    Try blowing air into the fan from the bottom of the notebook, and don't use it on your bed or anywhere else that cloth/flesh/whatever will block the air intake.

    If you must surf for ... artistic pictures ... while in bed, buy or make a lap desk so there is a flat, uniform surface for the computer to rest on so that airflow will not be impeded.
