Apple (AAPL) announced Tuesday that it will release details about its next iPhone at its Cupertino headquarters next week.

The much-awaited announcement will take place Oct. 4, according to an invitation sent to journalists that simply said, “Let’s talk iPhone.”

The announcement is expected to be made by new Apple CEO Tim Cook, who replaced the Cupertino company’s founder and most famous face, Steve Jobs, in August. Jobs resigned, reportedly because of health issues, but took over the role of chairman of the board.

Reversal of fortune: Stewart claims Loudon victory

September 25, 2011 · Posted in NASCAR · Comments Off on Reversal of fortune: Stewart claims Loudon victory 

After climbing from his winning car Sunday at New Hampshire Motor Speedway, Tony Stewart made the understatement of the year.

“We’ve got a shot at this thing,” said Stewart, who by taking the checkered flag in the Sylvania 300 became the second driver to win the first two races in the Chase for the Sprint Cup.

In a dramatic reversal of fortune, Stewart won the race — and grabbed a seven-point lead in the Cup standings over 12th-place finisher Kevin Harvick — when Clint Bowyer ran out of fuel with fewer than three laps to go.

Poor-mouthing Tony Stewart, who four days ago minimized his chances for a third Sprint Cup title, outlasted the field in Monday’s rain-delayed Geico 400 at Chicagoland Speedway.

Saving fuel during a 50-lap green-flag run to the finish, Stewart, who started 26th, crossed the stripe .941 seconds ahead of hard-charging Kevin Harvick to win his first race of the season and the 40th of his career, tying him with Mark Martin for 16th on the all-time list.

As far as the Chase was concerned, nothing changed during Kevin Harvick’s victory in Saturday night’s Wonderful Pistachios 400 at Richmond International Raceway — but what happened between the green flag and the checkered flag was astounding.

For the record, Harvick won his fourth race of the season and the 18th of his career as Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart and Denny Hamlin secured the final Chase spots they held provisionally entering the race — but not without considerable angst in the process.

It may have taken two extra days to complete the AdvoCare 500, but for Jeff Gordon, it was worth the wait.

The four-time Cup champion chased down teammate Jimmie Johnson in the waning stages of Tuesday’s rain-delayed Sprint Cup Series race at Atlanta Motor Speedway, then held off a furious rally by Johnson to score his third win of the season and the 85th of his career.
