So today i noticed my iBook fan is on... It never turns on unless I'm webcamming or playing video games for a while. I can only attribute it to the security update as that's the only thing I think it could be. I have no new apps open than I usually do. I've even quite some for a while. The fan does go off, but not much. The computer is on a flat desk just like it has been for the last 5 months. The temperature in here is below 70F. I've only noticed it today though, and the security update was what, 2 days ago? Something is off.

So, anyone else experiencing this? I'm going to restart just to see if that makes anything better.

I remember having that very same problem after the Mac OS X 10.3.6 (or 10.3.7, not sure which one) update. As far as I remember, resetting the PMU fixed it.
