I don’t know what is going on with my computer but it is getting so hot that it is burning my wrists. I’m actually sweating from using the laptop because of the heat. If anyone out there has any ideas please leave me a comment. It is incredibly frustrating. I thought that the fan would have kicked on by now but nothing. It is a 15″ MacBook Pro that was purchased in August 2008. It is my work computer so if worse comes to worse the machine will be sent in for repair but that means that I will be without it for as long as it is being repaired. I unfortunately don’t have a mac backup machine other than my personal white macbook.

Update: The symptoms have gone away. No more heating up beyond the normal temperature.

I should have professed my love for the tabs on top during the Safari 4 beta but alas I kept to myself and now Safari is just like the others. Why did Apple not at the very least offer a choice between the original and the new and improved tabs placement? I just upgraded my beta 4 by accident today (I kept unchecking the Safari 4 upgrade) and I’m about to Time Machine it back to the beta. Finally on my 13″ MacBook I was able to have both tabs and my Bookmarks bar visible. Now I have to again disable my bookmarks bar so that I can have tabs visible. There is once again a hunk of gray mass at the top of my window that does nothing but display the title of the page. The complaint I read the most was that people didn’t like that you had to move the window around by grabbing a tab. Anyone that needs that much real estate just to move the window well I feel for you. Anyway, that is my rant. I could go on but the people have spoken and tabs on top are gone for now. I bet the majority of the people that wanted the old tabs back are probably the same ones that “voted for change”.

Last night the folks over at MacHeist had their bundle reveal show. You should check this out because it is a great deal for everyone. It is a $39 bundle of Macintosh applications that would sell individually for $558. Also 25% of the proceeds goes to charity so you can feel even better parting with $39 because $9.75 of it goes to a good cause. And once the bundle reaches $100,000 in charity money then additional applications are unlocked and made available to everyone who has bought and will buy the bundle. It is a good thing! So use the link below to purchase your copy of the bundle or give it as a gift if you don’t own a mac. You and your mac will appreciate it very much. MacHeist Software Bundle
