I think they know the problem for the random shutdowns. If you read the apple support threads on the RSD issue, at the top of the thread, which were posts dated around July, nobody was getting their problem fixed. Now at the end of the thread with posts dated Aug 15 and later, people seem to be getting their problems fixed. Some kind of thermal thing on the intel chip, that regulates going from cold to hot? macsimumnews.com

Oh god, you really are a mac user. Where exactly did you learn that notebooks had liquid lithium ion batteries? (there is no such thing, btw) there are two types - cell and polymer. cells look like AA or cylindrical batteries. polymer look like sheets of substrate layered together and can be molded into almost any shape. liquid lithium ion? any idea what temperature it takes to melt lithium? --------- The battery problem is only in the computers that were shipped with liquid lithium ion batteries, which as I understand it, does not include any of the Intel processor Mac laptops which were shipped with Lithium ion gel batteries.
