Behold the first self-propelled ice sculpture ever—a truck made of ice that actually works! It’s a real truck, using 11,000 pounds of ice over a regular truck chassis complete with engine and electrical system. Check out the videos to see how they built it—and how it melted.

We have seen mobile phones change in size over the years, most notably getting smaller and smaller in form factor until the explosion of touchscreen smartphones that eventually saw a movement in the opposite direction – that the display size itself starts to grow more and more, so much so an entire new category of devices had been created, being known as the “phablet”. Well, smartphones might be taking this particular design route, but not so with the $39.99 iMpulse, which is touted to be the smallest wireless controller for mobile devices in the world. Basically, with the iMpulse, you will be able to take full control of virtually any iOS or Android-powered Media Player app within a range of a hundred feet.
The iMpulse is small enough to fit into any pocket or handbag comfortably, where you can then control the volume on an iPhone’s playlist, or to use it as a D-pad for your Android games. It will connect to a compatible device using Bluetooth technology, and can also double up as a camera remote with your smartphone. Ah, that means you will need to get one of those tripods with flexible legs in order to take full advantage of it. The buttons themselves feature white backlight, making it a snap to play even when it is pitch black around you. A full charge of the rechargeable lithium polymer battery offers up to 9 hours of non-stop play.

Apple warned several days ago that it was possible that the latest update to the iPhone could brick unlocked phones, but most people took it as a scare tactic. Unfortunately for them, Apple was right and many of the modified phones no longer work. Fortunately though, not all of the unlocking software causes problems, and the update from Apple is optional.
Not only are modified phones having issues, iPhone owners that have never altered their phones are also reporting issues after installing the update. Some of these unaltered phones simply won’t work anymore while other users are reporting that their contact info, photos and music are getting deleted. Another big issue that iPhone owners are having is that any 3rd party apps that they installed no longer work. Regarding the 3rd party apps, TUAW says, “If you somehow managed to upgrade while keeping your iPhone apps intact–I have yet to hear a confirmation of this happening, and I kinda doubt it can happen — congratulations. Everyone else is out of luck.”
While this update is optional, it’s a pretty big one. Changes include:
Need an iPhone Relocker?
So now the question is, what do you do with your iBrick? If you didn’t alter your phone and it doesn’t work, take it back to Apple to get a replacement. If you unlocked your phone, unfortunately you’re out of luck for now. Your phone is not covered by the warranty anymore, and you’ll need to wait for an iPhone relocker to get released. The iPhone Dev Team which released a version of iUnlock has said that they will provide a tool within the next week that will allow you to restore your iPhone to a “factory-like-state” – or in other words, locked to the AT&T network.
