Hookay. So I was talking with Jason about buying a new MacBook Air to replace my aging PowerBook 17″. He suggested a new MacBook Pro or even a MacBook. “I love the Air.

So I told him: “Really that hot?” And then we thought that we should ask you: dear reader, how hot is your PC or Mac laptop? Please write in the comments your brand, model and the real temperature (centigrades or Fahrenheit) on the bottom surface, where the laptop touches your body while using it in bed, chair or potty. We want to use your answers to compile a chart to show how dangerous each notebook is for your tender parts.

If you have ever had the privilege of viewing a work by artist Mike Rea, chances are you were instantly captivated by his amazing geek-inspired wood sculptures. The folks at Fecal Face managed to catch up with him and ask a few questions—and the brief peek inside his mind that resulted is interesting to say the least. For those who want to check out his stuff in person, Rea has a solo exhibition coming up at the Contemporary Art Center of Virginia from April 3-June 15, 2008. [Mike Rea and Fecal Face via Make]

Not surprisingly, Amazon is looking to dump a whole mess of HD DVD titles to clear out more space for Blu-ray. Rather than dump the whole lot
