Safari is indeed snappier!!
Your comment reminds me of an old Richard Thompson lyric:

Well, I've been using an rMBP 15" so I'll just focus on that. How bout some silly issues like having to choose "Change Desktop Background" twice before it comes up, or restarting the computer makes the desktop revert to an old background. How about having to reset the SMC several times to get games to play at 900 MHz on the GPU instead of 270 MHz. Or for the real nasty one that's just killing me, how about making Safari actually work correctly and render CSS as well as Chrome and Internet Explorer do? See this thread here for details: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4145775?start=75&tstart=0
These are flaws that have been ongoing since the rMBP came out (their new flagship product, mind you). No matter how many times I complain to them, no many how many times I've reinstalled / switched out machines, the problems still exist. They are most certainly taking their sweet time.
I was expecting you to post issues that are relevant to the thread....
This is an SMC update for the 13" MBP, 13" MB, and MBA.

My comment is that Apple hasn't been investing technical expertise in a direction that I personally care about. Maybe I'm alone in this opinion, but my opinion is nevertheless relavant to a thread about fixing a battery issue after 1000 charges. You don't see the relevance? I'm sorry.
Check the disk image via (in the Terminal):
It is probably only a new or different partition format. They created the disk image probably with OS X 10.9 (Beta).

Yeah, I though it was a MacBookPro 5
Thanks for the tip, but there is no evidence of that. I compared the output of "hdiutil imageinfo" for one of the good images and the possibly damaged MacBook one, and they are structurally identical: same image format, same compression format. The only details which differ are things like checksums, volume size, and partition-data for partition zero.
hdiutil verify reports the disk image checksums are OK.
Mounting it and doing a Verify Disk in Disk Utility reports "Volume header needs minor repair", so it appears that the file system inside the disk image has a minor corruption issue.
my fans went up to Full Speed on my mid 2011 Air whilst booting... Anyone else had that? Awkward since I did it when I was in the library...

Mine did, same model. But they stopped after they installation.
To all people complaining about that post, I'd take missed attempts at humor over humorless twits anytime!
Me too on MBA 4,1 Maybe did an SMC reset as part of the install?my fans went up to Full Speed on my mid 2011 Air whilst booting... Anyone else had that? Awkward since I did it when I was in the library...
