That's not weird at all. But still the man should had been so focused on the writings so he couldn't feel the heat at time to prevent the burn.
anyway, why you would be writing for so long with the laptop on your lap? That's not ergonomycally healthy neither.

Hmmmm (deep in thought)
Woman spills hot McDonalds coffee in lap --> second degree burns to genitals --> $millions$
Man types with hot laptop --> second degree burn to genitals --> who built that laptop????
Ahhhh, lawsuits.......
<edit> so that everyone knows, I was not comparing stupidity, just commenting on genital burns and their place in law and order <edit>

I'm not too surprised. Back in the day, I used to burn my legs with a laptop and Q2. I was focused, and didn't notice until it was too late. Now, imagine a scientist (or one of your professors, better yet) lost in the rapture of academia, typing away. How surprised are you really?

wow, I mean what was he doing with his laptop.
God sakes.
My laptop gets hot, but not hot enough to burn through clothing.
Unless he wasn't wearing any......

I tried to use my laptop in bed, in a cold room (friendly rural Italy), with pajamas and several layers of "linens'n'things" between my belly and the thing. Still had to take regular breaks for the heat. And I had SpeedStep :)

Actually the lawsuit might not be a bad idea. If the laptop's heatsink/fan stopped working and caused bodily harm, that's akin to brakes not working on a car or faulty plumbing in a gas furnace.

What? How could there be? Even if the coffee was 10,000 F, it's still the stupid woman's fault for putting it between her legs.

Seth, don't be rediculous. The brakes in a car are there for safety reasons. The fan/heatsink in a laptop are not. They are only there to keep the innards of the computer cool enough to operate.

So by that reasoning the brakes are not necessary for the operation of a car?

I am reminded that hot things are easy to pick up and deal with for a few milliseconds. But once you let go, then you know you've been burned.
It's like picking up a hot pan without a oven mitt
you're going to get burned, but you won't feel it in the first few seconds because you're nerves were just fried

I suppose if you want to get technical about it, yes, brakes aren't necessary for the operation of a car. Drivers in Cairo don't seem be aware of their existence (it's a long story, but I went there once for a few days and riding in a taxi was somewhat horrifying)
Anyway, there's a difference. The intent of brakes is to increase the likelyhood that you'll be able to stop your vehicle safely. The intent of a fan and heat sink is to increase the likelyhood that your computer will be able to function properly for long periods of time.

Still, by your reasoning, you're saying that a car may be operated without any brakes whatsoever. This means that slowing down would be achieved only through downshifting (which, at high speeds, can destroy the clutch and render the car inoperable) and utilizing a car's own weight against its momentum (which is impossible to "slow faster" without brakes once in lowest gear). That would also mean that on an incline up to a stoplight (such as on a highway overpass), the operator is required to constantly rev his engine in first gear to fight against gravity, otherwise the car will roll backwards. And if this fails, the engine will stall and roll backwards anyway, and there's no way you're going to be able to get your car into first without stopping first.
