XP won’t melt your Mac … but Photoshop will
By Marc Perton
I finally found a good use for Photoshop’s Liquify filter—I used this image to illustrate a post I wrote for Engadget on a rumor that Windows XP could cause the fans in Intel-based Macs to stop running, potentially turning the hardware into an oozing mass of melted plastic and metal. The good news is that the rumors turned out to be unfounded, and the fans do indeed keep running. Of course that means I’ll probably never get to use Liquify again—though I won’t be surprised if some other product turns out to overheat enough to justify it.
