U.S. ambassador killed in attack
2
The U.S. ambassador to Libya and three American members of his staff were killed in an attack on the U.S. consulate in the city of Benghazi by protesters angry over a film that ridiculed Islam's Prophet Muhammad. Ambassador Chris Stevens was killed Tuesday night when the embassy building came under attack by a mob guns and rocket propelled grenades. At the same time, protesters in neighboring Egypt scaled the walls of the U.S. Embassy in Cairo and tore down and replaced the American flag with a black Islamic banner. The protests in both countries were sparked by outrage over a film ridiculing Muhammad produced by an Israeli filmmaker living in California.

A new app will soon be available for the iPhone and iPod Touch. It's called Passbook, an app that will put all your digital coupons, tickets and loyalty cards in one place, and potentially, be a way one day to use the iPhone as a digital wallet. Wednesday, Apple is expected to introduce the highly anticipated new iPhone, which will include Passbook and several other new features, such as Apple's take on mapping and seamless integration with Facebook and Yelp. The iPhone, as well as the iPod Touch and iPad, will have the new iOS 6 software that will drive the devices. For owners of many older Apple devices, such as the iPhone 4 and 4S, the new iOS 6 software will be available as a free upgrade to effectively modernize your existing device. Apple hasn't announced a launch date for iOS 6, but it's expected by the end of the month.
