45. Re: High CPU temp on new SR MBPsuncleinabucket Jun 21, 2007 10:23 AM in response to bcbarnesI just got done reading the engadget article linking hear and was pretty upset when i saw the picture. I am upset for a different reason than you MBP owners are. I have about 6 years of experience working on the sickest computers this planet has to offer. On-site and workbench support at a college.
Take almost any modern notebook apart and you will most likely see one of two things. A thick pre-made and cut pad of thermal compound (in most cases terribly outperformed by the even the sloppiest grease) or you will see EXACTLY what the user above did. Ideally it should not look like this.(though it is a world of improvement past what the MPB core duo's looked like). I would have liked to see it neater but too much is better than too little. That PCB around the chip is designed to withstand quite a bit of heat. The heat you feel coming the laptop is GOOD (it's the passive portion of heat dissipation). the bulk of heat comes from the vents the materials diffuse the rest as best they can.
From looking at those pictures I would say there are larger contributors to heating issues than your grease.
First and foremost, You should never run ANY computer on a soft insulative surface... EVER! that includes pants, skin, blankets, carpet.
After that, make certain you have airflow around the entire machine. I would suggest a cheap stand that does not obscure the vents.
After that, install this:
If you think it's still too hot. Take it to the apple store. Tell them it's too hot then compare it to a display model under load. Do not attempt a re-grease unless you know exactly what your doing and want to void your warranty or you feel like lying ("nope haven't opened it give me another")

No doubt some other vendors have similar thermal paste. I suppose, that with the 1" form factor of the MBP (combined with high performance components), there is just less room for error. Any small problem with the cooling (say, in applying the paste not quite as well as the paste manufacturer would recommend) is magnified.
After that, install this:
I wonder, shouldn't that already be installed in the new SR MBPs, since it was released before they shipped?
I hope you do not have to take apart too many Apples in your job
47. Re: High CPU temp on new SR MBPsDon_McCracken Jun 21, 2007 4:03 PM in response to bcbarnesAfter reading the whole thread, I didn't see a single comment about the potential noise these fans are generating spinning at those high rpms. My first 15" 1.0Ghz Powerbook G4 was very noisy. The fans came on all the time which was very annoying. My current 17" 1.5GHz Powerbook G4 is very quiet and the best laptop I've owned. And it doesn't run very hot.
Now I'm in the market for a new 17" 2.4GHz Santa Rosa MBP but are worried it will be too noisy if those fans need to run all the time to cool down that hot CPU. What's your experience regarding this? Are the new MBPs hot but quiet or just hot and noisy?

49. Re: High CPU temp on new SR MBPsdjfelixm Jun 22, 2007 1:45 AM in response to bcbarnesHere is what I noticed. I have two machines. A 2.33Ghz MacBook Pro and a 2.4Ghz. I compared the two machines side by side to see what is going on with this heat that everyone is talking about, and this is what I found out.
Apple in an effort to give more battery life to their latest models, they opted to set the SMC firmware to kick in the fans at a higher temp then the previous model. On the 2.33Ghz at 60 degrees the fans move at 2600 rpm, on the 2.4Ghz the fans move and stay at 2000 all the way up to 70 degrees then at 80 they kick in at 4500 to 5000, which still keeps the machine nice and quiet, it never goes above 80 degrees. This makes the machine a bit more hot but it lasts longer on battery and it is much quieter then the previous model.
I don't think that there is an issue here since the 2.33Ghz sounds like it's about to take off at 75 degrees with it's fans maxed out at 6000 rpm. So rather then take your machines apart just realize that this was done intentionally to maximize battery life and make for a quieter but hotter machine.
Just my thoughts
50. Re: High CPU temp on new SR MBPsDon_McCracken Jun 25, 2007 11:19 AM in response to djfelixmThanks for your reply Felix,
I am not at all concerned with heat as I don't work with my laptop on my lap. I am however, extremely concerned with noise as I record audio in a quiet environment.
From your post I assume that I can safely buy a new 2.4GHz 17" MBP, and that it will be quiet and not sound like it's taking off? That would be great!
51. Re: High CPU temp on new SR MBPsjshum Jun 28, 2007 6:17 PM in response to bcbarnesI am having extremely high cpu temperatures as well. I've actually encountered many instances where under heavy load my computer will freeze up until the temperature cools down or crashes all together. This usually occurs when the 3D processor is being used, for instance when I'm playing World of Warcraft.
I've never had these issues with my Powerbook G4 1.25GHz, but then again I never ran them at these max settings.
Does anyone know if this has to do with the CPU overheating or maybe the graphics card is getting too hot?
What do you guys think?
Thanks for the help
52. Re: High CPU temp on new SR MBPsbrian wah Jun 28, 2007 6:27 PM in response to bcbarnesSo are you guys saying that when my CPU A (reading by Islayer) reaches a temp of 200 F or 93.33 C and still climbs while using Handbrake that it's still ok? Once it reached 200 I freaked and closed it out.
The fans are running but quiet.
Using new Macbook pro SR 2.2ghz
53. Re: High CPU temp on new SR MBPsbrian wah Jun 28, 2007 6:59 PM in response to bcbarnesNever mind...
ran it past 198 F and the fans kicked up to 5,000 and then cooled off the CPU to a steady 170F. Even at that speed the fans are not as annoying as my old ibook. This thing is awesome!!
Installed the latest 1.0 update for macbook pros.

