**Editor's Note: Click here for our list of June's hottest selling smartphones to see how the iPhone fared against the competition.**
There have been so many new reports of a new iPhone lately, if you hadn't been watching carefully, you might've assumed it was already available.
The blog also says to look for "two new device types," but isn't clear what that means. One can only assume it's predicting the much-rumored "budget iPhone" that Apple has consistently denied; nonetheless, most analysts expect it's going to happen.
That cheaper device was "confirmed" by a recent investigation into working conditions at an Apple factory in China, where staff were supposedly working on plastic casings for a new iPhone. But again, take that one with a grain of salt.
The 5S isn't expect to look a lot different than last year's model, but it might include a fingerprint sensor connected to the home button for added security.

Malaysia?s industry leader BP Healthcare Group and University of Malaya (UM) have signed an agreement to work together in oral and dental research and care as well as community projects to increase dental awareness.
The collaborative initiative pools the expertise and resources of BP Healthcare, which aims to build the country?s largest dental care network, and Malaysia?s premier dental school that has over four decades of history and one of the few overseas training and examination centres recognised by the Royal College of Surgeons of England.
The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was sealed by Chevy Beh, BP Healthcare Group executive director, and Professor Dr Rosnah Mohd Zain, dean of the Dentistry Faculty, at the university in Kuala Lumpur today.
?We are privileged to work with the country?s most established institution on dental health. The MoU that we signed today will bring benefit to the two organisations and at the same time, improve the quality of care, research and education in Malaysia,? said Beh.
?Collaborating with UM will allow medical professionals from both sides and dental residents to work closely and identify opportunities on joint research, internship and accelerate the pace of improvement in the field.?
BP Healthcare Group, which is the most diversified healthcare provider in the country, currently has three specialist dental clinics located at the BP Specialist Centres in Glenmarie (Shah Alam), Klang and Ipoh.
The group, through BP Dental Sdn Bhd, will spend RM100 million over the next few years to establish a network of 50 dental clinics and invest in the latest technology to provide comprehensive maintenance, restorative and aesthetic dental care that includes orthodontic treatment, CT scan for treatment planning of dental implants and oral surgery, as well as latest digital imaging system that requires high-end and high cost equipment. - Bernama, July 29, 2013

Having a family history of cancer raises your own risk of the disease -- even if it's not the exact same type, according to a new study.
European researchers found that family history increases the risk of not only concordant cancer -- which is the same cancer -- but also discordant cancer, or a different kind of cancer. The findings, published in the journal Annals of Oncology, held true even after taking into account other potential risk factors, such as alcohol or tobacco use.
"Our results point to several potential cancer syndromes that appear among close relatives and that indicate the presence of genetic factors influencing multiple cancer sites," study researcher Dr. Eva Negri, who is the head of the Laboratory of Epidemiologic Methods at the Mario Negri Institute for Pharmacological Research in Italy, said in a statement. "These findings may help researchers and clinicians to focus on the identification of additional genetic causes of selected cancers and on optimizing screening and diagnosis, particularly in people with a family history of cancer at a young age."
The study is based on data from 12,000 cancer cases that occurred between 1991 and 2009 in 13 different sites, including the kidneys, breast, ovaries, prostate, liver, colorectal, stomach, mouth and esophagus. Researchers compared these cases with 11,000 people who didn't have cancer, and specifically examined family history of cancer and lifestyle risk factors.
Researchers found associations between having a family history of cancer and having a higher risk of cancer yourself, even if the cancer is of a different type. For example, if a woman has a close relative with colorectal cancer, she has a 1.5-fold higher breast cancer risk.
And if a person has a first-degree relative with cancer of the larynx, he or she has a 3.3-fold increased risk of oral or pharyngeal cancer. If a woman had a first-degree relative with breast cancer, she has a 2.3-fold higher ovarian cancer risk.
For people with a first-degree relative with bladder cancer, their own risk of prostate cancer is 3.4-fold higher.
Researchers noted that some of this increased risk of cancer could come from shared environments, such as family smoking or drinking habits. But they also said there's evidence genetics seems to play some sort of role.

I?ve mentioned that food hasn?t been my friend this pregnancy, but at 20 weeks, we?re starting to get friendly again. My palate and appetite still aren?t what they usually are, and probably won?t be until the baby is born.* You know what else hasn?t been my friend? Water.
