Macbook Batteries

I've just killed my third or fourth battery in 6 years for my Blackbook (A1181), first was Apple, others were chinese compatible. What can I say about this:

- they all die the same way (erratic functioning heading to computer issues, inflating)
- Apple's are consistent in capacity (high to start with), compatible are sometimes same, sometimes less…
- Apple's may last longer (a little…)
- price is not the same definitely.

All in all, given they all die after a year/year and a half, without even reaching the limits they should, I don't see the point to pay the Apple premium in this regard. Especially as the warranty is taylored to not cover the batteries when they fail anyway (far from their supposed limits…)

Lion Looming…

First, this is the work of 12 monkeys, first translated by melenko, thanks for the job guys!


Coming from version 10.6.8 I moved to 10.7 (Build 11A494a).
It needs 3 steps:
1/ when the installation step is launched, you will be prompted to select some options like the reset of your password, Time Machine, restore, Lion install…
2/ the Mac reboots after +- 3 minutes. During that time, it copied the installation folders on the target HD.
3/ reboot

Then you are in the familiar install environment again and the installation finishes in the usual time (about half an hour).

New features:
- everything seems to be more precise, graphically speaking.
- the system seems to be more responding.
- Mission Control is very intuitive.
- automatic restore of opened apps after a reboot, including documents.
- full screen for the apps.
- automatic resizing of the windows, plus resizing from any border.
- evolved management of the Multi-Touch.
- The Library folders are hidden

All of the apps like Mail, Adresses, iCal seem have better GUI. and are fast.

PT needs probably to be installed again. Part of it is labelled as incompatible software and moved to a folder thus named that way.

AU plugs concerns in Logic: the ones that couldn't pass the validation process are
- Izotope Spectron and Trash.
- PSP Pseudo Stereo, Stereo Controller, Stereo Enhancer.
- Sonnox Debuzzer, Denoiser.
- Altiverb 6.3.5.
- Melodyne Editor 1.1.5
- Amplitube metal.

For the rest of the VI's it seems OK.

Note that he has loads of plugins, the issues only are reported.

This it on a beta, he's testing the golden master now, so more to come.