Any idea?

Q&A: NJ Health System CEO's Post-Sandy Appraisal
HLM: Who was involved in the evacuation?
Garrett: "We coordinated this with our EMS community and the National Guard as part of the state response. There was good coordination in advance of the evacuation. But even with good coordination when you are evacuating so many patients it is still a very difficult process. But I was proud of our team and the way they responded."
HLM: Is Hackensack University Medical Center in a safe area?
Garrett: "We are on pretty high ground on the top of the hill. In Hackensack there are parts that flood, so our biggest issue is getting around the streets when we need to respond to a particular emergency or situation. One reason why we don't have complete power back is that one of our power lines runs through a substation that is currently under water."
HLM: Have you suspended non-emergency operations?
Garrett: "No. We are moving forward with a full schedule. In fact it is very busy today because there were so many cancellations on Monday and Tuesday. We are fully functional and operational. Most of our operating rooms are on regular power and some of the ambulatory operating rooms are on emergency power but we are able to proceed with a full schedule."

When Facebook shows you an ad for the pasta that you had for dinner that night, you might feel a little squirmy, find it creepy even. But what exactly is the worry of companies having access to more personal data? University of Washington law professor, and co-founder of UW's Tech Policy Lab, Ryan Calo, has been trying to answer that question.

Brain surgery is now done by lasers. But doctors must still open up the skull in an incredibly difficult procedure. Scientists are developing a transparent skull to make it easier. The transparent skull will serve as a window into the brain allowing immediate access to check the progress of cancer without repeated surgeries. It could take a decade before the see-through skull is perfected. Ross Reynolds talks with Masa Rao, assistant professor in mechanical engineering at the University of California Riverside who is working on the skull.
Originally, when two people wanted to engage in sexual relations, they had to first meet and then have a requisite date or two before finally getting down to business. A new wave of mobile apps wants to do away with all that hoopla. The apps aim to bring two — or more than two if that's your fancy — people together just by hitting a button. No strings attached, no wooing necessary. Ross Reynolds talks with Kevin Roose about this market and what it means for safe sex.

Last week, Apple introduced two new iPhones with new features, including fingerprint recognition on one model, and extra password protections. But the new technology is up against a sophisticated black market that has had years to grow and adapt to meet the world's desire for smartphones.
To call smartphone-related crime an epidemic is not an exaggeration. By one estimate, more than 4,000 phones are stolen every day in the United States.
The University of Washington's Center for Game Science has an outrageous claim: By playing a computer game called DragonBox Adaptive for 90 minutes, 92 percent of first graders can master algebraic linear equations.
But that's not just an untested claim — it's the result of tests done in Washington state's public schools. Amazingly, that statistic also held for the few kindergarten classes that have tested the game. Most school districts don't introduce this material until middle school. Today, Ross Reynolds speaks with the Center for Game Science's director, Zoran Popović.

