Well, we were afraid of this:
Korean Air, South Korea's largest airline, has banned the in-flight use of all of Dell and some Apple laptop computer models while operating on battery power after the U.S. firms announced massive recalls over a battery problem, a company official said Wednesday.
The ban has been in place since Aug. 30, but passengers can still operate the laptops if using electricity from the in-seat power supply system after separating the batteries from the computers, a Korean Air Co. spokeswoman said on condition of anonymity, citing policy.
Interesting. My MacBook Pro runs plenty hot, even when plugged in to AC power; but the heat is up toward the top of the keyboard, not down around the battery area. Either way, it's quite something to get used to after the comparatively cool-running iBook.
