Frozen iPod returns from the grave
Filed under: Analysis / Opinion, Hardware, Multimedia, Odds and ends, iPod classic
Andrew sent us this great story — he found an iPod classic in the melting snow of Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. It had apparently been there “since early winter,” and was frozen solid… as is the case, we’d imagine, with most things left outside there between September and April.
Incredibly, though, once taken home, cleaned up, and given a warm cup of tomato soup and a grilled cheese, it started right back up again. Everything was completely intact — he says it even displayed the correct date. Pretty impressive for Apple’s little music player (and mine’s even stuffed in a Vaja case, so I know it’ll always run for me — assuming I don’t drop it in a pile of snow somewhere).
He says there is a name on the iPod, so if you’ve been around the Whitehorse area and have recently dropped your iPod near a place called Takhini School, leave him a note and he will probably be able to get it back to you. But do it quick — he’s giving things about a week, and then it’s finder’s keepers. We don’t blame him: who wouldn’t want an indestructible iPod?

Filed under: Hardware, iPhone, iPod touchThe iPhone Blog has posted a screenshot of a warning screen that the iPhone 3G produces when it's over heated. According to Apple, it's totally legit. From the Knowledge Base: "Operate iPhone 3G in a place where the temperature is between 0º and 35º C (32º to 95º F) ... If the interior temperature of iPhone 3G exceeds normal operating temperatures, you may experience [the] Temperature warning screen."Here in New England, we don't see temperatures above 95º F often. Still, I have felt it heat up pretty good after playing music for two hours straight