It is moronic to compare opposition to gay marriage with opposition to interracial marriage
As the debate about gay marriage heats up, the pro lobby is playing its trump card: it is arguing that opposing gay marriage today is as batty and backward as opposing interracial marriage was in the past. Activists clearly think this is an argument-winner because they're repeating it ad nauseum. One writer says "same-sex marriage opponents don't realise how closely their rhetoric mirrors that of the anti-miscegenation activist". In California, gay-rights activists continually cite the Supreme Court's stinging attack in 1967 on bans on interracial marriages, and call on the court to do "the right thing" once again by lifting the ban on gay marriage. An image doing the rounds on Twitter and Facebook shows modern-day campaigners against gay marriage alongside racists campaigning against interracial marriage in 1950s America, as if they were one and the same.
Yet far from being an argument-winner, this comparison between restrictions on interracial marriage and restrictions on gay marriage is utterly moronic; it is historically illiterate and politically opportunistic. Gay-marriage supporters might like to fantasise that they are bravely struggling against an injustice as terrible as America's old bans on interracial marriage or European states' one-time bans on Jewish-Gentile marriages, but there is one very important difference between those who campaigned against bans on interracial marriage and those who campaign against restrictions on gay marriage: the anti-racist activists of old were calling for democratic equity within an already-existing institution, whereas today's pro-gay marriage activists are calling for the creation of an entirely new institution.
The reason bans on interracial marriage were an abomination, something worth campaigning tooth-and-catapult against, is because they denied people equity within an important social institution – the state-recognised and approved bond between a man and a woman, usually, though not always, for the purposes of procreation. This institution has profound historical, social and cultural roots, and in denying equal access to it to certain men and women, simply on the basis of their skin colour or their religious beliefs, old societies were behaving in an extremely illiberal and undemocratic fashion. So the Supreme Court was quite right when it argued in 1967 that bans on interracial marriage were a violation of individuals' "vital personal rights, [which are] essential to the orderly pursuit of happiness by free men". If society says it is good for men and women to marry, yet then denies certain men and women the right to marry, it is committing an act of prejudicial repression.
Gay marriage is very different, because such an institution, the state-approved union of two men, has never existed before. Where black and white lovers or Jewish/Gentile sweethearts once demanded, rightly and bravely, equity within an existing social institution, gay-rights activists today are actually demanding the creation of a brand new, historically unprecedented institution – one in which two men can, in the eyes of the state and society, form a marital union. There is no use gay-rights activists pretending they are being discriminated against in the same way that blacks or Jews were in the past, because they simply are not; indeed, it is a bit off to compare the modern gay desire to fashion a completely new institution with the once brutal exclusion of certain groups of people from an existing and very longstanding institution simply because they fell in love with people of a different pigmentation or religious persuasion.
Perhaps gay marriage should be introduced: who knows? I'm undecided (though not for religious reasons – I'm an atheist), as are many religious people and ordinary members of the public. Yet clearly there are many homosexuals who want such an institution to be created, and they could be right; certainly society ought to have some system through which gay couples can publicly commit to one another. But let's at least be honest about what is happening here: people are campaigning for the setting up of a special and new institution. If you want to do that, then go for it, and try to win people over to your belief that this new institution is necessary and good. But please stop flattering your activism by comparing yourselves to those brave souls who took a stand against the stark denial of equity and democratic rights brought about by bans on interracial marriage in the past.

Here's a story worth reading.
'Make a splash—read!' was the theme of the Lester Public Library's summer reading program this year, encouraging children, teens and adults alike to take time to read over summer vacation. The library went all out, from decorating the library to look like a coral reef and island oasis, to hosting water games outside and bringing in experts to show off water animals and science demonstrations.
The library's Flickr™ page abounds with photos of these decorations along with images of water-themed events and guests throughout the season and includes memories captured of what is clearly a community that enjoys its library. Located in Two Rivers, Wisc., the town of 12,000 obviously likes to read.
More than 1,200 people participated in the program this year, reading books and writing reviews of what's been read. The first review earns each reader a travel mug with the library's logo, made possible from a donation by 4imprint's one by one® Program. Each review thereafter enters readers into a prize drawing. At the close of the ten-week program, a grand prize drawing is offered and another prize is given to the reader with the most reviews.
"The summer reading program offers incentive to people in many ways," explained Chris Hamburg, Lester Library's adult services coordinator. "People read more because of the program—just to get the travel mug or other prizes and to experience the pride of sharing their reviews with others."
Hamburg and other library staff even developed displays throughout the library to showcase the reviews and encourage others to join in on the fun. Hamburg said that the response to the entire program—and the travel mugs—has been extremely positive.
"I really enjoy it when people come in and tell me that they've discovered a new author or read a book that was in one of the displays. I guess, I just really love it when anyone gets excited about reading," shared Hamburg.