*Sigh. The sacrifices we make.
I know, I know ? we need water to live, especially in the hot Texas summer, and especially when one is struggling to 1) keep an outdoors-loving (and supervision-needing) kiddo happy and entertained, 2) continue running through the sweltering heat, one very slow step at a time, and 3) gestate a human being. So, yeah, I need to hydrate. I know.
But someone forgot to tell that to my body. When morning sickness was at its roughest, drinking water made me nauseous. Of course, I choked down enough to stay healthy, using various tricks like chilling it (I generally prefer my water room temperature), flavoring it (cucumber slices did the trick there for awhile) and even downing sparkling mineral water, sometimes with a squeeze of lime, as a ?treat.? I know it sounds silly, but nursing a bottle of Topo Chico while everyone else is nursing a beer out in the heat is a lot better than sitting there glumly with a plastic cup of tap water.
But now, in the late July heat, I?m stepping up my game, since I really don?t want dehydration to come creeping in. A friend suggested I try coconut water (blech) or a homemade electrolyte drink, so I did some Googling and found a bunch of recipes. Naturally, I combined recipes this way and that adapted to my own tastes liberally. I didn?t want anything too sweet, since I don?t love drinking my calories (when there is not alcohol involved, that is), and too-sweet drinks seem to increase my thirst, rather than satiate.
Citrus is an important component in an electrolyte drink, since it is high in potassium,* and salt is a must (electrolytes are basically salt). You can use a fancy salt, like Himalayan sea salt, but table salt is okay too. You just need sodium chloride. Unrefined salt contains more trace minerals, so that?s what I used. This version uses honey as a sweetener, which I prefer over refined sugar.
* Oranges especially ? that?s why you so often see stacks and stacks of them, along with bananas, on the food tables after a race.
I let the hubby try my concoction, and he thought it needed more lemon, but he is a sour fiend ? so, play around with it and adjust it to your tastes. I think I may experiment with a lemon-lime version next. Drink up!

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) ? Nate Schierholtz's recent power surge might not be enough to turn the Chicago Cubs season around. It sure is making the year a lot easier for the slugging outfielder to handle.
Getting a game-winning home run against his former club? Well, that's just icing on the cake.
Cheered in every at-bat this series by the crowd at AT&T Park, Schierholtz homered off ex-teammate Sergio Romo with one out in the ninth inning to lift the Cubs to a 1-0 win over the San Francisco Giants on Saturday night.
"I can't really describe it, but it felt good," Schierholtz said. "I always loved playing here. I love the fans here. I couldn't ask for a better reception."
Dropped to sixth in the Cubs' lineup after batting cleanup a night earlier in the club's first game after trading Alfonso Soriano, Schierholtz worked a full count off Romo (3-6) before hitting a towering blast into the right field stands to hand Romo his second loss in as many games.
Schierholtz played with San Francisco from 2007-2012 before getting traded to Philadelphia in exchange for Hunter Pence midway through last season. He signed with Chicago as a free agent in the offseason and had been bothered by shoulder problems earlier in the year before heating up over the past two weeks.
The home run off Romo was Schierholtz's 14th of the season and third on the team's current 10-game road trip. Seven of his 10 hits on the road trip have been for extra bases.
"It's pretty nice to watch," Cubs manager Dale Sveum said. "It's obviously huge for him to do that to his old team."
Starlin Castro added two hits for Chicago, which is 18-13 in its last 31 games.
Madison Bumgarner pitched eight shutout innings for San Francisco but left without a decision. The World Series champs have lost six of seven and are a season-high 11 games under .500.
Since May 13, the Giants have the worst record in the majors at 23-42.
"We're in a tough rut now and we know it," San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. "We just have to keep working and trying. We couldn't even get a cheap hit and we got what we deserve."
Pedro Strop (1-0) pitched one inning for the win despite making two mental mistakes that helped the Giants load the bases with no outs in the eighth. Strop twice made late throws on sacrifice bunt attempts but got out of it when Buster Posey and Pablo Sandoval grounded into forceouts at home and Hunter Pence struck out.
"That was one of our more exciting innings of the year," Sveum said. "We were going to win it or lose it there."
