And this is why I don't buy brand-new stuff.
because you get cool new features with them?
And this is why I don't buy brand-new stuff.
I'm filled with regret every time I gaze into the beautiful display of my rMBP. Luckily I can keep the lid closed while it does awesome **** for me now.
Holy crap! I just applied the update and the fans spinning up to maximum scared the crap out of me!
hahaha same here, and my cat :D
So, I have already downloaded and installed the SMC Update. On my Retina MacBook this caused a major pink screen issue. I have posted on the Apple Forums about it here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4146958
If anyone has any thoughts or has a similar issue, please respond to that thread.

Maybe try disabling all that extra crap you have running first.
And this is why I don't buy brand-new stuff. It's better to just wait a little for all of the fixes.
Umm... This is not a fix. This is a firmware update that enables Power Nap. It doesn't matter when you upgrade to Mountain Lion, you'll still have to update your firmware to use Power Nap.
Holy crap! I just applied the update and the fans spinning up to maximum scared the crap out of me!
If only you had read the warning before you applied the update you would've been prepared for that :p
Wonder how long it'll take someone to figure out a way around to enabling it :cool:
It relies on hardware to support this feature... so... long.
