>> Hey all, welcome to Tekzilla Daily, I'm Veronica Belmont. We've got an OS X tip for you courtesy of TZ viewer Connor who shares this helpful little tidbit. "Did you know in OSX on a laptop you can see how many charge cycles your battery has endured and tons of other useful power-related information?" Just click the Apple icon in the top left hand corner, select About this Mac and click Power to see everything you could possibly want to know related to power on your Mackintosh. Quick side note, this does work on desktops too. You just won't have quite the swath of information at your disposal. It's also a good thing to check if you think your MacBook or MacBook Pro's battery isn't holding a charge as long as it used to. Now if you have a tip or trick that you want to share, then e-mail us at tekzilla@revision3.com. And don't forget, good old tekzilla.com, it's "the place" to find more tips, tricks, product reviews and how-tos. ^M00:00:54
