Fix your Macbook random shutdown!

Apple has addressed the random shutdown of some Macbooks with a firmware update.
http://www.apple.com/support/downloa...eupdate11.html

I guess there were 2 issues causing this. One, the software issue and another an issue of a thermal sensor wire too close to a heatsink which gives it false information making the computer shut down to protect itself from overheating.

Hopefully this fixes the problem for the majority.

There's at least three topics in the forums with this problem..

Never had the problem, but that didn't stop me from upgrading the firmware.
