Electric Pig has just reported that Apple’s PR team is inviting select UK journalists to attend the WorldWide Developer Conference (WWDC) 2011 that starts on June 6th.
Electric Pig speculates that Apple is planning to unveil the next generation iPhone – iPhone 5 or iPhone 4S as the possible reason for the invitation.
Electric Pig reports:
A source tells us that Apple’s UK iPhone PR team is approaching journalists from major publications to fly out to the event in San Francisco next month. The obvious conclusion would be that Apple is announcing a new iPhone. Or rather, an updated model. The iPhone 4S is slated as a stop-gap before the appearance of a true, ‘&%!*, they’ve done it again!’ game-changer next year.
Apple has already announced that it will unveil iOS 5 at next month’s WWDC and it is also widely speculated that Apple will delay the launch of the fifth generation iPhone to September this year, so the invitations could very well be for the launch of iOS 5, which is expected to be a major upgrade.
Do you think Apple will surprise us by launching the next iPhone at next month's WWDC? Let us know in the comments.

iOS 5 Won’t Be Compatible With iPhone 3GS?
According to Eldar Murtazin of Russian blog Mobile-Review, iOS 5 that will be unveiled at next month’s WWDC 2011 won’t be compatible with iPhone 3GS, which means that it will be compatible with iPhone 4 and future iPhones.
Eldar Murtazin revealed this via the following tweet:
Just one comment. Apple iPhone 3Gs wont be upgradable to iOS 5.x. iPhone 4 will.
Murtazin hasn’t provided any details about the source of this information but apparently has a good track record when it comes to mobile phone rumors.
You may remember that iOS 4 that was launched in June last year was initially compatible with iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4, but some of the features were not available for iPhone 3GS and iPhone 3G users. Earlier in the year, Apple decided to stop supporting iPhone 3G with the release of iOS 4.3.
It maybe too harsh to stop supporting iPhone 3GS with the release of iOS 5 as Apple continues to sell it along with iPhone 4. But we’ve seen Apple take such controversial decisions if it believes that it can’t offer a good user experience on older hardware, so we won’t be surprised if this rumor turns out to be true. It would also mean that iOS 5 won't be available for iPod Touch 3G users.
It also remains to seen if all the new iOS 5 features will be available to iPhone 4, iPod Touch 4G and iPad 1 users.

New York Senate Passes MMA Bill 42 to 18
* Posted by MMA NEWS on May 23, 2011 at 10:30am
Today the New York State Senate voted in favor of Senate Bill S1707A in an effort to legalize Mixed Martial Arts in the Empire State.
It is a small victory for those who seek out legalization in one of the last remaining states where regulation is currently not in place.
While the state senate may have just voted 42-18 in favor of the bill it still needs to pass the New York State Assembly in order to be legalized.
Assembly bill A04146 has been on the table since February however it has remained completely inactive. To this point a vote on the bill has yet to be scheduled and one of the leaders in the campaign to keep the sport out of New York is none other than state assemblymen Bob Reilly who has effectively led the campaign to stop the UFC from entering the state.
Reilly even went as far as to use his position against MMA to successfully garner 51% of the vote in his race for reelection in District 109. Some say that as long as Reilly is in office this bill will not pass the state assembly and his term is not up until 2013.
One small step was made in the seemingly never ending battle to get MMA into New York today, but don’t expect a miracle over night. There is still a long road ahead of us.
Dana White today via twitter stated “Finally, NY!!!” Let’s just hope he is right and we can get the bill through the Assembly with relative ease.

Junior Dos Santos Discusses Shane Carwin and UFC 131
by Tim Burke on May 21, 2011 10:00 AM EDT
You can't blame Junior dos Santos for probably feeling a tad annoyed. After all, he's had his opponent changed twice now. He was originally supposed to get a shot at UFC heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez, but Cain blew out his shoulder. Then he was given a coaching spot on The Ultimate Fighter and a number-one contender's matchup with Brock Lesnar. And that went down in flames due to Brock's stomach ailment. Now it will be Shane Carwin standing across the cage from him at UFC 131. Tatame talked to dos Santos about the whole situation, and Cigano was classy and respectful towards everyone involved:
Your opponent has been replaced again. How do you deal with this in your mind?
I’m much focused. I’ve been training hard for two months now, there’s almost a month left before the bout, and I’m doing just fine. I’m on a great patch in my life, thanks’ God, I’m feeling fine and I want to fight. I don’t fight for a long time. Last time I fought it was August of 2010, and I’m fine. I’m just not fighting because of the problems my opponents are facing. Of course it brings us some problems, but I believe that God makes things happens on their own time, and now I’ll be ready to go for this one and, God help me, I’ll win.
You’ve said before that you fight anyone they tell you to, but they keep changing your opponent… Before you’d fight for the belt, then came Lesnar and now Carwin…
Honestly, I’m happy that they didn’t chance the date that I’ll fight in, that they didn’t postpone it. The bout will still happen on the 11th. They’ve changed my opponent, but I’m still fighting. I’m a fighter, I need to fight, I live for fighting, I need it to be in shape. It’s not nice. I was preparing myself to fight Velasquez, and he got injured. Now Brock Lesnar is sick too, so… I’m not upset, I’m believing in myself a lot, and I’m sure I’ll put on a great show up there.
And then it was onto his new opponent, Shane Carwin:
Shane Carwin went through a hard time while facing Napao, beat the hell out of Lesnar, but he ran out of gas… What do you think of him as an opponent? What danger can he bring you?
He’s very dangerous and, as Lesnar, he’s almost 120kg, they’re the heaviest guys, so they are pretty strong, it may be a problem. But I believe in myself. I train a lot… He’s much dangerous, has super heavy hands, good Boxing skills, but I’ll bet on my speed and my Boxing. I go for the knockout every time I fight, and it won’t be any different this time. I’ll go for the knockout again. I was training to fight Brock Lesnar, much takedown defense and offensive takedowns too, and my Jiu-Jitsu. So, I’m feeling fine. I may surprise you all on this bout, maybe with a submission, or something like that. I’m feeling fine, and that’s what matters most.
Finally, he talks about how he has to switch things up a bit for Carwin as opposed to Lesnar:
The trainings and the game plan won’t be changed?
The trainings will be the same I was already doing, but surely the game plan changes a bit. Against Brock Lesnar I could let myself go more while striking, I could use it in my favor more than I can do with Shane Carwin, because I’ll have to be careful on that matter. I know God wants it, and I’ll get this win.
With UFC 131 less than a month away, let's just hope that both contestants are able to stay healthy and make in into the cage so they can do battle in Vancouver.

Junior Dos Santos predicts a knockout win over Shane Carwin at UFC 131
“I got a little upset about this change, but I’m happy that the UFC got another opponent for me. Carwin is an excellent fighter and deserves all my respect… His boxing skills are great. It’s gonna be a great fight with tough blows from both sides. I would say that it will end by knockout… I want to fight. I’m in the best moment of my career and I want to make my dream of being a UFC champion come true.” - Junior Dos Santos
