MacBook Air: overheating, leading to freezes?

MacFixit has an article today with reports of freezes from overheating. Processor-intensive tasks and Time Machine are culprits, it seems.

The article offers several overheating fixes, including keeping the Air on a flat, hard surface and avoiding soft or pillowy surfaces. The MacBook Air SMC update 1.0 should be applied and can help.

I suspect that this is a limited problem, but worth monitoring if you have an Air and want to keep it happy. In any case, if you have a laptop of any description, the flat, hard surface tip is important.
