After spending the night with a loved one in a cold hospital emergency patient room, I wish to offer this: We were cold and had limited clothing to warm us. So I whipped out my laptop and started running as many programs as I could to make the thing overheat. (Macs get hot!) Placed it on my loved one's
tummy in the hospital bed and she was nicely warmed. The invention would be a software command that orders the laptop to overheat on demand.

Just download something like SETI@home, and it will
keep the thing working full speed. |

An option to just run the fan would be nice when its hot. |

My old HP was big and warm. When my dorm's heat didn't work in the dead of North Dakota winter it was the warmest thing in my room. I would like a way to select a desired temperature, say 65 degrees, that the laptop would cut out at. [+] |

I'm afraid that could upset my loved one's tummy. Of course, your loved one has no tummy, being a machine and all... |

[links] //CPU Burn// That works for PCs, probably not for Macs, where St. Jobs takes care of all our needs through 'Apps.' For example, 'Pocket Heat', nice link by [Wrongfellow]. Unfortunate, St. Jobs pulled that App from the AppStore. |

Hey, we haven't actually gotten canonization through yet. The Blessed Jobs will have to do for now. |
