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?
