Sandia's Laptop Heatpipes Closer To Market

developed small copper 'wicks' to transport methanol--and waste heat--from one area of a computer to another, where it can be dispersed more efficiently, comfortably and compactly than with heat sinks. The technology is being licensed to an undisclosed startup." So this stuff (mentioned here previously) might soon make it to a lap near you.
The bodies of the thousands of innocent civilians who died (and will die) in these unprecedented events could give a good god damn about obscure science fiction, your childish Lego models, your nerf toy guns and whining about the lack of a "fun" workplace, your Everquest/Diablo/D&D fixation, the latest Cowboy Bebop rerun, or any of the other ways you are "getting on with your life" (here's a hint: watching Cowboy Bebop in your jammies and eating a bowl of Shreddies is *not* "getting on with your life"). The souls of the victims are watching in horror as you people squander your finite, precious time on this earth playing video games!

Hmm? I drink my coffee at 180F.. right on the edge of scalding, like it should be. Every time I go buy coffee, I have to tell 'em to make it 180 degrees, otherwise it's just too cold.
...si hoc legere nimium eruditionis habes...
This reminds me - does anyone know how to check the processor temperature in os x?
