My Macbook Pro just piped up and started complaining about the temperature. Both cores running at 80%, for I don't know how long. So I go to see who's responsible. Safari. Why? Well, because I don't have a Flashblock for Safari (need to look for that again).

Hidden away in the tabs was one that had a flash applet in the corner of the screen rendering a few characters of the page title scrolling by in a cool looking "flipped corner", reflected at a funky angle so it actually had to rotate and antialias every letter. If that tab wasn't the active tab it apparently went into overdrive or something.

I've seen similar things with DHTML, AJAX, Java, every kind of "active content" there is.

Jesus Christ, people, what's wrong with you?
