This message appears when the operating temperature has become too hot. This is a safety mechanism that protects the components of your iPhone 3G. If this message appears, you should turn iPhone 3G off, move it to a cooler environment, and allow it to cool before resuming use.

Note: When this message appears, iPhone 3G may still be able to make emergency calls.

Some conditions and activities that may activate the Temperature warning message:

Leaving iPhone 3G in a car on a hot day.
Leaving it in direct sunlight for extended amounts of time.
Using certain applications in hot conditions or direct sunlight for long periods of time, such as GPS tracking in a car on a sunny day or listening to music while in direct sunlight.

That's from Apple's Support web pages, and that screen is what someone called Jeff got last week. He was sitting next to a pool in Scottsdale, Arizona.

His fix: "I put the iphone between two cold beers and it worked!"

We like Jeff. [Apple and Flickr via The iPhone Blog]

X-Touch is a product of Newform Italy, and looks to be either a sink faucet or a bath faucet. Either way, we're glad to not be burning our hands/mouths/genitals from water that's just slightly too scalding. If they can only mesh this with the type of showerhead that you can set it to a certain temperature and shut off automatically, this would be the ultimate faucet.

For a baby less than 3 months old, the armpit is the best, while a kid older than 4 or 5 years will be better with an oral check. The unlucky babies between 3 months and 4 yours are, I'm a afraid, stuck with the thermometer up their buttocks. Technicalities aside, however, this design is, if not accurate, at least cute and fool-proof: Once it's done, the thermometer will flash a LED light and beep. [Yanko Design]

The patch is a small rubberized gizmo (with a new efficient battery that lasts eight months) and it sticks to your skin and measures your basal body temperature way more accurately than other systems: this temperature rises minutely during ovulation.

When the wireless reader unit gets the info on your temperature change, it then lets you know the best time to try out some baby-making with symbols on its display, or a readout on your PC— it's got a USB connection. Easy peasy, and no pee samples or early wake-ups for manual temp measurements that similar devices require. Human trials are scheduled for next month, and the device may be on sale as soon as the Fall. [Daily Mail via Dvice]

What's even better for people who live in cold places or don't like to run outside (me) is that there are sensors for talking to exercise machines to fetch data. The only downside? Nike's slow-ass development cycle means you're not going to see this for another year or two. Seriously. Some of these leaked Nike products back from January 2007 still haven't been released.

SONY INTRODUCES NEW RACK SYSTEM DELIVERING WHOLE HOUSE HD ENTERTAINMENT AND CONTROL

Next-Generation System Saves Time and Money for the Custom Installation Market

LAS VEGAS, Feb. 26, 2007 - Designed for faster and easier installation, Sony today announced a new high-end, fully featured NHS rack system that delivers whole house high-definition entertainment and control over movies, music, lighting, temperature and security systems.

The NHS-130C rack system provides 7.1 channel, high-definition home theater for the living room, plus HD video distribution and multi-room music in 12 additional zones. The system comes fully integrated with Control4 technology, which offers whole home automation by synchronizing lighting, temperature control and security systems through a large onscreen display. Integrators can choose to add any of Control4's vast array of keypads, wireless touch panels, and climate and lighting controls to operate the home's sub-systems.

The NHS rack also features an iPod® in-wall dock with content navigation and control, along with a Middle Atlantic AXS shelf structure for easy access to equipment and cabling.

"The NHS-130C model pairs a top of the line home theater system with whole home automation that can be fully integrated and installed in a fraction of the time normally required for custom installers to build and integrate the system themselves," said Neal Manowitz, director of marketing for Sony Electronics' consumer systems and applications division. "Because the system is already pre-racked and pre-integrated, installation becomes extremely simple, saving integrators significant time and money."

"Incorporating Control4's leading controller and operating system into Sony's pre-integrated home theater system brings practical, easy-to-use home automation solutions to any residence," said Will West, chief executive officer at Control4. "We are extremely pleased to work closely with Sony on this innovative approach to simplify installation and bring to life the digital home for a broader market of homes."

The NHS-130C system incorporates 7.1 channel surround sound using a Sony ES receiver with upscaling of video content to 1080p via HDMI. It includes a 400-disc DVD/CD changer with a management system, a 160GB music server, a Blu-ray Disc™ player, an AM/FM/XM/SIRIUS tuner, and the ability to add three auxiliary devices for connecting additional components like a high-definition cable box or a PlayStation® gaming console.

The system will be available this spring with a fully installed price that will vary based on the components added. Typical installations will range from $40,000 to $85,000. Information about the Sony NHS systems is available online at HYPERLINK "http://www.sony.com/newhome" www.sony.com/newhome. Homebuilders, dealers and installers should call 1-866-924-7669 for details.

The Bath-O-Matic is equipped to run on home automation equipment from AMX and Crestron if you want to fill your tub from the comfort of your couch, and can fit on tubs both old and new. It also includes a motorized plug so no water is wasted, and adjusts to pressure and outside temperature so you won't have to worry about getting burned. Just slap a toaster and an iPod on this baby, and I think we have a real winner. It sells for 4000 (about $8000) so you better get one before supplies run out. [Bath-O-Matic via CE Pro]

Even though we have no kids of our own, we still really want one of these. We swear we've burned our peepees for the last time, Trebek. – Jason Chen

On the performance side, this upgraded model does cool "a lot better than the stokc intel cooler", but isn't terribly quiet, and doesn't cool enough for overclocking. Plus, the temperature's only in Celcius and the decibel meter is only theoretical noise level, not an actual noise reading.

In the end we're not sure how practical displaying this info on the actual CPU fan is, but it sure is neat. Hit the jump for a video.
