As a Macbook Pro owner myself, I'm somewhat reluctant to admit that the first generation of Macbooks suffer from an annoying and constant whine and an unaccpetable amount of heat output. Therefore, I will be one of the many calling Apple Support on May 20. May 20th, it's been reported, is "the day the whining ends." OSX86Project has more.

The total heat output of the computer will not change one iota, whether the CPU has thermal compound applied or not.
Wrong. Semiconductor resistance decreases exponentially with temperature, which means power consumption goes up.
