It’s getting hot in here
Posted by Ray @ 2:31 pmSome of you have probably read that laptop computers lower sperm counts if you place them on your laps for extended periods. In fact, I dimly remember an incident when a user actually got his lap physically burned (only I’ve forgotten the link).
I guess that makes the average notebook-toting busy Singaporean businessman / computer geek / university student a barren wasteland. No wonder Singaporean girls are hooking up with our Aryan brethren - their nuts haven’t been shrivelled by our ubiquitous technological lifestyle yet! Maybe our Government ought to look into this for their faster-faster-get-laid campaign. Who wants baby bonuses? We want cool laps!
Of course, the internet being what it is (and people being what they are), a variety of ideas taking advantage of our computer’s prodigious heat output have cropped up. Take a look at this little gizmo; ostensibly, it cools your lap by transferring heat away from the laptop. It also doubles as a USB port! Alternatively, you could check out the plethora of (pricey) CPU cooling options available to geeks everywhere. Don’t play-play, insufficient cooling will fry your system. Better yet, if you’ve got money to burn (hurr hurr) you can always go the liquid nitrogen route and cool your rig to -190°C.
But the prize has to go to this little gem. Fried eggs on your computer! Whatever will they think of next…
