[QUOTE="technologist, post: 1006544, member: 4134"] InsomniaX defeats a built-in safety feature. Apple laptops go to sleep when closed to prevent you from forgetting and packing up a running laptop. A laptop in a bag or case can't cool itself, since there is not enough air for the fans to operate. The fans work fine when a laptop is on a desk with an external display and mouse connected, which is why this is supported. It only takes one "oops" to damage your laptop. [/QUOTE]
