CPU going crazy?

hi guys!


i've noticed in past weeks cpu activity going crazy!

example, i'm looking @ news clip cnn.com , macbook 5,1 cpu (core 2 duo 2.0ghz) doing 40-50% manage it.

yesterday used vlc streamer first time , when streaming movie iphone cpu doing 140-160% manage vlc streamer.

don't understand how needs use such amounts of processing power handle such simple tasks.

simple clip watching, doing 40-50%, fans jump max.

macbook going die soon?

thanks.

 

on cnn watching flash embedded video?

adobe flash player cpu intensive, more power needed feed cpu, results in higher temperatures , higher fan speed(s) on mobile computers. more power used due flash, battery life of mobile computers shortened bit.
check, if adobe flash player responsible less battery time or heat, go applications / utilities / activity monitor , select show processes , sort cpu.

there variety of flash blockers 4 major browsers available.
flash blocker says, blocks flash content, via click on marked flash object, flash object can activated , used.

• safari: clicktoflash, there extension , plug-in; ctf allows download youtube , other kinds of mpeg-4 encoded video too.
• opera: has built-in flash blocker
• firefox: flashblock add-on block flash
• chrome: flashblock extension block flash

make sure have latest adobe flash player version running, can here.​

, vlc streamer, whatever purpose use it, might have live transcode during playback?
