I was downloading some stuff for some 5 hours when I noticed that the laptop's CPU temperature was a whopping 80°c. Then I pointed a box fan towards it. No help. Then I switched off the laptop and removed the back plate of the laptop, exposing the innards of the laptop. Then I used 3 erasers to raise the height up and left the box fan AND laptop cooler on.
Yup, you can see the innards of the laptop from this view.
The results?
The temperature dropped a whopping 10°c.
Cant wait for V2.0 of this cooler...

Installing Flash Player w/o Admin Rights
Alright, I am using the school's comp to online, but unfortunately the admin account has been locked. I cannot install anything ( yet ). But after some googling, I managed to find a way to install the flash player for Firefox.
1. Download the xpi package from http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/get/flashplayer/xpi/current/flashplayer-win.xpi
2. Rename the attributes to .zip.
3. Copy the files flashplayer.xpt and NPSWF32.dll to %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Plugins\ where
%APPDATA% is the folder which holds your applications profiles and settings. (You can open this folder simply choosing "Start → Run → Type in %APPDATA% → OK")
4. Run Firefox if you havent. Restart if you used it earlier.
5. Enjoy..
