Fixing Amilo A1650, Mobile Sempron overheating

Linking a couple of posts I made on encountering the subject:

CPU overheats during high usage “throttling not supported”

  • switch the 62W TDP Mobile Sempron out for a 25W TDP Mobile Turion

Firefox 3 (+possibly other apps) random crashing on OS X due to font cache corruption

One day Firefox 3.0.8 started randomly crashing on me, and some other folks as well. It is not possible to remember anymore whether there was a system crash / kernel panic / unclean shutdown beforehand. PanicReporter does show one for Mar 10, 2009, which actually sets the timeline for this problem up quite well.

My buddy from 2004-2005 season Corey Sanders has put up a web page titled First Time Overseas Experience. This page is made primarily for American players going to play professional basketball in another country. I was impressed with the presentation, variety and quality of information available, I’d say it’s a helpful page for all professional basketball players working abroad, not just the Americans.