'Tis the season for travel and warm beverages.
And, that makes this a good time of year to talk about travel mugs. In this post, I want to show you travel mugs in a few new styles that are designed to attract more attention to your logo.
High Contrast Colors, New Logo Area
If you're looking for a more modern travel mug design, look at one of the new options with high-contrast style. The Nerva Travel Mug (pictured above) attracts attention because the logo isn't in the usual imprint spot. Bright colors contrast against the black imprint area and lid for a very now look.
Straight Sides
These mugs are sleek. Straight sides give an updated, minimalist look. Mugs in this style are available in both acrylic and stainless. The Biodegradable Venti Tumbler (pictured above) is acrylic.
The Ellipse Tumbler (pictured below) is made from stainless steel.
The Paper-look-alike
For the latest mug style, consider a paper-look-alike mug. The Terra Coffee Cup is actually ceramic with a rubber lid.
These are fun to carry around because people often do a double-take, when they realize this isn't a throwaway cup. These will make fun holiday gifts for those looking to make a statement.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
No sympathy for Selinger's budget blues
Biz leaders 'very concerned'
The Selinger government's decision to postpone balancing its books by another two years sent shivers through the business community Tuesday and sparked concerns of new tax hikes for Manitobans.
In a speech to nearly 1,000 people at a Winnipeg Chamber of Commerce luncheon, Premier Greg Selinger made only a fleeting reference to an admission to the Free Press that the province would be unable to avoid deficit budgets until 2016-17. (It had been saying it would escape red ink by 2014-15.)
But that didn't stop business leaders and the Conservative Opposition from weighing in on the implications of the government's new fiscal timetable.
Tory Leader Brian Pallister said the NDP government's problem is it can't control spending. It can't keep blaming last year's Assiniboine River flood for its fiscal woes, he said.
"It was supposed to be the flood of the century, not the excuse of the century," he told a news conference.
Pallister said last spring the government responded to its budget problems by handing Manitobans their highest tax increase in a quarter of a century. In the absence of assurances otherwise, he suggested next year's provincial budget could see more hikes.
"We believe that (the government's) high spending problem is a high tax problem for citizens of our province," he said.
At the Winnipeg Convention Centre, where the premier delivered his state-of-the-province address Tuesday, business leaders wondered what the shifting timeline for balancing the province's books meant for them.
Chamber president Dave Angus said he is "very concerned" about a delay in balancing the province's books. He said as deficits persist, so does pressure for tax hikes.
But he said that's the last thing Manitoba businesses need as they and individual Manitobans are already taxed at a higher rate than their counterparts in Saskatchewan and Alberta, creating a competitive imbalance.
"We have concerns about the continuation of a fiscal framework here in Manitoba that we believe is not where we need to be," said Angus. He added the province needs to make long-term commitments on tax relief to boost business confidence.
Selinger told the audience Manitoba is not alone in having to reset its sights for balancing the government's books. He noted most provinces and the federal government are in the same situation. The problem is a global economy that's been in the doldrums for an inordinate length of time, he said.
Jim Carr, president and CEO of the Business Council of Manitoba, said that after more than three terms in office, the NDP should know the internal workings of government well enough to be able to ferret out more cost savings.
"I understand that Manitoba is not an island within the world of economic turmoil but the name of the game is focus and discipline," he said.
Finance Minister Stan Struthers said Tuesday the province will be releasing its most up-to-date numbers on its finances shortly before Christmas.
In the meantime, he's meeting with his provincial counterparts in Toronto on Friday and federal Finance Minister Jim Flaherty in Ottawa on Sunday to discuss the economy.
Struthers added the province believes it's still owed roughly $350 million from Ottawa as part of federal cost-sharing programs in fighting the 2011 flood. That money should flow to the province, depending on how negotiations progress, over the next year or so.
"We're going to continue to get on Ottawa's case to make sure they come through with the rest," he said.
Colin Craig, prairie director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, said after Selinger's speech the NDP have only themselves to blame by not containing spending when times were good and government finances were in surplus.
Craig cited "luxury projects" like a new park at the Red River Floodway when Birds Hill Provincial Park is so close and the "huge bureaucracy" that is the provincial public service.
He said the province could save $1 billion a year by trimming its workforce.
"In the past five years they've grown it by 1,200 and now they say they're going to cut it by 600 and they're expecting applause," Craig said, adding projected increases in health-care spending due to an older population will put further pressure on the NDP to spend money it doesn't have.
"We've done nothing to save for that," he said.

Province to assist
in business transfers
THE Manitoba government will help retiring entrepreneurs transfer their businesses to the next generation by creating an agency devoted to the cause.
The Manitoba Business Succession Resource Centre will assist workers in small- and medium-size businesses to take over the operation when an owner retires, Premier Greg Selinger said Tuesday. The province will also offer a tax credit to assist with ownership transfers.
Selinger said it's estimated 40 per cent of owners of small- and medium-size businesses plan to retire in the next five years.
Meanwhile, the premier repeated a promise -- first made in November's throne speech -- to grow the provincial labour force by 75,000 people over the next eight years.
Selinger has asked his Economic Advisory Council, chaired by Free Press co-owner Bob Silver and labour rep Robert Ziegler, to convene a skills summit to map out a strategy for achieving the ambitious job-creation goal.
The summit will address education and training needs and how to provide job opportunities for the Métis and First Nation communities. It will also discuss how to ensure the province's successful immigration program continues to grow.
