Instead of gas-powered ice cream vans that require generators, Nissan built a prototype with electric batteries for rechargeable, renewable soft-serve.

The internet dragged Apple’s design like one might drag a fresh block of sharp cheddar down a handheld metal grate, and wondered if anyone ever dared to use the $5,999 innovation to literally grate cheese, would it work.
Sadly, we’ll have to wait a bit longer to answer that pressing question, as the new Mac Pro hasn’t been released yet, but YouTuber
Winston Moy did his best to recreate the case and carry out his own experiment. Read more…
