[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1246529, member: 71075"] Netflix uses Silverlight, Microsoft's web plugin for delivering media and rich content (think of it as their answer to Flash). Such a plugin tends to use quite a bit of resources, especially if you're watching a video in fullscreen. An increase in temperature is "normal" in that increased CPU usage will naturally lead to an increase in internal temperature. I stream content in Netflix quite regularly and have had no issues. You shouldn't either - there's nothing wrong with the increase and your Mac should be able to handle it. [/QUOTE]
