I'm always hearing about ingenious and inventive ways people manage to use their hot laptops on their laps — whether it be angled on the couch arm, a pillow, or a TV tray, there's always some sort of protective barrier involved. I myself use a variety of things, including a basic breakfast-in-bed tray (when I'm in bed) and my Dave laptop stand when I'm cross-legged on the couch. If you're still looking for a new stand for either your desk, bed, couch, or coffee table, here are some chic designs that may do the trick!

Couldn't get much worse, but it appears that a blogger got his hands on Revenge of the Sith when it came out on DVD a few years ago.

At first glance, one may assume that Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt have nothing better to do during lunch outings then play with their matching DS Lites, considering they do like to play twinsies every now and then. The truth of the matter, which is even more farfetched than my previous assumption, is that they were meeting with a gaming coach from the all-female gaming team Fragdolls and getting a private lesson on the DS.