Kevin Gregg worked the ninth for his 21st save to complete the five-hitter, getting pinch-hitter Tony Abreu to ground into a 3-2-3 double play after San Francisco loaded the bases with one out.
The Cubs won their second straight in this three-game set after dropping three of four to the Giants at Wrigley Field in April. Chicago scored two unearned runs in the ninth inning to beat San Francisco 3-2 on Friday.
This one went down to the wire again.
Chicago only got one runner to second base until Schierholtz's homer.
That was enough to hold off the slumping Giants, who were shut out for the ninth time this season.
Both starters were dominant but left without a decision.
Chicago rookie Chris Rusin needed just 27 pitches to get through the third inning and didn't allow a baserunner until Pence's one-out walk in the fifth. One batter later Joaquin Arias grounded a single to center to end the no-hit bid.
Rusin also worked out of a two-on, two-out jam in the sixth and got help in the seventh when first baseman Anthony Rizzo made a leaping stab of Brandon Belt's high liner to strand Pence at third base after he led off the inning with a ground-rule double.
Bumgarner was equally effective until leaving for a pinch hitter in the eighth.
The Giants' most consistent starter this season and an All-Star, Bumgarner overcame a pair of errors behind him and pitched out of a two-on, two-out jam when Andres Torres made a diving catch on Schierholtz's sinking liner in the sixth. He finished with seven strikeouts and two walks.
NOTES: The Giants committed two more errors and lead the majors with 76 this season. ... Giants RHP Ryan Vogelsong threw 45 pitches over 2 2-3 innings in his second rehabilitation outing after going on the disabled list with a fractured right hand. Vogelsong will accompany the big league club on a trip to the White House on Monday before joining Double-A Richmond for his next appearance. ... RHP Tim Lincecum (5-10, 4.73 ERA), who allowed eight runs on Monday in his first start since throwing a no-hitter, pitches for the Giants in the series finale. ... LHP Travis Wood (6-7, 2.95) goes for Chicago and is winless in four career starts against San Francisco. ... Giants pitching coach Dave Righetti rejoined the club after having elbow surgery Wednesday.

A Tennessee widow packaged up some of her husband's ashes in a plastic bottle along with a note and $2, and set him adrift in the Atlantic Ocean on his final adventure last year.
When Gordon Smith died of a brain hemorrhage at the age of 57, his wife Beverly, 56, felt the avid traveler wasn't ready to stop exploring.
Most recently, Gordon Smith's ashes were was found in Key Colony Beach in Florida, having traveled 80 miles since his journey began.
Well-traveled: Beverly Smith sent her husband on his final journey along with a note asking people who found Gordon Scott Smith's ashes to call and tell her where he is
Love of her life: Beverly Smith with her husband Gordon 'Skinny' Smith who passed away in March 2012
Beverly and Gordon Smith took their last trip together in March 2012. Two hours after their return from Costa Rica, Gordon Smith died of a brain hemorrhage.
The couple had been married for 27 years when Gordon Smith died suddenly, leaving Beverly to ponder a future without her travel-loving husband.
?
Gordon Scott Smith was a big man with an even bigger personality. Once, the construction worker playfully took umbrage at a colleague nicknaming him 'Fatty', so Smith became 'Skinny'. The name was so entrenched that even his paychecks were made out to Skinny Smith.
'I don't think his bosses knew his real name,' says Beverly Smith told USA Today.
Message in a bottle: Judi Sidney found Gordon Smith's ashes on the Florida beach in front of her resort
After Gordon was cremated, Beverly Smith placed the ashes, a message explaining that her husband Gordon 'Skinny' Smith loved to travel, and requesting that anyone who came across his ashes call her and let her know where her husband was, and two $1 bills to pay for the calls into a plastic bottle.?
'He loved the ocean. I wanted to let him travel a little and let him sail away,' she said.
She took the bottle to Big Pine Key in Florida, a place the couple had visited on holiday every February since the early '80s and hurled it out into the sea, three weeks after her husband's death.
'We'd blow in and everybody would have a good time,' Beverly told USA Today, describing how Gordon Smith had earned the nickname 'Tennessee Tornado' and shared his moonshine among the other campers at Big Pine Key campsite.
Interesting find: The first person to find Gordon Smith's ashes was Ross, who found the bottle washed up on the beach, then added a note of his own and sent Gordon on his way again
She also spread some of her husband's ashes at a Tennessee lake Skinny Smith loved, and in Costa Rica.
