According to Re/Code, Apple will reveal the new iPhone 6 (with A8 processors, an upgraded OIS camera and a choice of 12cm [4.7in] or 14cm [5.5in] displays, as mocked up alongside the smaller 1Phone5 above) at a special event on the 9th of September. The new generation phones will probably be available 10 days later.

A Danish airforce F-16 pilot launches an AIM-L9/M missile on a training exercise.
Dave Cencotti of The Aviationist adds:
Self-portrait photographs (nowadays known as “selfies“) have always been a must among fighter jocks and you can find thousands taken by military pilots in the most unusal flight conditions. However, selfies taken while launching missiles are much more rare just because firing activities involving the launch of an air-to-air missile don’t take place too often.
Here’s a video of the incident.

You may recall how a group of young asylum seekers wanted to make an information booklet and DVD explaining the Irish asylum process in a child-friendly way to other asylee children.
They were seeking help to raise €3,100 to complete the project via Fundit.
Well they did it.
And they’re currently launching the booklet and DVD at the European Parliament Office on Molesworth Street, Dublin.
Fair play.

If it’s not a new iPad, we’re calling the Smut Police.

TELEVISION HAD “accelerated the massive social transformation” in Irish society over the past 50 years, broadcaster John Bowman said last night.
He was speaking at the launch of his book, Window and Mirror: RTÉ Television 1961- 2011, which looks at the key moments and controversies since RTÉ Television first began broadcasting.
Launching the volume, Taoiseach Enda Kenny said it was a wonderful read by a broadcaster who had “the kind of decency and integrity we all aspire to in our lives on a daily basis”.

Steve and friends, stripped down to their superlatives.
More awesome than 5 Minutes of Awesomeness.
Less wordy than a day’s liveblogging.
