Battery-Gate

Ina Fried on iPad Battery-Gate:

So here’s how things work: Apple does, in fact, display the iPad (and iPhone and iPod Touch) as 100 percent charged just before a device reaches a completely charged state. At that point, it will continue charging to 100 percent, then discharge a bit and charge back up to 100 percent, repeating that process until the device is unplugged.

Doing so allows devices to maintain an optimum charge, Apple VP Michael Tchao toldAllThingsD today.

What? Apple knows what they're doing? What? It was totally intentional so that it would provide optimum battery performance? What? Even unplugged at the very lowest 100% setting will give 10 hours of battery life?

Enough of that, but seriously. OMG APPLE R DOOMED!~!~!!!~!@@!!111!~ is getting old.
