"Heat Seeking MacBook Pro" or "Heat Sinking MacBook Pro"

[nguyenht]

I posted the suggestion onto the Apple Discussion Forum that the topic be labeled one of the above. The post was taken down by Apple today. Their email to me here.

 

The original post by me on the Apple Discussion Forum was at the following link:

I kept it on my blog, but here is the text:

 

================

"Heat Seeking MacBook Pro" or "Heat Sinking MacBook Pro"

 

As many of us have not had much response or resolution from Apple concerning this thermal issue (myself included), I have no choice but to resort to witticism and the mass media. We, the users, are not really clear on what the issues are, but the result is that our MacBook Pros are dang hot - up to 94 degrees C in some reports. Many have said the thermal paste, others say its the software update, others say its the sensors...

 

So for the benefit of everyone (and the mass media at large), I would propose to label it either "Heat Seeking MacBook Pro" or "Heat Sinking MacBook Pro". I have Googled both phrases and have come up with no results, so AFAIK, this is original work. :-)

 

"Heat Sinking MacBook Pro" - This is probably a more accurate description of what is happening. The MBP is storing heat instead of dissipating it.

 

"Heat Seeking MacBook Pro" - This is not as accurate a description, but certainly sexier.

 

So I would like to put this up to the forum for feedback and debate. Which is better? Any other suggestions?

 

In the words of the immortal Torch of the Fantastic Four and in the spirit of this issue, "FLAME ON!"
