laptop warming...no warning...............

ok, so this on-line news story was intriguing.......
New medical research is about to hit the technology industry below the belt; a provocative U.S. study has concluded that the last place any male should use a laptop computer is in his lap. Research published yesterday in the journal Human Reproduction has found that laptops, combined with the thighs pressed-together posture needed to balance them, give off enough heat to raise the temperature inside testicles by nearly three degrees celsius.

This increase, researchers warn, could endanger the production of healthy sperm and lead to infertility.

"Some people don't use laptops on their laps, but a lot of young men, or boys, have all these wireless services and they do use them on their laps to play games or do all sorts of things . . . and this is a continuous heat exposure. . . . But in 10 or 20 years, when they try to have a family, they might have problems," said study leader Yefim Sheynkin, a urologist at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.

So where should men put a laptop?

"Use it on a desk," he said. "Anywhere but on the lap."
