How to cooldown your MacBook
Macs are cool, but I guess the more MacBooks people buy, the less children we will have. Not only because we’re spending to much time in front of our 13″, but because “the area”, exactly the private one, gets toasted.
“The body needs to maintain a proper testicular temperature for normal sperm production and development,” Sheynkin says. “Portable computers in a laptop position produce scrotal hyperthermia by both the direct heating effect of the computer and the sitting position necessary to balance the computer.” Scrotal hyperthermia leads to decreased fertility, known as clinical subfertility, in men.
Quote from PC World (12-09-2004): Researcher Warns Male Laptop Users of Infertility Risk.
MacBooks are way to hot, to hot to have them on your lap (at least when your outside of north-russia, or greenland).
I suggest to checkout some tools in order to cool down your machine - good for your macbook and your fertility:
- smcFanControl (free): tweak minimal fan speed (Download)
- CoolBook: manually set frequency and voltage (Download)
- DyCPU (free): dynamically switch on or off your second CPU core (Download)
- CoreDuoTemp (free): monitor CPU-Frequency and temperature (Download)
Note: Some applications need the XTools installed! XTools can be found on your installer-cds/dvds.
Frischluft für die Hoden
Deutschsprechende Besucher bitte auch hier lesen: Unfruchtbar durch Laptop
Bei den 29 Versuchspersonen […] erhöhte sich die Temperatur der Hoden links um 2,6 Grad Celsius und rechts um 2,8 Grad Celsius.
[…]
Dabei werden, um dem Laptop Halt zu geben, die Hoden zwischen die Beine gequetscht. Diese Art der Reibung erhöht natürlich wiederum die Hodentemperatur.
Bitte welche Temperatur? Hodentemperatur? Betroffene Männer wenden sich bitte an die Hobbythek - wohin sonst?

Wo wir gerade beim Thema sind, zum Ende noch ein wenig Wissenschaft: WHO-Richtlinien für ein gesundes Spermiogramm.
