wrapped up. some disappointed it's not the iphone 5. it's the 4s. but, you know, it is available for preorders starting this friday and then the next friday, the 14th, is when they will start becoming available. another big announcement out of this is that sprint indeed will become the third carrier for the iphone. at 10 a.m. the new ceo tim cook took the stage for the first time replacing steve jobs as the leader of an unveiling of a major product. >> the iphone has 5% share of the worldwide market of handsets. i could have shown you a much larger number if i just showed you smart phone but that's not how we look at it. we look at the entire market of handsets because we believe over time that all handsets become smart phones. >> after an hour of touting

apple's accomplishments he finally announced the iphone 4s which is on the new operating system ios5. they decided to up great to the 4-s which looks the same as the 4 but inside he says is all different. as expected it has the a-5 chip a more powerful processor which will speed things up two times fashioner and dual core graphics, great news for gamers. the camera has also been upgraded from 5 to 8 megapixels and a 64-gigabyte model will be offered. when it comes to the success of apple's new products, some think it's less about the what more about the who. and that means steve jobs absence leaves doubt about apple's future. >> they presold a lot of this stuff so they will probably hit their numbers this year. we are worried next year when you get the full impact of steve jobs' departure and tim cook has done these while steve jobs was sick, but there was always that thought that he was

going to come back. >> we'll have to see how tim cook does. he won't have much of a probe almost but going forward, how he will continue to lead this will be interesting to watch. >> reminders like pickup dry- cleaning... >> reporter: and a 64-gigabyte model for this iphone 4s will be offered for $399. 32 gigs for 299. 16 gigs for 199 with a contract. without one it's about $800. they also announced a new white ipod an upgraded nano that works as a clock and fitness watch in one. we talked about the intelligence assistance voice control feature that got a lot of buzz today. for instance, someone in the demonstration asked this demonstration -- do i need a raincoat today? and it literally responded by saying, it sure looks like rain today. so some folks disappointed about the iphone 5 not coming out but others excited about the new features available starting next week. back to you. >> well, that's pretty cool.

let's talk about tim cook. were you you inside? did you watch this? -- were you inside? i heard it was more subdued, not as many people, that kind of thing. >> reporter: absolutely, frank. you know, tim cook we all expected him to have a much different style. he doesn't have that charisma that steve jobs has. i was not inside. we did have a crew inside. i was monitoring this though through our satellite truck here which had a camera inside. he was low key although he seemed to do the job. some people are pointing out that he is going to -- the company is going to need to pick somebody to be that charismatic point man in order to keep apple's momentum going. but again, today he did all right. >> well, it's all about the product, too. we'll see how the iphone 4s does. it sounds great. thank you. we'll see who gets one first. president obama is in texas today trying to win support for his jobs bill. it's going to be a tough fight.

does not have enough support to pass. the senate's number 2 democrat, dick durbin, says some members of his party aren't happy with some of the tax measures. others don't like the $447 billion price tag. the president's pushing lawmakers to find common ground. his own job is on the line next year. a new cbs news poll shows most americans don't blame president obama for the nation's economic troubles but 69% say they don't think he has made any progress fixing it. danielle nottingham, cbs news, washington. how does wall street feel about the economy? not good. down 178 points at this hour. investors really selling off today because of two major developments. not because of the weather. because greece announced that it only has enough cash to last through mid-november. and fed chair ben bernanke says the economy is covering a lot slower than expected. >> but not only is the dow down. it's cloudy out there and

rainy. okay. today governor chris christie made a big announcement. he is not running for president. >> i have explored the options, listened to so many people and considered whether this was something that i needed to take on. but in the end, what i have always felt was the right decision remains the right decision today. now is not my time. >> he went with his gut. the republican governor of new jersey said he wants to keep his commitment to the state of new jersey. a lot of conservatives not satisfied with the republican field had urged him to run. but he is staying put in new jersey. a man shot in san francisco's bernal heights neighborhood has died. he hasn't been identified yet. police say a gunman shot the victim in the head inside a home on franconia street about 9:40 last night. officers arrested one suspect nearby shortly after that shooting. san leandro police would like to find this man. he is a person of interest in a triple homicide over the

