They think you're not a complete bonehead relying on a few extra degrees on your lap as birth control.
wait...sex...without children 9 months later?!?
ROCK ON!!!! LETS PARTY!
My 12" PB will probably end up making me impotent. Oh well I'll just clone myself.

Uhh. tough luck, hopefully you mean infertile, not impotent! Otherwise there would be reason to worry...
However, temporary "infertility" wont stop me from couch-surfing on my iBook... pros vs. cons. since I don't plan on having children anytime soon that one answers itself...

i don't mind him having the 17" powerbook on his lap for 16 hours a day, as long as i get the remaining 24h - [time spent with macs] / day
i won't mind the "side effect" since it's desided, but i think i don't trust that as the only way to not get to trouble ...
heh. wonder when hte next powerbooks come with a warning label such as "do not use powerbook as a birth control".

they should come with a jock strap made out of that stuff the space shuttle uses for insulation.

I hear that stuff's not too reliable, really. Only the best for my balls.

so it's only temporary infertility? it won't permanently mess up your sperm? deformities and the like?
There are no guarantees in life... and the study in reference (link ) is inconclusive on long term effects (they need money for their lab)... this is however a subject that has come up before, in 2000 a study showed increased scrotal temperatures in car drivers (link ), but I don't think people stop driving cars... In rats, short term effects have been shown to be reversible in a 10 week period (link )
All in all, nobody really knows anything
To keep the testicles at an ideal temperature ? and for greater comfort ? men naturally sit with their legs further apart than women.
The problem with the Lap Desk is that it compromises part of the intrinsic functionality of a laptop computer by being not particularly portable.
I would have thought that Apple, with their flair for design, could have come up with some sort of device that extended and retracted from the laptop itself which would clamp around a bloke's thighs thereby allowing said bloke to spread 'em far and wide with the laptop suspended in midair in between, leaving the ventilation process to do its job as nature intended.
Hell they could incorporate a special Testes Fan? in the front to provide additional cooling on extra hot days or to counter the effects of global warming. It could be a selling point. Burn a disk not your balls. The coolest portable computers just got cooler. Introducing the new Made for Men Powerbook. You'd be nuts not to want one.

Especially in public coffee shops!

So I've clicked on the link to Giaguara's reply and, you know, near enough is good enough but I haven't looked at the name so I think I'm reading Giaguara's words and I'm sitting here thinking to myself "Giaguara you become more of a mystery to me everyday."
Then I see the name.
Typical, you old perv.
You don't have to tell me that all the fantasies floating round in your head involve the 17 inch.
You're a sick, sick man.

Er...
"man?" Sorry no... Sitting next to HER at the moment. SHE is quite, pleasantly peverted. I just wanted to correct this little bit of gender confusion.
