I was downvoted, but not the guy asking easily-Googleable questions. Right. So, I guess it's clear: we want more people asking stuff that can be answered by the first Google search result... by the article title itself. Got it.

  It's not what you said, it's the way you said it.

    Non-rhetorical question: How do we say "Please, perform a cursory Google search before posting questions like that." That's less snarky, but still pretty snarky. It's hard to sugarcoat the fact that the parent poster literally didn't read the title of the first Google result.

      I guess maybe something like "I did a Google search for 'x y z', and it turned up the following relevant-looking results: ..."? I think anybody can get the subtext "and it wouldn't be hard for you to do the same" out of that :)

Sweet, except a) i only went and bothered to look at some mac sites, not the all powerful everything in my life revolves around google and b) nothing was on the mac sites when I looked except "hey this new stuff is out" - nothing specifically on the battery life changes and c) I was actually sort of hoping someone who's not dependent on being pro-apple and ad revenue on their site might have real life experience to share. oh, and finally d) that link is nowhere near the 'first result' for all google searches on that topic. the fact that it was number 1 for whatever particular phrase you searched for doesn't mean it's "#1" for everyone all the time. Most of what I found was "Apple says they're going to release something that will improve the battery life", but no hard experience. tl;dr - your google search results aren't everyone's, and not everyone googles for everything all the time as their default life mode.
