Leaked Screenshots of iOS in the Car that Expected to Be Bundled into iOS 7 1
The iOS in the Car First introduced alongside iOS 7, is an upcoming iOS feature, which lets you access your Maps, messages, make phone calls, and other services on your car’s touchscreen console, and also with Siri integration, so that you won’t have to take your eyes off the wheel.
The new that developer Steven Troughton-Smith, has posted a number of images on Twitter of what appears to be Apples upcoming iOS in the Car interface. but He hasnt responded to any follower inquiries about the origin of the images. Steven Troughton-Smith is the developer behind the Speed 3 app.
Its thought that the images may have been gleaned from the fourth beta of iOS 7.1. The second beta of iOS 7.1 brought a new Car Display toggle, leading some to believe that iOS in the Car support could be a feature bundled into iOS 7.1
The design shown in the images appear a user-interface that is quite different to the one shown at Apple’s WWDC in 2013 and on Apple’s website.

Apple won’t be shutting down Beats Music may alter the brand in future
There was news recently of Apple shutting down the Beats Music streaming service shortly after it was acquired. One would assume Apple might want to do that since Beats Music competed against Apple’s own iTunes, and was also available on Android.
That doesn’t seem to be the case, however. According to Re/code, who spoke with Apple PR and its sources, Apple isn’t shutting down Beats Music any time soon. However, the Beats Music brand might change over time.This means the Beats Music name could likely go away in future and the service might just get rebranded as iTunes streaming service. But as of now and the foreseeable future, the service will continue to operate, despite the fact that it’s not enormously popular.

XiaoMi Device Kernel soon to be Open Sourced
The trend is changing, while every Chinese manufacturer benefit from GPL agreements to obtain and modify kernel to their own advantage. But those same companies almost never give back to the community code wise.
OPPO has been the first to come back to the community and share their kernel code. Now XiaoMi, which is arguably, the most media buzz brand, is going this way too. Hopefully, others will join the movement and put pressure on the rest of the industry like MediaTek.
The chip maker has a key role in the Chinese smartphones industry and is one the of the biggest responsible for the rise of Chinese phone manufacturers. But MediaTek is not somewhat inclined to facilitate open source work on phones based on their SoC.
First, XiaoMi will release kernel codes of the Mi 2 series : Mi 2, Mi 2S, Mi 2A followed by the Mi 1 series, finally the HongMi and the Mi 3.
Whats next ?
3rd party ROMs developers will be able to adapt Mi 2 series kernels to their own use and optimize the devices performance.
For more informations, head to MiuiAndroid forums which broke the news first on the web.
