The MacBook has been attracting the wrong kind of attention for the wrong reason: its excessive heat. One man claimed the MacBook burned his wife's leg (which unlike many movie stars' gams were not insured for a million dollars, unfortunately). And some bloggers claim the MacBook gets soo hot it can cook an egg. Of course, they were being rhetorical.

But MacBook owner Derek went a step further... several steps further...to prove that the unit can actually double as a hot plate. He says his MacBook temperature reaches 159 degrees Fahrenheit. Enough to literally cook an egg, rather slowly, but definitely cooked. Now he's putting together a bunch of recipes which you can cook on your McBook. Derek thinks the infamous MacBook heat was part of Apple's plan to keep MacBook users from starving to death so they can purchase more Apple products later in life. We'll wait for the Derek's recipe book to see if we can truly survive without a hotplate.

By the way, Apple's response to the MacBook heat issue: It's not a laptop. So take it off your lap.
