iPhone 4G Scavenger Hunt - Island Pond, NH [Map]
On January 28th a group of three 4-wheelers headed out on the ice for a loop around Island Pond. It was 12AM and there was about 10 inch's of snow above the ice. The iPhone fell out of my pocket and into the snow some where along the route shown in Google Maps (Below). The battery died and could not be geolocated. After several trips and even an excursion by foot the next day the phone was not found.
This is an open challenge for anyone interested in finding an iPhone 4. I am willing to pay a cash prize to the person who locates it or, you can keep the phone. Entirely up to you. Good luck and good hunting!

AR Drone Full Teardown - iFixit
iFixit.com has a full teardown of the AR Drone and all its parts. In the image below, you can see the ROCm Atheros AR6102G-BM2D b/g Wi-Fi module (bordered in orange). I wonder if this is replaceable with an 'N' wi-fi module.
