Anyone having this issue but the upper left hand of the screen actually is a bit hot to the touch and in the same spot in the back where I assume the battery is located.

Had my Nexus 10 for 2 days with no overheating until I upgraded to 4.2. Now gets very hot top left and eats battery as others have described. Would prefer not to factory reset. Just running G+ and email, no games.
To bad this didn't have the samsung octa-core processor in it.
Adding more cores would do absolutely nothing to the amount of heat dissipated or the battery life. It would also show 0% speed improvement in about 99% of typical, real-world use. So I am not sure I understand how your statement relates to the rest of what you wrote.
Because such casual games would be pawned off on the a7 cores and shut off the A15 cores. The A15 is whats making so much heat.
The battery is not whats getting really hot.
Samsung promised 70% lower power consumption with its octo-core processor and less power usually means less heat.
To assume technology doesn't evolve is efficiency performance and managing to add speed is pretty ignorant.
8 cores doesn't mean 4 times the battery drain,
plus 4 or more of the cores are usually off. If you saw the big screen at CES when they were showing the Octa-core in action it was mostly a7 cores running with the A15 kicking on and off when speed was needed.
Stuff like mild web browsing and netflix/youtube/hulu doesn't heat up the tablet. Stuff like games do. I don't know if its because samsung made a bug in its hardware or it Android but even casual games work the processor to hard. The device doesn't seem to realize its wasting power. Like if I play Final Fantasy 3 (a low quality game originally made for ds) my tablet would heat up and drain battery like crazy, but if I were to play a high end game like Dead Trigger at maximum graphics I would get about the same heat and drain. Same with other casual games like stupid zombies. To bad this didn't have the samsung octa-core processor in it.
