I am asked this question often, “how should I treat my MacBook Pro battery?” (and you can replace MacBook Pro with any device)

During my tenure at Apple all the computers where plugged in constantly, which is not good for a battery powered device.
Back in the day charging when at 50% was a no-no because batteries would develop habits. Apple states they have adaptive charging, which means you can charge whenever which out bad habits forming.

This is what I do, which in turn I inform my clients, I charge to 100% then unplug and use. I only charge when it is below 15% and charge it back to 100%. If this is not possible I am sure a few discrepancies will not hurt.

Here is the apple link about how to treat their batteries:

As I type from my new MBP retina display, I do not hear the sounds of a hard drive, not feel the heat from the bottom case of older MBP’s. But what I do see is crisp fonts and beautiful pictures and the speed is tremendous. I opted for the 512GB SSD model and so far has been worth EVERY penny. I love my people at the Apple Store WillowBend (I did not get paid for that) please reward them by shopping there for all your Apple needs.

If you follow my Twitter you will see this post as well and most of my friends follow me, so thanks again!

So I was updating My PTA website (which I host using MobileMe) for the last time and I got an interesting pop-up window:

I thought this was funny at first, then I thought of all the MobileMe lovers and the rumor site speculating… “MobileMe is back” or “Apple listened”

But then I thought to myself someone at Apple is going to lose their job over this small mistake. And then I was not laughing any more.

First the guy who lost his iPhone 4 in a bar, now this….
