Is there any 3rd party alarm I can use? The built in one would never wake me up.

Probably not, but you could use the built in one at FULL volume and that might help. My son had problems with alarms until he hooked his iPod up to a set of external speakers with…

Linux?

The only thing I could suggest is an external speaker. If you are using it to wake up in the morning they have an iPod pillow with a speaker in it (the whole iPod goes right inside…

Its getting ridiclously hot. Touching it after using it for 25, 30 mins is causing burns. The temps go to 90C at full load but even below that the bottom gets too hot to touch. Can…

Your question about underclocking reminds me, is there anything like Notebook Hardware Control for OSX/x86?

So does anybody know if an upgrade down the wire from Apple can fix this??? Would the fix just be the fans coming on sooner????

Get a replacement - there is no way it should be physically burning you. If you can infact proove the laptop burnt you, then I seriously thing you have a good case to sue Apple...

Yikes! I upgraded my Mini to a 2ghz and it never gets above 84C Definately waiting for Apple to fix the MacBooks before I buy one!

Burnt your hand twice? "Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me."

Mine almost never gets over 65.

My wife's new MacBook (2.0GHz/1GB) gets pretty hot, but never actually too hot to touch. I wouldn't want it in my lap for a long period, but we knew that before we got it. If yours…

well, you just said that ambient temperature was 40c? that's so hot that it's not surprising that your laptop is very hot. air cooling systems run hotter if the air temp is hotter…
