Apple MacBook Air overheating?

It seems there are users of the new macbook air, which are still having overheating problems with there new toys. I must admit when I used one, I noticed it did seem to fry when you were doing anything that demanded a high load on it. No real surprise to me to be honest and even when I first see one, I thought how on earth they going to keep this thing cool? The fan inside the unit has to be small also and personally its no surprise these are getting so hot when in heavy use. And also for long term reliability you have got to keep a laptop as cool as possible. The small enclosed form factor and the power of cpu’s , hard disk etc means all laptops get hot, and as ncie and pretty as the new Air is, making anything that thin is a worry about not only how it will perform now, but is the thinness of it going cause problems down the road? I would love to get a sniff of the failed  units returns figures on these so far;-) As always, its better to wait for the next revision 2 of a apple product and also the price cut and then I will get one myself πŸ˜‰

2 gorgeous days

My word, we have had 2 lovely days here in the UK, its been blue skys and temps around 15c , pretty darn nice for early Feb! Mind you last year we have a couple of warm nice weeks in April and then after that it rained all summer! So I do hope this is not all we are going to get again! But was sure nice to see some sunny and mild days after the lack of any summer last year! Still back to normal weather tomorrow onwards I hear πŸ˜‰

Macworld Jan 2008

Its that time of year already when Steve or Jesus to his many loyal apple fans shows what new tricks he has up his sleeve.

I would expect it surely to be some kind of ultra laptop with a flash drive of some sort, maybe wimax too? And of course with a apple price tag to match. πŸ˜‰

A updated 3g iPhone for later in the year? Maybe with gps in it?

For sure Movie rentals, iphone SDK…

Tune in on the web on the many sites at 5pm UK time to find out what treasures he will dish up πŸ˜‰

For sure it will be a darn sight more intresting then CES 2008 seemed to be from all I have read.

Put me down for the updated iPhone, since I have been able to install 3rd party apps, it does everything I need it to now and have to say its the best phone I have used πŸ™‚

So hopefully in the next version they will make sure it supports all that any mobile phone comes with these days with that great interface πŸ™‚

Rescued Horses

Dont know how many others see the news on tv last night or the papers about the horse farm in the UK , where the RSPCA went in and saved a load of horses from someone I cant even find words to describe.

3 of the poor horses had to be put down straight away and the others are so terrified of humans, it will probably takes years of special care to try to overcome what this so called human being has done to them.

Its a truly tragic story and go knows why in this day and age , that there are people like that around. There is so much bad going on in the world with wars, how people treat each other etc and yet some decide to make lives hell for animals that cant fight back or call for help.

At least you know that those who now care and help those poor Horses and Donkey’s will be some of the nicest caring people around, and for that they at least now have a chance.

If you wish to help towards the fund for them:-

Call the RSPCA on 0300 1238484 or Redwings on 01508 481000.
