- New MacBook Air to Enter Mass Production in First Quarter of 2015?

Apple has completed a pilot production run of the new 12-inch MacBook Air and is expected to begin mass production of the laptop in the first quarter of 2015, reports DigiTimes.
Apple’s new MacBook Air features Intel’s Broadwell processors and a new chassis design to reduce the device’s overall thickness and weight, but the start of mass production has been hampered by low yield rates, the sources said. As the yield issue is gradually being resolved, mass production is expected to come in the first quarter of 2015, the sources explained.
The new MacBook Air is apparently even thinner than current models and will likely have a Retina display. Previous rumors suggested it could come in multiple colors and would feature a fanless design, a trackpad without a mechanical button, and thinner bezels.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Apple TV Remote Interaction Concept [Video]

Radu Dutzan, a product designer at Onda, has detailed his concept for remote interaction with the Apple TV.
Dutzan imagines an Apple TV remote that features a touch surface. Moving your fingers on the surface would directly manipulation objects on the screen with a very responsive and smart scroll experience.
“Wouldn’t it be great if instead of trying to imitate clicks, Remote allowed you to scroll lists on the screen, directly responding to the position of your finger on the tracking surface? Wouldn’t selection in a complex button layout?—?such as the keyboard?—?be much more usable if you could make the cursor move in any direction instantly? Wouldn’t it be awesome if the Apple TV remote control was a smooth clickable trackpad, like the one on the MacBook, that allowed for these behaviors without having to look at a second screen?”