Gordon Smith has not yet had the opportunity to rest in peace - he's too busy touring Florida.
Earlier this month, he turned up at Mile Marker 79 at Islamorada, Florida. A man named Ross found the bottle and added his own note.
'I called his wife to let her know where her husband was and she was so, so happy. She said the money was for a phone call to let her know where he was,' reads Ross' note.
He took his boat out six miles into the ocean and sent Smith on his way.
Upgrade: Judi Sidney transferred Gordon Smith's ashes, the two notes and the cash to a new bottle and added a note of her own and another $1 before Gordon took to the seas again
Last week, Skinny Smith turned up again, this time in Key Colony Beach, Florida. Judi Glunz Sidney was cleaning litter from the shore of the beach in front of Glunz Ocean Beach Hotel and Resort when she noticed a plastic bottle with money and what appeared to be sand inside.
Upon reading Beverly Smith's note, Sidney realized the 'sand' was actually the ashes of Gordon Skinny Smith. She called the number and told Beverly that her husband had made another stop on his journey.
'Judi called the wife in Tennessee, who was excited to know of Gordon's travels! Judi added her note,' the resort posted on its Facebook page.
Journeyman: The bottle containing Gordon Smith's ashes was thrown into the sea at Big Pine Key (A). It was found by Ross at Islamorada (B), then again by Judi Sidney (C)
'We put him in a rum bottle (you know, added a little fun to his trip) with the three notes. We added another $1 in case Gordon travels far and a long distance call is needed.'
Sidney and her husband threw a beach party for Skinny, passing around the letter for everyone present to sign, then the couple drove to Seven Mile Bridge and threw the bottle into the water.
Beverly Smith is still dealing with the grief of losing her husband every day. But hearing of his adventures from people Skinny Smith has managed to touch, even in death, helps her cope.
'I've had a rough time losing my best friend,' she told USA Today.
'You can't change it but you can lift your head up and be thankful? that people can still appreciate love stories - real love stories.'

Berea, Ohio ? Browns offensive tackle Ryan Miller sustained a concussion during a blocking drill in practice Saturday, an injury that shook his teammates.
Miller, who is in his second season with Cleveland, was carted from the field and taken by ambulance to the Cleveland Clinic after he was hurt during one-on-one drills inside the team?s indoor facility. Coach Rob Chudzinski said the 6-foot-7 Miller?s condition has improved.
?He?s doing well,? Chudzinski said following practice. ?He?s responsive and it sounds like things are better at this point.?
The Browns later said Miller has a concussion and was released from the hospital after being treated.
Chudzinski did not see how Miller got hurt, and did not know if the head injury was the result of helmet-to-helmet contact.
Cleveland?s players, wearing shoulder pads for the first time in training camp, were doing blocking drills when Miller wound up on the turf at 4:39 p.m. As medical personnel rushed to aid the motionless Miller, the music inside the field house was turned off and several players took off their helmets and dropped to a knee. After Miller was immobilized and strapped to a backboard, the entire Browns team and coaching staff huddled around the player and prayed.
?Anytime that happens you just pray and just hope for the best and hope everything is OK,? linebacker D?Qwell Jackson said. ?Coach gave us word that he is fine and that?s a good thing. But those are the challenges and the scares that when you sign up for the game there?s a possibility of something like that happening. I?ll tell you what, it made everyone realize that at any moment anything can happen.?
After the 320-pound Miller was wheeled from the building to be taken to the downtown hospital, the Browns continued their practice, which was moved indoors because of bad weather and closed to the public.
Chudzinski was given an update on Miller?s condition during practice and relayed it to his players, who were relieved to hear Miller had improved.
?It?s always tough to see your fellow linemen or one of your teammates go down like that,? Pro Bowl tackle Joe Thomas said. ?It?s hard because obviously there are things more important that football and your health is certainly one of them. Sometimes it?s hard to get back and focused on football when you see a guy laying there and not moving.?
Thomas said Miller got hurt when ?two helmets kind of hit in the wrong way, kind of a freak thing.?
Miller was drafted by the Browns in the fifth round in 2012 out of Colorado. He appeared in eight games as a rookie, and got extended time in the fourth quarter of the season finale at Pittsburgh after John Greco sustained a knee injury.
