i have early 2011 macbook pro 13" and for the past few days it has been getting really really hot :( the temp has been over 100 according to istat pro widget. my cpu is 135 F... is this normal? my 1 year warranty is about to expire in a month. i dont know what to do
 
100 degrees Fahrenheit, or even 135 degrees Fahrenheit is more than okay.
Or are you talking in Celsius, that bloody scale only the rest of the world uses?

To see how hot the CPU and other parts in your computer actually get and how fast the individual fans spin, use iStat Pro and use Activity Monitor to show you the processes, that might take up the CPU.
And if your Mac is overheating, it would shut itself down.
Here is some more detailed info from Mister GGJstudios.
