Or maybe it's just a relatively bad battery. It's not broken, it's just not keeping enough charge to pass Apple's threshold for replacement within warranty.

My thoughts exactly. This guy claims to be a software business owner, but seems to be one dropped cup of coffee away from not being in business anymore. I'm wondering if his customers read that blog too and what they would think...
