hi. i have noticed my MBA's fan is kicking in much much more these days. started about a week ago. it kicks in when i'm browsing, word processing, or just while the computer is on stand by. this can be on my lap, on a table, on a lap tray. Looking under the activity monitor, the thing that is using the most CPU is Voice Over. is this the same on anyone else's Mac? if it is VO, how come it hasn't done it until now? bit worrying :-( thanks.
