Heat Insulators for Laptops

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-its-stupid dept.

Alex Bischoff writes "The Gadgeteer has a review of a product called LapPads from LapLogic. They're heat-insulating pads to protect you from cooking your lap when using your laptop. Depending on the model, they apparently provide up to 57 degrees (F) reduction in heat transfer. Why didn't someone think of this sooner?"

    When I saw this headline, I thought to myself, "I bet some loser is going to post a link to the story about the guy that burned his penis." Thanks for not disappointing me.

    They sell generic equivalents of these heat-insulating thingys at Wal-Mart.

    They're called towels.

    Hey, for some of us, the laptop and the genitals are in symbiosis - neither would get much use without the other.

    The delicate balance of this relationship is mediated by DSL, screen cleaner and paper towels.

    But you have to make sure you tell IE or Firefox to reject all cookies or else... well, it could be messy...

    Because most of us wear pants when using a laptop?
