Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - Apple is in Talks With Banks to Launch Apple Pay in the U.K.
Apple is in talks with bank to launch Apple Pay in the U.K. sometime in the first half of 2015, reports the Telegraph.
Negotiations between the Silicon Valley giant and at least one of the biggest banks have proved tricky, however, because of wrangling over the terms, including what data Apple will be able to access, according to sources. It is understood the bank is uncomfortable with the amount of personal and financial information Apple wants to collect about its customers. Some executives fear Apple Pay and the data it delivers to Apple could serve as a beachhead for an invasion of the banking industry.
Notably, iClarified first reported a few weeks ago that Apple is forming a new Apple Pay team in London to help expand the service across Europe, the Middle East, India, and Africa.

Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google Plus, Newsletter, App Store, YouTube - ReachApp and Switchability Bring Multitasking to Reachability
Two new Reachability tweaks have surfaced for jailbroken devices that are definitely worth a download. Both ReachApp and Switchability let users activate a multitasking/app switcher while in Reachability view.
First we have ReachApp, which is still in beta. We’ve been using it for a few days now and haven’t run into too many issues. ReachApp brings true split-screen multitasking to the iPhone by placing the last used app in the Reachability view. Users can also choose to place the notification center in the view instead of an app. There’s also the option to resize the Reachability view.
ReachApp is free, but you have to add the beta repo in Cydia (http://elijahandandrew.com/repo/) in order to use it.
