This is interesting, the tech sheet for my iBook says that it should
have a life time up to 5h. But when it's fully loaded, all
battery-applets tells me that it's only 4h left.
It's a brand new iBook and I haven't tested if it's Linux thats wrong or
my battery. Or maybe Linux takes more power? I don't know.
