MacBook firmware update available!

It's 4:50 p.m. here in Japan, or just before midnight in Cupertino.

I just received a Software Update alert indicating that "MacBook SMC Firmware Update 1.0" is now available for downloading. Here's the info from Apple:

The SMC Firmware Update adjusts fan behavior in the MacBook. The updater application will be installed in the /Applications/Utilities folder. Please follow the instructions in the updater application to complete the process.

I haven't downloaded it yet, but will be soon.

Bye-bye Moo! (I hope!)

I must be some kind of idiot.

I now see on the Apple website that this update has been available since Aug. 17. I can't believe I missed it earlier!

OK, I'm prepared to be flamed.

Sod that! Check out this news!!

Sorry mate, don't mean to be mean but that's very old news. Came out around the WWDC about three weeks ago.

I totally deserve it!

Just curious, though--was the firmware update mentioned on the front page of Macrumors?

In any case, I'm pleased to report my MacBook is now running 15 degrees cooler than before. I can actually pick it up and carry it into the next room without burning my hands.
