Save more power when your notebooks sleep wiht OS X

[ddma]

Go to Energy Saver preference and uncheck that "Wake for network administrative access". My iBook seems to wake up with more power with this option off. Try it yourself!!

BTW, my iBook usually last for 2hrs 15 mins to 2 hrs 30 mins under OS X, what about yours?

My guage is sitting on 3 hrs 9 min, and I've been surfing the boards on battery only for the past hour.
Display brightness is down around 5 notches. At lower setings I can get much better performance.
And yes, you are right about the network admin access setting. Turning this off means the iBook can sleep that little bit deeper.

I remembered that when I first bought my iBook, I was surprised of its 4 hrs 40 mins long-lasting time but day by day, month by month... It now lasts for 2 hrs and 20 mins only... Is that mean my iBook's battary is dying?
