Apple will replace it. My MBP has a Li-ion battery, should be 300 cycles to 80%. Yours is a Li-pol battery, IIRC Apple have 1,000 cycles to 80%. I think they give them a life of 2 years too, hence why I have to buy mine now as it's over 2 years old.
Batteries are wearable parts, like hard drives and fans, so in the UK (where I'm from) they do not usually come under the Sales of Goods Act as having to be durable parts that should last 6 years. So, Apple can get away with poor batteries and not have to replace them.
My current MacBook Pro I bought in 2007 is on its 4th battery, which now only holds charge for 30 minutes, showing 'health' of 13%, and has had 170 cycles. I really can't be bothered to by a 5th one.
Meanwhile, my MacBook has had over 1,400 cycles and has a health of 80% of its original charge when new.
I'd like a way to fool the firmware in to thinking my cells were fine, I'm pretty certain they are fine, they are just being mis-reported and the chip kills them off.
Not just that... now that you're on an Android platform, you don't need to synch your contacts across phones as long as you are moving to an Android phone. You turn the phone on, plug in your Google account details, and there's all your contacts, calendar, your email is set up, etc.. You can also log in to GMail or Google Calendar and modify it all directly from a PC. That is one thing that iOS and Blackberry are both sorely lacking.
All my contacts, calendars, e-mail etc are all synced with Google on my iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android.
Suspending to RAM on my 2007 MacBook Pro will deplete batteries from full is 10-15 days, I think the latest Air's last for 30. Never had a problem suspending either to RAM or disk under OS X, Windows XP hibernating has never worked on any machine I have used, most apps crash and sometimes a BSOD when switched back on, unsure about 7 as I have only use that a couple of times.
A useful new feature in latest Nightly versions from Mozilla is about:memory. It gives you a full tree view of where the memory is being used. Of my 360MB which the browser is currently using, 101MB is JS, 46MB is storage (you back button and memory cache), 70MB on "heap-unclassified" whatever that is. JS seems to be the biggest consumer of memory.
I do not mean to sound like a troll, but it seems all browsers are consuming more and more memory. Chrome being the worst (due to every tab being sandboxed?), Safari is equal to Firefox.
Why is memory usage increasing so much in recent years? Firefox is currently consuming 450MB on my machine with only a few tabs open.

Do not forget Exchange as well.

One battery did do this though: http://www.flickr.com/photos/simonhowes/4901087978/in/photostream
Gb/s, sorry!
DisplayPort has its own 10GB/s channel, it does not use the two way 10GB/s PCIe interface.
OS X 10.1 was a free upgrade from 10.0. All you had to do was visit an Apple retailer and supply your own CD/DVD.
Mac App Store can be used on unlimited amount of machines. The 5 limit is for iTunes Store.

'Cloud terrorism' please. They care giving 'cyber' a bad name.
I'm still dreaming of a service similar to Steam, for movies.
Lovefilm and iTunes offer services what you are after.
Ok, now that I have RTFA. It's on about people operating the internal network, not the cloud based systems like http://slashdot.org/story/11/06/28/2024221/British-NHS-Patient-Records-Go-To-the-Cloud
Really both part of the same system though. All data about myself on the internal network I can view on the NHS web site.
I thought the NHS had 61 million users?
You're not the mass target market for the likes of Apple or Samsung. Archos make tablets that allow you to install anything you want.
Unlimited Macs on the Mac App Store. The limit of 5 is for iTunes music and video.
This comes to mind. http://www.businessballs.com/images/treeswing/tree_swing_70s.jpeg
I use Automatic Duck's FCP7 importer for Avid. Works fine. :)
We call that cider in the UK and it comes from the West Country.
Very competitive market in the UK. Asda (Walmart), Tesco, Ocado (John Lewis Partnership) to name a few.
Doesn't cost much more, I actually make a saving as I do not impulse buy when I see things on special offer.
Mac's even have wake on via wi-fi. Always worked fine for me.

Are you sure? When I look at him through my two windows that are spaced apart he looks like a particle...
Religious people will say "We told you that God isn't a particle".
