the company sold 7 million ipads in three months. not only is that an extraordinary business, it has a lot to do with all of the content that people are making out there, for every ipad app maker out there you are gaining 7 million customers every the months. for people who are not writing to the ipad you're losing 7 million customers. >> pretty amazing. >> it's 6:08. mexican president calderon will be the speaker for the grd waiting class. he was elected in 2006. he will speak at the annual commencement schedule forward june 12 at stamford stadium. the president was chosen because of his experience leading a nation that is highly connected to the bay area and california. >> an executive is hitting the brakes to make muni workers pay to park at work.

you can see the clouds coming in, the high and mid level clouds, what's happening with that is they are helping to prevent the formation of fog and keeping temperatures more mild in the places that are getting the cloud cover. but what i am noticing is that the clouds are starting to push off shore so we could see patchy fog, particularly in the north bay and along the peninsula this morning. this is what we expect in terms of your temperatures. winds are going to keep things mild as well. they are pretty strong in san francisco now, the northwest, sustained at 14 miles per hour. but the winds are helping to prevent that fog formation as well. we've got mild temperatures now turning warm by this afternoon. talking about the 60s. you take your lunch break we're close to that. and then this is where we end up later. 66 in san jose. back to you guys. >> another day of sun. 6:11. still to come, some heroes will be back again. we'll tell you who signed up for another season. >> president obama is meeting

20th section, and reducing speeds on six. the city is supposed to specify the exact location of these proposed changes later today. >> i don't feel like you are slowed down too much? >> no. >> raising them? >> wrong. >> because? >> it's appropriate the speed now. >> safety concern for you? >> uh-huh. and i have kids. my daughter is starting to drive. >> reporter: now city engineers didn't come up with these proposed recommendations without -- just out of the blue. the state requires cities to re-examine through a random sample of the true speeds drivers are driving. let's say they have an average of 34 miles an hour. in the old days the new speed limit would be rounded down to 30 miles an hour. but because of recent changes in the law, that limit must be

rounded up, so in this example 34 is 35. hence the reason we're seeing recommendations for 20 increases in the speed limit again on various segments throughout town. those haven't been specified yet. that's supposed to happen later today. the meeting tonight for the public here in livermore to show up at city council chambers, 6:00, this is your chance to let the city know exactly how you feel about this. it wouldn't be until later that this would go before the city council for approval, their vote up or down. reporting live in livermore, bob redell, today in the bay. >> 6:17. george gascon has a new party affiliation. the new district attorney changed his party affiliation from republican to democrat. just days ago. about 16% of san francisco are registered republicans.

political benefit. >> china's president will be the guest of honor at a state dinner. a lot call that event inappropriate given china's record on human rights. many executives that will be there at the white house are from northern california. scott mcgrew reports on silicon valley's influence. >> intell chief, ironically has been an outspoken opponent of the obama administration. you have also got ceos from others as well. a prime subject will be currency in these meetings. many americans accuse china of keeping a currency artificially low and china accuses us of the same thing. frankly, both sides are probably right. it's important because you don't want to have the more valuable currency. it makes your expeorts more

expensive. absent is apple. we learned yesterday that apple signed a long term $4 billion deal with a component company to build something, we don't know quite what, but the suspicion is it's new displays and it's a chinese deal. apple has to buy parts like flash memories or screens the way mcdonald's has to buy potatoes, in huge quantities and they have to secure the material early. it does no good if they come up with a great idea and then don't have the little pieces they need to build it. they can't build it as fast as people want it. >> what a problem to have. thank you very much. 6:21. off air and on the web. finding out more about the end to kuss, the college radio station with a cult-like following. it went off the air yesterday. the university of san francisco sold the license for 90.3 fm but
