Most batteries today will run at least several hours even after a year. From conversations with lots of mobile workers I believe it's simply fear. They stay plugged in just in case they find themselves away from a plug someday. That means they almost never use a laptop unplugged, something that amuses me to no end. :)

Mostly fear probably. If your laptop lasts 2 hours and you spend an hour of it at the coffee shop, you have that worry of running out of juice since there's only a hour left before you need to plug in.

I run mine down to 10% almost every work day before I plug it in. I still get 4 hours on my Dell D600.

Cause I'd like to use my computer for more than 15 minutes? o.O

Holy crap. I want this for my Viliv. You've inspired me to load up Fruity loops for the journey to SXSW. I'll have my first track ready by the time I land.

I've always been intrigued by music creation apps - I collect them, especially on mobile devices (Electroplankton on the DS, Bebot, RjDj, and many, many more on the iPhone). But I just don't have that creative musical spark to actually create *good* music with them. My hat's off to those who do. But it's fun to collect the instruments! :-)
