Not to argue, but is this really true? I have 2 points:

1) The aluminum 12" (as well as 15" and 17") is made to run with the 
lid down in extended desktop mode, and it runs a G4 at higher speeds. 
One would think those could get even hotter!

2) If you lift your keyboard out, you'll notice that there's no 
ventilation on the bottom of the keyboard...it's a flat piece of 
plastic/metal. It seems like it would prevent air from flowing thru the 
keyboard...so maybe this isn't really a concern?

Does anyone disagree?
