I was in programming and realized that my computer was like 180 degrees and it was on for less than 15 minutes.  I checked stuff and saw that my battery life was low.

I shut my computer down until it cooled down and booted it back up.  Same thing: I then checked activity monitor and saw that iScrobbler was using a crazy amount of my cpu.  I quit it and my temperature dropped within minutes and my battery life more than doubled.

damn last.fm trying to melt my computer.

iScrobbler says the official client is bloatware but i dunno how substantiated that claim is.

i just don't like the extra icon stretching my dock.

My G5 ran at 190 degrees regularly.

It doesn't do that for me.

Maybe you should quit it and restart it next time it does that. Teach it to behave.

How can I find out how hot my lap top is? It feels pretty warm to the touch.
