This just begs to be shared: http://failblog.org/2010/10/03/epic-fail-photos-review-fail/ (It's a consumer review of a powerful CPU: "I bought this CPU as an upgrade for my video editing suite and after a week of use, my computer just shut off and I started smelling burnt silicone. I inspected my computer and found that half the socket was molten. I do NOT recommend this CPU because of its obviously poor design. I already wrote a letter to Intel about this. Guess I should have used a CPU fan?") Authentic or not, there's something to be learned from it. Take care, Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
