 inches.
There is no way of being sure that this is indeed iPhone 6′s metal housing, but China is definitely the way to look for accurate Apple related leaks and rumors. What do you think? iPhone 6 / Air or something else entirely? Let us know in the comments section.

FLIR ONE™
PERSONAL THERMAL IMAGING DEVICE FOR YOUR iPHONE®5 & 5s
FEATURES
PRODUCT SPECS
MSX TECHNOLOGY
Everything around you either emits or reflects heat energy. Thermal imaging makes the otherwise invisible world of heat energy visible to your eyes. Visible light doesn’t affect the thermal world, so you can see equally well in highly lit and totally dark environments — the thermal image is the same. This allows you to visualize the effects of many real-world events and conditions that are otherwise impossible to detect. There are countless new, useful, and fun ways thermal imaging will integrate into your daily life. The list of uses is long and will grow dramatically when the consumer world begins to See the Heat.
HOW IT WORKS:
FLIR ONE™ is a non-contact device that detects infrared energy (heat) and converts it into an electronic signal, which is then processed to produce a thermal image on your phone screen and perform temperature calculations. Heat sensed by an infrared camera can be very precisely measured, allowing you to use the FLIR ONE™ in a variety of practical and fun ways by revealing a thermal world not visible to the unaided eye.

Evasi0n iOS 7 Jailbreak Not Patched in iOS 7.1 Beta 3
Evasi0n, the jailbreak utility for iOS 7 (including beta 1 and beta 2) is rumored to be patched before the final iOS 7.1 release.
When Apple released iOS 7.1 beta 3 earlier today, many of you were wondering if they had patched evasi0n7. The good news is that Apple has not patched evasion7, according to iH8sn0w -- therefore the jailbreak still works on beta 3. Although evasi0n has not been updated to support beta 3, there are some unofficial builds floating around that do support it.
While Apple has not patched the exploits evasi0n7 uses in 7.1 beta 3, it is likely that by the final release (rumored for March), they will indeed fix the vulnerabilities therefore making evasi0n7 incompatible with iOS 7.1
iOS 7.1 beta 3 brought UI tweaks including an updated keyboard, dialer and call screens.

Yahoo News Digest: Get In The Know In No Time
With the introduction of mobile devices, plenty of things have changed. The way we find, consume and share news has evolved. As things become more complex in nature, news consumption has become overwhelming. That’s why today, we’re excited to introduce Yahoo News Digest for iPhone and iPod touch.
Yahoo News Digest delivers the most important news twice a day, right to your mobile device. Our Digests provide a definitive summary of all the need-to-know news so you can stay on top of what’s happening.
Remember waking up to the local morning news? Coming home to the evening news? Reading a newspaper from front to back page? These formats have been daily habits since the invention of the television and the printing press. We wanted Yahoo News Digest to revisit a content format that when read, led you to a sense of completion and conclusiveness, much like reading the newspaper did.
With Summly, we learned that people don’t necessarily have the time to read a lengthy article, especially when they have limited screen real-estate while they’re on the go. By giving powerful algorithmic summaries, we found that people were willing to consume more content when it was boiled down to the most important bits.
We’ve taken summarization to the next level with News Digest, by algorithmically and editorially selecting the important articles and using multi-document summarization to identify the key ‘bits and pieces of information’. We’ve named these bits and pieces “Atoms.” Our Atoms assembled from around the web include articles, maps, infographics, Wikipedia extracts, videos, photos and more. Stories contain different atomic units which convey different dimensions of the story from the who, what, when, how, and why of a topic.
Once you’ve gotten through all the key stories you’ve “completed the digest” and caught up with the most important news of the day.
Our goal with the Yahoo News Digest is to make sure you’re always in the know. We hope you’ll enjoy it.
Yahoo News Digest makes your news reading experience simplified, effortless, comprehensive, and complete. Download the app today and get in the know in no time.
