FlashBlock, too. Flash on Linux is a real problem for laptops. Just streaming NPR for a few minutes causes the CPU temperature to go from its normal idling 43 degrees Celsius to 60 degrees. Just streaming NPR (and nothing else). As a result, I have to "echo level 7 > /proc/acpi/ibm/fan" which helps (temp drops to 55). I'm not even complaining about battery life -- I'm complaining about heat!
