Apple Faces Up to the MacBook Whining
Whiney Mac Fanboy writes "The Register is reporting that Apple has finally admitted to the 'high pitched whining' problems with it's MacBook line — but only to tell customers to contact AppleCare. From the article: 'MacBook Pro users have complained about numerous noises emanating from their machines since the Intel-based notebooks began shipping in February this year. Audible irritations reported by machine owners include whining sounds coming from the screen, from the body of the notebook, and from the area below the screen hinge when the laptop's running on batteries and both cores of the Core Duo CPU are enabled.'"
May the screaming is the Mac being in pain from having to run Windows. (I'm a dyed in the wool Windows user, but I had to.)
Information wants a fueled airplane waiting at the hangar and no one gets hurt.
...finally admit to the incessant whining noises caused by its software?
Once I removed the Fran Drescher audio clips from the system sounds, it was smooth sailing from then on.
Where were you when the voynix came?
"Slap a little oil on there and she'll be right as rain"
I know. The processor speed also can drop below 800 mhz unless you shovel coal fast enough into the thing, too.

And all along I thought that whine was from the users of the computers :]
A computer once beat me at chess, but it was no match for me at kick boxing.
So is he a whiney fanboy about Macs or a fanboy about whiney Macs?
But seriously, this seems to be a persistent problem with Apple's nice-looking toys. They make the iPods shiny black, so every scratch stands out. They make clear cases so you can see all the dust bunnies inside. They make fresh, clean colors that only look good new. Me, I'm a realist. I buy barf-colored carpet for my living room just to be safe.
