"Thanks for doing this review! It's really helpful since these are two of the three head units I am considering purchasing. One question. How does it handle podcasts? In the iPod connector of my Acura's stereo (not the car i will be putting this unit in), it doesn't even show podcasts. To get them to play, I have to unplug my iPhone (since you can't operate it with the iPhone, only the car) and start the podcast playing thru the speaker. Then plug it back into the car, where it will pick up. Obviously this is a huge inconvenience. Thanks, Connor P http://connorp.me/ http://impodcast.tv/ http://twitter.com/connorpj1"

During the entire duration of this video, I kept thinking " Leo, please keep your eyes on the road and do not get impaled by a car." It would be neat of Alex Lindsay could concoct a special "Terratrike" camera rig to facilitate hands free video capture. Though, it would end up costing well over double the price of the bike itself.

"I had big problems with 10.5.6. I installed the delta updater, but fortunately i had done a TM and SuperDuper backup immediately before. When i tried to boot after the restart, it wouldnt boot. I tried holding down the Option Key, and macintosh HD didnt even show up as an option for booting. I booted from my SD backup, and ran disk util, and my recently acquired Drive Genius. I eventually found out that it had completely destroyed my filesystem. What i ended up having to do is reformat my drive, and use disk utility to restore my SD backup to my internal drive. I restored, and i was back up and running. I waited several weeks to update again, and didn't this weekend, and, thank goodness, it went off without a hitch. Thank God for SuperDuper! Good thing i am paranoid about my backups. I have time machine running on its schedule, SuperDuper is run whenever i remember to do it (about every 2-3 weeks and right before an update comes out) Mozy Unlimited for my important files, documents,..."

@mikema Red on the Drobo just means I've filled it up, but adding new bigger drives fixes it. That's the beauty of the Drobo - mix 'n' match

I understand the fascination with the Drobo, but for about the same price you can get the HP Windows Home Server (WHS). WHS has drive extender, which allows for data redundency, and mix-and-match functionality like the Drobo. On top of that, WHS offers automated backups, add-ins, network connectivity, remote access, etc.

That's a sweeping statement.. Lots of people still use IE, including IE6, and it's these people who make the job of us Web Developers very, very difficult..

I don't use it by choice but have to have it on hand due to the nature of my work and how *nothing* ever ever ever looks or works right in IE and it seems everyone in the world excepting myself uses IE. If IE disappeared suddenly, I wouldn't shed a tear.
- Renee Hendricks
@Winston I hear ya mate. It does make the job hair-pullingly difficult sometimes. But its hard to force users to jump the evil IE ship. Especially basic users that aren't familiar with tech, and use whatever comes with their machine which is usually IE.

A laptop battery should be able to last an entire 2 hour flight from Oakland to Seattle. As much as I love my MacBook Pro, it's embarrasing to have it die mid flight on a fully charged battery while everyone else on windows machines keep plugging along. Apple's battery life sucks serious ass.

i was processing photos with adobe's bridge. No excuse why I shouldn't be able to get at least two hours out of it on a full charge. The battery life on my MBP has always sucked.
- Thomas Hawk
Same thing happens on my windows machine. Battery Life sucks period.
- George Smith
Is your battery getting old? My MBP battery lasts around 3.5-4 hours for general applications.
- Todd Mundt
I'm in agreement, but two questions: 1. How old is the battery? 2. Do you calibrate it monthly or on a regular basis?
- Kevin C. Tofel
I imagine that most people on the flight weren't doing anything nearly as processor, GPU, and disk intensive as that. <2 hours actually seems pretty reasonable there. Especially if you have an older MBP without the LED backlight.
- James (@willia4)
My MBP battery life has deteriorated from 4h when new to less than 2 hours after 8 months. I concur, Apple batteries suck. If using Aperture the life is sucked right out of it in about 1 hour.
- anne-mette
wifi was turned off. It's the same battery that I got with the mac about two and a half years ago. Yes, processing photos is intensive, but sheesh,I still should be able to at least get two hours. The battery on my old Dell laptop did much better than my MBP.
- Thomas Hawk
photo processing *IS* intense CPU work. it's really the same level of work as video processing, just shorter bursts.

It is really bad when your processing photos. My MBP is lucky to last a full hour of photo editing in Lightroom or Photoshop and its only about 8 months old.

That's pretty strange - my Macbook gets 4 hours plus in "flight mode" (wifi off, BT off, brightness medium), and my friends / colleagues with MBP's have similar experiences. One thing I have noticed - batteries don't last forever, so budget on replacing them every 18 months or so if you are a heavy user

Connor gotta keep the screen turned up to get the processing on the photos right. Thanks Kevin, will check out calibration.

You could always buy third party batteries that will match the finish of the MBP and have at least 30% more capacity
- Glenn Batuyong
from twhirl
Mine lasts about 4 hours. Remember to dim the screen brightness. Helps to avoid processor-intensive stuff if you can. Watch movies on your iPod. Also, every 4-6 weeks, run the battery all the way down and re-charge. Try not to always have the power adapter plugged in (like at night). Makes battery last far longer, don't have to replace as often.
- Bill Brandon
Thanks for the message. I was seriously considering switching from a ThinkPad over to a Mac for personal use (and running VMWare.) This is definitely something for me to weight and consider more.
- Cindy L
Thomas, at this point in the battery's life-cycle (2.5 yrs), the calibration won't yield miraculous results. I'd still do it, but I'd temper my expectations since the battery has gone through so many cycles. Good luck!
- Kevin C. Tofel
Maybe you should check the battery status. Not that I'm saying that MBP battery lasts long, but I get two full hours and something more if I turn off wifi (which I guess you don't need when flying) and set a low brightness. I never seen a Window machine running longer than my MBP.
- Kurai (ff)
My first generation MacBook Pro battery still gets a charge of about 3 hours. When I'm on the road I have a Location setting called "None" which automatically turns off Bluetooth, Wifi and inactivates those network ports. With Quicksilver I can just type "none" and it will auto switch. Then when I'm at a hotspot i just type "wd" which autoswitches me to only-wifi port on, DHCP mode. At my job I'll type "work" and it autoswitches to only-ethernet, static DHCP. It keeps all unnecessary ports off. Works well!
- Glenn Batuyong
Your battery is probably 18 months old or older and is on its last legs. Lithium batteries have a very short life relatively and go from good to bad in a very short time frame. Sounds like you need a new battery.
- Joel Ordesky
Weird. I have a 2 yr-old black Macbook, and the battery still lasts at least 3 hrs.
- Rubin Sfadj
grab a tool called coconutBattery and see if your battery can't hold much of a charge anymore - if so, buy a new battery. To prolong battery life, turn off keyboard backlighting and lower your screen brightness. I find doing photo work (Lightroom, Photoshop, etc.) on battery will drain it quickly, so usage will play a part.
- No FB
check out coconut battery to monitor the maximum charge your battery can handle. http://www.coconut-flavour.com/coconut...

Usage will definitely play part. Biggest power consumers are LCD and processors. So screen to dark and be nice with cpu usage!
