comment How can I preserve the battery cycles on my MacBook Air?
I'm a little worried now — my MacBook Air is a year old and has 558 cycles. This seems pretty bad. Should I worry about it? I don't really know how I have used up so many cycles. My MBA is my primary computer and I have ran it all the way down to 0% several times before but I still don't see why I have used so many cycles. I'm trying to lower the number of cycles I use now and I recently got an external monitor and adapter and have made a desktop out of my MBA but I am still worried my MBA's battery won't last much longer. Any thoughts?

comment Why does GarageBand have the older window control buttons?
Thanks for explaining! That is understandable. I think the wood on the side is pointless though. A normal window would probably look completely fine. :P

Yeah, I set it to medium as well but it didn't help. Quicktime's screen recorder is a piece of junk in its current state. Apple needs to fix it.

@qegal While recording, at some points it takes up over 90% of the CPU and usually stays between 30% and 70%. I don't see why it's doing that.
