    Design flaws and manufacturing flaws are two very different things. Even if the product was flawlessly designed, the factory build quality will ultimately determine the product's own quality. This is clearly not Apple's fault, in fact, it is very responsible of them to acknowledge the build problems and provide a workaround.

    A technical note posted to Apple’s Web site notes that some MacBook laptops may run too warm because of an issue involved in their manufacture.

    I don't think TemperatureMonitor works with MacIntels. You will still need a kernel extension like SpeedIt to make it recognize the temp probes of the new MacBooks/Pros. CoreDuoTemp has the kernel extension built right in it when you install it.
