Cook Your Breakfast With MacBook

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."

    Macs have always been the pinnacle of computers - but ever since they were forced to turn to Intel they seem to have a "we just don't give a shit anymore" attitude.

    I wouldn't be surprised if Apple wants to just make iPods from now on...

      Macs have never been the pinnacle of computers, and have seldom been the pinnacle of personal computers - in fact, they haven't since shortly after the release of the initial macintosh, which is arguably the only one which was really inspiring in its day. In particular, no Macintosh has ever come close to comparing to the Unix workstation of its time.

      In the 68k days, the Amiga made it look like a little bitch. An Amiga 2500 with an emplant board was faster than a Mac IIci when emulating said machine - and they have the same processor. Today, macs are just intel-based PCs, and you might as well buy one from Dell, aside from the OS. You'll probably get better service, sad as that is.

      Oh and the PPC601 through G3 were pathetic compared to the competition, the G4 had piss-poor price:performance, and so did the G5. Snootchie boochies!
