My MacBook pizza heater

[iSamurai]

Here's a macbook warming up pizza :)

I was converting a movie for my iphone with windows in mac, so you can guess it's using quite a bit of RAM and CPU, it's quite hot and the fan is blowing, so i didn't put this energy to waste - it actually did warm up the pizza.

lolz :)

enough to eat it? or just feels warm?

[phiberglass]

hhaha I wonder if you put it in foil or a napkin or something over it and laid the macbook on it, how warm it would get. I know sometimes I can't even put it on my legs or It'll burn me. haha

Wow...

That reminds me vaguely of how you're supposed to make your kids bake cookies in the car in the summer to show them how hot it gets and to stay out of the car so they don't bake.

[iDAG]

LOL. :D I would never do that with my macBook. :cool: I would be scared it would fall on the pizza and mess up the computer. :eek:

This is my favorite thread for the day. Although I can handle my pizza cold, it's sometimes even nicer that way the day after. :)

Cold pizza is almost the best. Especially after a good nights drinking. Cold curry is number one though!

My cousin made cookies in his car one day. They came out kinda gooey. :D

[PowerFullMac]

And apparently this is why (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/692122.stm)

Blimey, that article is almost 8 years ago to the day, and I remembered it :eek: Mental note: must do more with my life.

My opinion is scientifically proven?
AWESOME!!!

warm, not hot. 20 minutes did the trick (as it took just over 20 minutes to convert the movie).

I could concentrate/gather the energy a lot more by directing them with aluminium foil and also some beneath the pizza as well.

That's funny, I only like my pizza hot when it is fresh. Reheated pizza is not that great at all. I do have to say that sometimes cold pizza can be a little dry.

Haha!! This is amazing. Finally, the true reason why computers get so hot. ;)

Works better if you put it in clamshell mode upsideown and put a good cpu load on.

Type "yes" in to Terminal, that heats it up after not too long.

Thats what I was thinking.

Who heats from the top? No one. That's who.

Heat rises.

afaik there's more heat beneath the laptop, ...snip argument...

anyway - a laptop is not made exclusively to heat pizzas... :p

[queshy]

You are not the first (http://www.tuaw.com/2006/07/13/cook-breakfast-with-your-macbook/) to try this. Funny, though!

[BlakTornado]

lol awesome.

If it were me, I would have put some tin foil in between or something, though! Wouldn't want pizza all over my laptop lol xD Would make greasy marks appear on my pants the next time I use it, haha.

[iMpathetic]

When you type "yes" in Terminal, how do you, uh, TURN IT OFF???:o

(I can't get it off and my legs feel like pizza.)

[taylorwilsdon]

Control+C (not command)

What actually happens? lol

[iMpathetic]

Try it yourself. ;)

No, it actually spits out a continuous stream of "y"s. It's really fun, actually.

I made an Applescript to run it on startup when my sister logs on, but I can't find it anywhere... Darn. :mad:

....Exactly. That's why you turn it upside down and put the pizza on top of it. Ya got your own Apple iStove.

You can also just use command+Q and click close and it quits terminal along with the process running within it.

You bake the COOKIES in the car?

No wonder social services is after me...

Now, that could be a bit embarrassing to explain....

Anyway, I don't eat pizza that often, do you think a MacBook could warm a bagel? How about a panini? Should I put the panini between the keyboard and screen and close it? I would get nice little square key shaped cook lines that way!

Or better still waffles....the keys would make the perfect waffle marks...
