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 Egg Nutrition Center:

    Egg white coagulates between 144 and 149F, egg yolk coagulates between 149 and 158F and whole eggs between 144 and 158F. Plain whole eggs without added ingredients are pasteurized but not cooked by bringing them to 140F and maintaining that temperature for 3 and 1/2 minutes.

    Granted, it probably took something like 3 times as long than if he had used a stove, but thats obviously not the point.
    That doesn't say that it took 3 times as long, it's just a candid guess by the article writer.

      I'd say the:

      If you didn't know yet this is a
      joke.

      at the end of the article makes the summary a tad more incorrect than that.

    From TFA:
    Now you know the secret of the overheating notebook.

    If you didn't know yet this is a joke.

    (you guys really need to read the whole thing)

  4. This is faked - and really a joke. by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Informative

    Take a look at the original link:

    It mentions that it is in fact a joke.

    Laptops and notebooks are never supposed to be placed on cushions, pillows, blankets or other padded and insulating material. For God's sake, every single user's manual for notebooks and laptops have stated just that ever since they came out!

    If you want to use a notebook or laptop, then follow the extremely basic rule of keeping the vents clear and if possible, place on a hard surface.
    Again, just as it says in the bloody user manual.
