    The cooling fan on my Mac is often the thing that alerts me to problems with Chrome processes. This doesn't seem optimal.

        @paulg I once used my 1st-gen MacBook Pro as a heater when I was stranded outside in 30 degrees for 5 hrs. 50+ open tabs & a movie = toasty!

        @paulg @danielghilea It’s one of the things that worried me about the new MacBook - how would you know Chrome was playing up with no fan? :)

        @paulg If playing flash video it's a sure thing; HTML5 is less CPU intensive/abusive. At least there's explanation in this cases.

        @paulg Yep. A thread in the process that went havoc; happens with iTunes, Safari, FireFox too, often when process is idle.
