Gamera 2 sets new unofficial human-powered helicopter flight record

The Gamera 2 has just entered the record books by setting a new unofficial human-powered helicopter flight record, thanks to Kyle Gluesenkamp from the A. James Clark School of Engineering's Gamera 2 team sometime at the end of June. This particular record was recently ratified by the National Aeronautic Association (NAA), and it has also been forwarded over to the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale in order to gain approval for it to be an official new world record. The new official national record stands at 49.9 seconds, so kudos to the entire crew over at the University of Maryland who were involved in this particular project.

Next iPhone's tiny docking connector possibly spotted

We've seen the rumored next iPhone's minuscule docking port more than once. Any of the cabling that plugs into that port, however, has been non-existent until today. If photos slipped to Nowhereelse.fr are more than just flights of fancy, they show a much narrower and possibly slimmer connector that matches up with the hole we've seen. It's so small that a full-size USB connector dwarfs it by comparison, and there's only eight contact pins per side (or possibly total) versus the 30 overall that we know today.