Miller was a four-year letter winner at Colorado, setting a school record with 48 career starts. He missed just two offensive plays over his final three seasons.
Coach Rex Ryan and general manager John Idzik will get together at some point during training camp and make a final decision on the New York Jets? biggest burning question.
Mark Sanchez or Geno Smith?
It will be a move that will likely affect the entire season. And, it?s one Ryan won?t make alone.
?When you look at who?s going to play, Rex and I are going to talk about that freely,? Idzik, a Detroit native, said Saturday after the team?s second practice of training camp. ?And I like to believe that that has been the case so far, that if you put in that time and effort, when you make the decision, it?s a ?we? decision.
?It?s not one individual.?
In other Jets news, they placed cornerback Aaron Berry, a former Lion, on season-ending injured reserve and signed running back Chad Spann.
Ravens tight end Dennis Pitta dislocated his hip in practice Saturday and is expected to remain sidelined through the Sept. 5 regular season opener.
... Eagles wide receiver Jeremy Maclin, his face covered by a towel, was carted off the field at the NovaCare Complex after he suffered an injury to his right knee.
... Texans running back Arian Foster still is recovering from a right calf strain, but said Saturday that he feels good and shouldn?t be out of camp much longer.
... Panthers rookie guard Edmund Kugbila was carted to the locker room after injuring his right hamstring early in Saturday?s training camp practice.
... Raiders receiver Andre Holmes was suspended for the first four games of the season for violating the NFL policy on performance enhancing substances.
... The Colts put Pat Angerer and defensive end Fili Moala on the physically unable to perform list.
... Linebacker O?Brien Schofield was claimed off waivers by the Seahawks.

?Another of those contacts from this year?s Game Developers Conference has paid off in spades! For those of you not familiar, GDC is a conference focused on and around, you guessed it, game developers. Not so much for media, the public?or military gaming charities looking for handout for the troops. Turns out the small indie motion tracking studio or four-man Android app development team don?t exactly have a lot of product to ship to the Armed Forces.
We did however run into Havok?on the floor. You may not think you know Havok and what they provide, but if you look at the logo, if you?ve ever played a video game, you?re probably familiar with their logo on the startup splash screen. Ever hear of The Last of Us, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 or Battlefield 3? All three have Havoc engines in them in some capacity or another. So swinging by the booth there, Havok?s PR team was interested in getting involved with Operation Supply Drop, but they weren?t sure how they could help.
Flash forward a few months, and Havok comes out of left field with the makings of a full supply drop delivered to our door. They even had a series of Havok t-shirts printed especially for the guys downrange to commemorate their support! Pretty swanky! Also, a big shout out to EA who donated the games to Havok to send to us, which allowed them to donate the Xbox and controllers!

MIAMI (Reuters) - A tenant went on a shooting rampage at a Florida apartment building, killing six people before a SWAT team killed him and rescued two neighbors he was holding hostage on Saturday, police said.
The hostages were unharmed, police in the Miami suburb of Hialeah said.
The standoff began on Friday evening during an argument between the gunman and the husband and wife who ran the apartment complex. Their bodies were among the six found after the SWAT team moved in on Saturday morning, police said.
The gunman, identified by police as Pedro Vargas, 42, lived in a fourth-floor apartment with his mother and may have been facing eviction, police and neighbors said.
The landlords, 78-year-old Italo Pisciotti and 68-year-old Camira Pisciotti, went to the unit to discuss a problem with the gunman, who opened fire and killed them both, police said.
The gunmen went to another apartment in the building and shot dead a man and woman and their teenage daughter, and fired from a balcony at a man walking into a building across the street, killing him as well.
He also fired at emergency crews and police, missing them but preventing them from giving immediate aid to the victims, police said.
The shooter then barricaded himself inside a fifth-floor apartment where he took two neighbors hostage, investigators said. Negotiators made contact with him during the night and the SWAT team swarmed in after the talks broke down about 2 a.m.
At some point during the melee, the gunman set his apartment on fire, leaving the ceiling and hallway charred and setting off sprinklers that soaked part of the building. His mother collapsed and was taken to a hospital, police said.
The apartment complex in the blue-collar, mostly Hispanic community housed about 90 families.
Camira Pisciotti's first name had earlier been given incorrectly as Samira.
