I said in this episode that the first Maccast was on December 13th, 2005. That IS wrong. It was December 13th, 2004 which would make it 5 years. Sorry for the confusion. Maurice,

Don't believe it! I have a MacBook Pro 13" and the batteries are stunningly bad even when no browser is used. The Activity Monitor show minimal activity, yet the batteries, at best, last 3 hours or so. My older white MacBook lasts much longer. When I need to run in an environment where battery power is a must, I go with the older MacBook. The MacBook Pro is only useful for the day when plugged in. Apple really has to find a way to bring back user-replaceable battery packs in these newer models. The comments about Flash eating up battery life… Don’t believe it!

The first episode of the Maccast went out on 12/13/2004. In a few more days it will be 12/13/2009. By my math that's 5 years. No? I don’t think I’m off.
