Anyone who's opened a few too many tabs in Chrome on an aging Macbook will recognize the fan whirr that usually signals some process is hogging massive amounts of CPU. That's where Curb comes in. While it won't liquid cool your processor, this colorful little wedge will elevate your laptop's backend -- typically the hottest part -- to increase airflow around the CPU and fan. The wedge has three different sized sides, which gives you multiple resting angle options. Plus, there's a notch in the center to run a power cord through. And if you're sick of computing-related hot spots on your lap -- no worries. From the Curb FAQ:

CURB is extremely versatile and can be used almost anywhere -- on your lap, on a desk, on your bed. It's small, lightweight and portable so you'll always have it when you need it.

Curb is currently available for pre-order. At $13, it might be just the breather your lap and processor need -- at least until the Google Chrome helper decides share some of that CPU.