i am a walking medical dictionary. congratulations virginia. inflamed uvula. i'm virginia. i'm a target pharmacist and i'm here to answer your questions. still plenty of clouds around the bay area. we are waiting the next storm system, this one looks to be stronger than the one that moved through yesterday. let's take you outside now. clouds looking ominous over the city of san francisco. but looks like we're in dry period for the most part just some passing clouds and things will pick up later on this evening. that storm system just off the coastline, you can see some of the rain off the northern california coastline, right now the cold front bearing down on the bay area. it will bring with it more substantial rainfall overnight

tonight. some places maybe over and ich of rain. so as we look toward the afternoon, partly cloudy skies, temperatures mild, 60s and some 70s. winds will kick up. at the coastline, 20, 25 miles an hour gusting, it's going to be pretty good as this system comes through. tonight rain developing right off the coast here so it is going to slam right into us tonight and into early tomorrow morning. then it looks like it will begin to turn to showers. computer models picking up on it pretty well as you see the storm system coming through. the main cold front starting to impact the bay area about 10:00 tonight according to the computer models and then through the midnight hour it slides by and tomorrow morning scattered showers, even the possibility of some isolated thunderstorms. so pretty interesting night tonight indeed, especially this early in the season to see this kind of storm. you're going to see a lot of rain out there so be prepared up in the mountaintops, of course we can handle this in all our creeks and rivers because things are so dry right now. temperatures are expected to be in the 60s and 70s today.

over the next couple of days, it is going to stay a bit unsettled, maybe even a couple of lingering showers into thursday but friday and saturday we dry out, high pressure builds back into the bay area, and temperatures warm up. but you know what? they could even see a foot of snow above 7,000 feet in the sierra nevada. that's impressive for this time of year. >> just so you know, even with the new iphone 4s and forecasts, we are sticking with you. >> need forecast.

ride muni every day. ,,,,,,,,,, i enjoy it the most when i'm with sidney. she doesn't notice that it's too crowded or that it can run a half hour late. i'm bevan dufty, and i'm running for mayor because it's not enough to just "get it done"-- we have to get it done better. sidney thinks muni is magic. we go underground and come out someplace new-- just us. i want all of us to see it that way.

s and 3 thousand miles well, today's tip of the day is going to be is going to be with garlic. that's right, garlic. it's garlic time out there,

fresh garlic is coming in from all over the place and the market right now is flooded with it which is good because we could save some money on garlic and there is no such thing as too much garlic in any recipe. i'm not kidding ya! garlic is the best thing in the world. all right. i'm exaggerating but i love it. let's talk about selection and storage. when you buy it, make sure it's nice and white all the way around. a little bit of purposing tinge is okay but not too much. make sure it's free from any sprouting whatsoever. if you take the garlic and you hollywood it in your hand like this and squeeze it and it starts to break apart, that's old crop in the market and that do you not want. i'm not kidding ya. it's terrible! when you bring them home, store them in a cool, dry place not in the refrigerator and don't store where any sunlight hits it or where it's too warm. so cool, dry place is the best place to store it. i'm tony tantillo, your fresh grocer. and always remember to eat fresh and stay healthy. and when you cut up your garlic, if it asks for one clove in the recipe, use two! you'll thank me. ciao. [ laughter ]

>> your friends won't. [ laughter ] >> no kidding. two years and 3,000 miles later a missing chihauhau from northern california is finally home. ee reunion for his family at sacramento airport. he came from tampa. bye. [ agent ] so your policy looks good, is there anything else? why did you buy my husband a falcon?

thanks for the falcon. i didn't buy anyone a falcon. sure, you did. you saved us a lot of money on auto insurance. i used that money to buy a falcon. ergo, you bought me a falcon. i should've got a falcon. most people who switch to state farm save on average about $480. what they do with it, well, that's their business. oh, that explains a lot, actually. [ chuckles ] [ male announcer ] another reason people switch to state farm. aw, i could've gotten a falcon. [ male announcer ] get to a better state.
