joining us with a little insight is molly wood, editor with cnet. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. >> what are your first impressions? it was a ceo of a country but we lost someone special. >> reporter: absolutely. personally, it's extremely sad news. it's -- it's -- it's really heartbreaking i think in so many ways because he was so young and because his -- his genius was so pronounced and apple is so much a part of the cultural landscape and really the world. >> and molly, we were talking about, you know, the unveiling of the iphone 4s. it was done in cupertino, tim cook, seymour mellow. they had to have known this was coming. >> reporter: right. there's been a lot of speculation about that after -- now that this news has come out. we were really wondering if indeed the mood of that announcement was not very much affected by how sick steve jobs must have been at the moment that they were presenting that new phone. >> when you think about it, he taught us how to watch movies, how to get our movies, how to listen to music, i mean, if you wal

our cnet editor brian cooley will join us at 6:45 to let us know what he expects and we'll have a crewere at this event so folks can check in on cbssf.com for the latest. >> thank you. >>> the san francisco man who accused apple employees of impersonating police officers while searching his house might sue the company. 22-year-old sergio calderon hired a lawyer who tells cnet he is considering filing a lawsuit against apple. one of the six people who visited calderon's home in the bernal heights area said they would obtain a search warrant if they didn't let them in. they reportedly were look for that unreleased iphone 5 which got left at a bar at apple's request, looking for it. but apple didn't want them to lose the phone, obviously. >> obviously. >>> 6:39 now. bit of a soaker yesterday but not done yet. >> yeah. let's kick it over to lawrence and find out what's going on. >> the storm door is open here in the bay area. it looks like we have another system headed our way this one likely to be more potent than the one that just went through so yes indeed, we have some clouds continuin

joining us with a little insight is molly wood with cnet, the editor with cnet. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. >> we were just saying, he was only 56 and he did so much especially from 19 97 on, the ipad, iphone and such. so much more could have been done had he been a healthy man. just think what the next 20 years would have brought. >> reporter: it really is a tragedy. it is so sad that such a brilliant light would go out so young and i think that that's one of the real frustrations. now that it had to be absolutely agonizing for steve jobs himself. he was such a willful person. he was so devoted to apple and to the products he created. it must have been incredibly frustrating for him to be so sick. >> it says so much that everyone from the president to the average guy on the street really feeling this loss today and feeling it in a very personal way. >> mm-hm. that's one of the remarkable things about steve jobs, always has been about both steve jobs and apple that people feel that incredibly personal connection. i think it's partly because he was al

well, that is discrimination under the fc cnet neutrality rules, perhaps -- we don't know yet because the complaint has not been adjudicated. although i will say in the fcc order they specifically single out this type of business model as potentially hazardous and discriminatory, so they virtually invited this complaint. it wasn't against one of the large operators that one would think, the big corporations. this was a mobile operator that's trying to compete. it had at that time eight million customers, one-well ofth the size of verizon, for example, and discounting service for customers who don't want to pay higher prices. so that was actually an option in the marketplace that was, i think, by any pressure very pro-consumer, but it's now run afoul of the net neutrality rules. so that's the problem, in fact, in regulating the internet. >> tom hazlett is a professor of economics, and he's director of the information economy project at the law school. what is the information economy project? >> >> guest: well, we're an academic program that tries to use the tools of law and economics i

. >> i want to make a suggestion for cnet. you should send the phone to someone, say, me, who's never had one before and maybe would like to try it. >> get user feedback. >> i think you should get more of a new user. i'll write a little blog for you. >> someone's who's never had an iphone. i see. get the whole new beginning experience. >> yes. >> a couple of quick things. >> really quick, really quick. >> really quick. it's not a 4g device. they didn't change the shape which a lot of folks were looking for. and it's in some ways catching up to the android phones. so this isn't like they're breaking new ground but it's a major increase in just about every area. >> brian cooley from cnet. >>> does it spell desperation or a sign of true leadership next. i'm not a number. i'm not a line item on a budget. and i'm definitely not a pushover. but i am a voter. so washington... before you even think about cutting my medicare and social security benefits... here's a number you should remember. 50 million. we are 50 million seniors who e

cnet editor-at-large brian cooley joins us. >> good morning. >> jason let the cat out of the bag butarnings a big deal today and apple will announce later this afternoon, should we worry about that? we know what the iphone 4s did over the weekend. >> huge. 4million unit weekend which was i think a blowout record even for any new iphone. apple should be good. they tend to buffer themselves because they give you a very low estimate of earnings when they will do better than that. they are expected to do something in the $720 a share profit -- $7.20 a share profit share compared to the forecast of $5 .50. either way, who wouldn't take either of those numbers, right, as a stock holder? but apple should be able to blow out the number because they always kind of -- they sandbag a little bit. they are very conservative that way >> it's smart. you set an expectation you don't hit it. >> reporter: you always look good. the key drivers for apple are the iphone is number one, the ipad is number 2. between those two, two-thirds of their revenue alone. everything else is fringe including the mac,

cnet is reporting the video taken by six cameras was unintentionally wiped from a hard drive. an apple employee lost that phone while at the tequila bar in late july. san francisco police are still investigating whether four officers actsed improperly when they assisted two apple employees who searched for the device inside of a home in vernal heights. >> we're live at the airport as amanda knox sets foot on american soil for the first time in four years. hear what she had to say. >> and politics goes tohe dog.. the bay area city where dog owners are becoming a powerful political group. can theyog really sway a mayora race? >> in san jose, why the husband of a woman missing since sunday is behind bars. >> and it's barely a landmark, but is it a wasteful one? the city accused of wasting tens of millions of dollars in renovating it. >> good evening. i'm chief meteorologist jeff ranieri. we have a much more detailed forecast coming your way than that new iphone update that we just heard. we do have clouds and we do have rain on the way tonight, as we take a look. temperatures onl

brian cooley from cnet joins us today. what's going on with the price, brian?thai flooding it's been an incredible monsoon season the worst in 50 years and a lot of folks say, what's that to do with tech? a huge number of tech companies are factories or parts makers in the area. a lot of the flooding hasn't peaked through the country so here's some of the impacts. for example, if you have anything that has a hard drive in it laptops, notebooks, desktop computers, the company that makes 80% of the motors that spin those hard drives, that noise you hear on your computer when you turn it on is having a lot of problems with its plants being under water. that's a real choke point for the computer industry and western digital well known silicon valley company number one in hard drives they make 60% of their drives in thailand at a plant that's also being impacted. >> so we're talking about months of impact, weeks? >> it could be a trickle through for weeks and then supplies run tight. >>> for category is cameras. a lot of cameras are made in thailand. a lot of sensor

that's got people, including cnet's molly wood, for new features to un-up android. >> it is due for voigs recognition, and turn to turn navigation. >> reporter: and a more powerful processor, improved camera, and cloud storage content were among other expected upgrades, with a budget version of iphone also a possibility. for the first time in years, it won't be steve jobs making the presentation. it will be new ceo tim cook, who took over in august for the ailing apple cofounder. >> everyone will be watching to see if there are cracks in the armor and what the post-steve jobs era looks like. >> reporter: for now it's expected to look the same. >> if it's 50%, even 25% better than the last one, people are still going to get in line for that thing. >> reporter: which will keep this apple very well polished. >> apple is expected to announce updates to its ipod touch. many tech industry observers expect the days of the click wheel are numbered. >>> ahead, the super act said to be performing at this year's >>> well, don't forget to be a fan of nbc 4 on washington on facebook. just go to nbc 4
