Cook Your Breakfast With MacBook

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the preparation-of-food-with-heat dept.

Kisom writes "Everyone knows Apple isn't famous for their cold notebooks. Dan Lurie however discovered it was possible to cook eggs on the bottom of his MacBook. Even though it took three times as long to cook the egg, Apple should probably be concerned."

    From the summary: Even though it took three times as long to cook the egg, Apple should probably be concerned. Actually McDonalds should be concerned. Apple is coming out with a previously unannounced, now leaked, new product, the Egg MacMuffin.

      Titanium PowerBook G4s (either 450MHz or 600MHz, I forget) can get frelling hot.

      Like, flash point of some fabrics hot.

      Right, but you have to hang upside-down to fry that baby and use the computer at the same time... you know, like Batman! Have fun!

      Suppose you could be "Mac"man... but I somehow doubt that a guy in tights with a rainbow colored apple on his chest is going to stop any criminals in their tracks.

      > on his chest is going to stop any criminals in their tracks ...until those same criminals realize his main power is spontaneously generating ungodly amounts of heat in any object in a very short amount of time. You'd think twice about trying to pull a gun on a superhero who just caused your buddy's teeth to explode in his head without so much as blinking. Oh, you might try to run, but I think one of his other powers is immobolizing you on a platform, making it impossible for you to migrate anywhere else. Criminals are dragged off to jail where they sit until they Switch or Think Different.

      I've heard, however, that Macman is vulnerable to flying chairs, and that you can force him to revert to mortal form (a la Shazam back to Billy Batson) by shouting "Developers!" over and over. In fact, this was how he was defeated back in issue #382 by his arch nemesis performing both actions silmutaneously. Macman only barely fended off the storm of flying chairs by counteracting it with a storm of flying toasters and then wounding his arch-enemy with his very last HyperCard.

    Didn't they have the iGrill on thinkgeek?

    But doesn't it just overheat in the most user-friendly, fashionable, ultra-hip and trendy way?

    Should you run out of supplies for your own experiment, you can get a fresh dozen from newegg.

    With the designer colors, this cookware seems less Emeril and more Martha Stewart, doesn't it?

    Exactly. If you have no idea where your battery is, you probably aren't the target market for beta-testing software. I can just imagine what that guy's bug reports would look like.
