When your battery life was 7 hours what were you using it for? I can still get 4-6 on low brightness, web browsing only. on my 2011 15" Pro. It becomes low if i try to use photoshop or stuff like that though.

My battery health is 95% and I got my computer mid march 2011. 121 cycles. I think both yours and mine are normal for it to be that way. You probably take it off the charger every day or something right?

My router has become crappier too but I don't think that is because of Lion.

I wish i still had snow leopard

I haven't changed my use, i program a little now for school using eclipse school but other then that i just browse on Chrome and use Itunes with it. I have 115 cycles forgot to mention, but my battery didn't start degrading till i upgraded to Lion, and I see other people on the Apple forums reporting this. And yea my router is the only one that messes up, the one at my dad's place and at my school don't go out. I've been considering downgrading back to snow leopard, but i'm afraid once they finally fix the issues, i won't be able to download it for free again...

If you purchased Mac OS X Lion through the App Store. You can re-download Lion under the account you made the purchase. If your MBP came with Lion, you cannot downgrade to Snow Leopard.  Keep in mind, that if you downgrade to Snow Leopard, you have to do a complete Erase and Install of your HD.
And with your Linksys router, have you checked with Linksys if there was any firmware released regarding Lion? I know there have been problems with certain routers needing a firmware upgrade to be fully compatible with Lion. Check out Linksys' site, they may have a solution to it.

Stay Lurkin: Max you can upgrade your RAM on is 8GB. Confirmed through the Apple Support Site looking up the specs on all 2011 Macbook Pro's.

If you are looking for an alternative to purchase RAM, crucial.com is a good third-party option. Never had a problem with them and many people purchase Ram from them.
 
Safari or Firefox?
Been too lazy to download it.  I use Firefox at work/home (desktop), so I'm comfortable with it.  Only use Safari on my iPhone and MBP.

how are your guys battery life while running lion? I'm only getting like 4-5 hours before I have to recharge it. When I was running snow leopard, my battery would last 1-2 days before I had to recharge it. This @#$% is killing my battery
 
Would you guys recommend getting a battery off ebay from Hong Kong?

My battery is done. lasts 10 minutes off the power supply.

And ill check the linksys site for an upgrade right now.
 
Whats the best program to rip stuff off of your ipod with? I've been using music rescue but that ad that pops up every 50 songs asking for a product key is slowing things down and its a real pain when youre trying to rip 1000s of songs off an ipod. Every other program I've looked up (iRip, Sentui, Xport) requires you to have a product key for the full version. Does anyone have another program they use that doesnt require a registration key in order to use it fully?
 
When I drag icons over into candy bar it doesn't show the new image. Just a piece of paper lol
