Sounds like that guy just is refusing to admit he was looking at porn. :) The Intel Banias processor should solve this problem.

Maybe Intel should use this as their new marketing strategy. :D

I find it very hard to believe that someone, regardless how stupid, could inflict 2nd degree burns to their genitals without realizing it.

If this is true, it was apparently a Dell Latitude (source: register)).

Piece of advice: don't buy a laptop with a desktop CPU. I had one and it kept on crashing due to overheating. It would be fine so long as the idle process was the primary time eater but would die when it got hot enough.

I don't really want to know :eek:

i had read the whole article, and supposedly he was wearing pants, here is a quote from it "Ostenson noted that the computer manual did warn against operating it directly on exposed skin but said the patient had lap burns even though he had been wearing trousers and underpants."

well, snuggling up in bed on a cold nite with his warm and beguiling laptop situated where it was with it doing it's thing probably was an irresistable turn-on for him? :eek:
