MacBooks Surpass Oil As Major Contributor to Global Warming
This post was published 3 years 5 months 6 days ago and its content may not be valid anymore.Ok, this is the funniest spoof article that I found in some time. This is not news, rather it is a VERY funny look at the MacBook’s heat problems. Granted this will give excellent fuel (pardon the pun) to all the Mac haters out there, but hey we won’t be complaining when winter hits. We have a portable space heater :P
Apple was dealt another blow today as scientists at NASA revealed that the heat generated by the MacBook line has now surpassed petroleum emissions as a contributing cause of global warming.
With the introduction of the Macbook non-Pro, sales of the MacBook line as a whole have reached a sufficient level that the collective heat generated by all units has surpassed that of other sources.
While Apple recently tried to deflect concern over the issue – blaming it on plastic strips left over the fan vents – the machines are still undeniably hot.
“The average MacBook puts out 9 billion BTU per minute of usage,” said Dr. Leonard Staley of NASA’s Planetary Science division. “I know that sounds like an awful lot, but we actually checked the numbers a couple of times.
“And all that heat gets trapped in the atmosphere, causing temperatures to rise and ice caps to melt.
Global warming is caused by heat? I thought it was caused by carbon monoxide emmissions into the atmosphere.
Stop wasting Taxpayers MONEY!
uhm, I wonder how many BTU’s they spent working out that value.
or do NASA scientists not have better things to do in their spare time.
grrr
Very funny considering the problem with heating in the macbook line!
@jimmy
it was a joke. don’t get mad, laugh!
Haha, nice
9 billion BTU could cook a steak in like .0001 second. The MacBook is the new George Forman grill!
