@bcjeffw hiding for regular intervals the browser tab where Flash plays keeps temp down though. Appreciated nonetheless.

@bcjeffw Thank you, I just did that, don’t see any noticeable difference, either in CPU usage (125% on iMac 2.16GHz) or GPU temp.

Yep, Al Jazeera is sliding down the sensationalist slope that CNN took in 1991 during the Persian Gulf War. Anchor wants to see action!

@Lahouraki Lol!

And how am I supposed to know the difference between the Embassy and the Consular Services? I just want to renew a passport.

12:38 31 Jan 2011 via Echofon #

The Dutch consular services publish opening hours for physical visits only. Like, everyone lives in Athens, right?

The French Ministry spokesman Bernard Valero is very good at repeatedly saying nothing. #egypt

I can raise and lower the temp of my GPU at will by over 10°C, simply by showing or hiding the browser tab where Flash runs. Cool! or Hot!

@itsomp Okay, gonna check it out. Thanks! :-)

@itsomp I would still going to have to use Flash, wouldn’t I? So what difference would it make?

@itsomp Good lord, NO! Each time I start Safari I watch the spinning beach ball for minutes and then memory usage going thru the roof!

in reply to itsomp 14:38 30 Jan 2011 via Echofon #

@itsomp I’m running Chrome on an iMac, the browser has Flash built-in

I.m.h.o the Al Jazeera anchor currently doing interviews with people on the ground in Cairo is a tad too sensationalist…

14:25 30 Jan 2011 via Echofon #

I hope my GPU can stand the heat generated by Adobe Flash merciless hammering it, watching the Al Jazeera web live stream (65°C now)

14:23 30 Jan 2011 via Echofon #

Al Jazeera seems to have their CNN 1991 Persian-Gulf-War moment.

14:20 30 Jan 2011 via Echofon #

I can testify to that! RT @TypicalGreek: When visiting a Greek’s home you are treated like royalty! #typicalgreek

@Kevin_Jim Yeah, impressive! Saw that a couple of days ago, was amazed how they kept pushing the limits!

Egypt government shuts down Al Jazeera, but they forgot to tell the guys in the studio in Cairo. (via @evanchill)

@keithfrankish @stazybohorn Sorry for contradicting both of you, but this is Belgian weather. Summer weather that is. Definitely!

My GPU diode and heatsink are ready to fry some eggs. Would like like them scrambled or sunny side up? twitpic.com/3uhyf1
