Doesn't putting something on your lap get in the way while you are doing what the Internet was invented for?
Get the vibrate option. I did.

Here's the Snopes.com link - www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/laptop.asp
Discusses how the higher temperatures can affect the boys, especially if you are in the market for making a family.

Well, laptop heat is not the result of the Wifi connection. The heat is from the laptop itself and all the internal components. So I wouldn't worry about the wifi connection, instead worry about heat in general from your laptop. Depending on what type of laptop the hotter it can get. My laptop will get pretty hot after a couple of hours, no way I can put it in my lap after that.

I think elsewhere could also be concerned about the radio waves from the wifi transceiver.

Am I microwaving my "boys"?
If that's true, boy am I in trouble. I've got thousands of hours with a wifi laptop on my lap

OK, go to 'Start', 'All Programs' and look for the 'Common Sense' Application.
R U the only male doing this?
Has this been happening for enough years for a wave of fertility issues confined to male laptop users with WiFi to be detected?
If the answers to the above are not enough, consider;
In a recent experiment, people who claimed to be extra sensitive to mobile phone masts were found to be unable to tell whether they were on or off, but if they thought they were on they still felt ill and manifested physiological symptoms.
Not one cluster of illness related to mobile phone masts has been proven to any satisfactory level or scientific rigour.
The best longitiudinal (over time) studies to date have not found any linkage between mobile phone use and and health issues in normal usage. 'Continual' usage for ten years or more might have a very small chance of giving you a brain tumour.
Workers in ocupations that exposed them to high RF radiation in the past 50 years have provided no evidence of increased occupational health risks, apart from one or two people who accidentally cooked themselves in freak accidents.
WiFi access points and cards et. al use power levels at most 10% as high as the most powerful modern cell phones, more usually around 2%.
Basically, you are more at risk from tight jeans or underwear. and the heat of a laptop's other innards raising the temperature of your balls to one unsuited to spermatogensis, than the minute thermal load of a WFi connection, or any other RF risks of the same.

I remember hearing once that traffic police using radar guns had a higher rate of testicular cancer. Seems they were resting the device in their laps when not aiming them. I don't know if this was ever confirmed. I do know that putting your scrotum in a microwave oven is a no no, especially if you close the door.

Sure does for me!Nope - in fact the warmth adds to the experience. But then I don't have an "boys" down there. More's the pity.
