WFMY-TV (Greensboro, N.C., Aug. 18) -- Engineers at Illinois are working on ways to keep electronics from overheating. “What we need is people to sit down at the table and say, yes, I know you'd like your Fruit Ninja to load quickly, but based on the current thermal limit, we'll project it to be over the next several seconds. We're going to actually limit your processor speed so it doesn't actually generate as much processing power and hence as much heat,” says Illinois engineering professor Andrew Alleyne.
