I was having a heat issue with my laptop, so I went to find something that could monitor and control the temperature and fan speed to keep things from melting down.  I discovered a great little utility that fit the need perfectly.  It shows up in my control panel err… System Preferences in mac speak and keeps things cooler if a little noisier.  I like the fact that the fan has an infinitely variable speed compared to my old laptop which had 2 speeds on its cooling fan which turns on and off every few minute and is rather annoying.  Well, I’ve rambled on enough about such an uninteresting geeky topic.  Here’s a screenshot to finish off.
