One of the things I enjoy most about wifi is the way I can sit in my favorite living room recliner and surf the web while watching spongbob.
I was just sitting here browsing around the web when it suddenly occurred to me: Am I microwaving my "boys"?
Has anyone heard if there is are, ahem, "manly" dangers to using a laptop on the lap?
I have a mac book pro and that thing can cook! You'll never catch me leaving it on my lap for less than a few minutes, i'd be in big trouble.
Yes, I have heard a report about this. However, if you get an icepack with honey on it and cool them down, the effect is neutralized. Oh yeah, you have to be sitting only on your right buttock cheek for this to work.
Obviously this doesn't apply to me. But please protect the boys, very important. If body heat can lower the sperm count I guess a hot lap top can too
just my 2cents

Elsewhere, I share your method of surfing the web. I too find it one of my most enjoyable pastimes. If it could be proven it was a sure fire method of birth control, that would be great. Now if it's gonna give me some tumors on Mr.Slant Eye, then that's a different story.
Doesn't putting something on your lap get in the way while you are doing what the Internet was invented for?
Sure does for me!
90% of my surfing is with my wifi on my lap. My laptop cycles it's cooling fan and the exhaust comes out of the left edge. I cut a piece of masonite to fit the laptop and this allows it to breath from the bottom vents even if I'm in bed and it's setting on blankets. I have had no complaints from the Ugly Brute or the boys.
Wifi puts out a very level of power so I wouldn't worry about it. However you should never use a cell phone /broadband transmitter on your lap.
The bible says laying down with a laptop is an abomination. Hope that helps.
Try a thin, lead blanket placed under your laptop..... (works for Superman).
