Hot Enough

I remember back in the early 80's when I lived in Nebraska someone saying that the sidewalk that summer was "hot enough to fry an egg." I don't remember this very vividly, though; I was five or six years old.

Now I've heard that some of the more powerful laptops today emit high levels of thermal energy (read: they get hot). This HP TC1100 tablet PC gets pretty warm sometimes, and I think my Dell Inspiron 1100 actually started to cook the meat on my palms if I typed at it long enough.

Well, here's news. Engadget says someone actually cooked an egg on a new MacBook. Literally hot enough.

Now here's a moneymaker: underwear that protects you from your laptop! Watch your packages, boys.
