Why does my macbook runs hot

[dmsee]

Macbook pro 2.2Ghz
I was watching mtv.com and looked at my cpu temp and it was up to 80 C
I suddenly started checking afterwards but it stayed within 60-70
Is this normal or not?

flash is a processor intensive file format and that's why having it on the iPhone would also be a battery life hog.

The more CPU activity causes the computer to be hotter.

i have found that the standard fan drivers on mbp's are to focused on quietness. This should cool it down: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/23137
