The early Windows phone devices were liquid-cooled, sort of

Jim Lyon shares this story about early Windows phone devices:

I remember during early development of Windows phones, our solution to the overheating problems. You would get two cans of soda from the fridge, set one on the desk, set the phone on top of that, and set the other on top of the phone. You were then good for an hour or so. We probably had the only liquid-cooled phones on the planet.

Raymond has been involved in the evolution of Windows for more than 30 years. In 2003, he began a Web site known as The Old New Thing which has grown in popularity far beyond his wildest imagination, a development which still gives him the heebie-jeebies. The Web site spawned a book, coincidentally also titled The Old New Thing (Addison Wesley 2007). He occasionally appears on the Windows Dev Docs Twitter account to tell stories which convey no useful information.
