My rMBP showed me 6:45 right before the update (only safari opened), after the update I get 4:23.... (only safari opened, same webpage, same brightness)
I would use these smilies to describe how I'm feeling:
EDIT: Dropped to 4hrs now (still just safari)...
I never understood why the first inclination is to freak out and think you actually have less battery. Updates do a lot of stuff. Recalibrate your battery and 99% of the time it will be back to where it was, hell it might even be better then what you had if you have never calibrated it.
Can't get Facebook integration to work. It says the account has already been added. It has not.
well, iv not seen my battery (afer 2 full charges) report above 5:34.
iv just disconnected my MBP 2011, and its reporting 3:14, no joke.
its not on full screen, the brightness is about (75%)
gonna try turning bluetooth off now with lower brightness..
doesn't want to go about 3:49
how do i 'recalibrate' my battery??!
Not sure of battery life improvement yet (need more time), but my 2010 15" MBP GUI animations are significantly improved when using the discrete GT 330m. Mission Control animations are very fluid, swiping desktops etc are much better on 10.8.2. I'll test the Intel HD graphics and report back in a few hours or so.
I had the same issue. Install this update from the Apple website: MacBook Air SMC Update
(PS it requires a restart)

Latest estimate for the download of the update is 27 hours! OUCH!!!
Can I get a few thousand people to stop downloading the update so mine might finish in some kind of short time?
Um, mine is doing some 'extra' updates that I apparently can't select not to do. It's weighing in at a rather hefty 1.7G.
Later: It's still at 27 hours... Apparently I need a few hundred thousand to stop downloading instead...

As someone who has seen many Christmases, I can assure you it is not spelled with an apostrophe.
Or maybe not needing so much waiting

I want to believe
That's what I like about the internet, nobody knows how to spell and nobody cares.
or maybe that not everybody is a native english speaker and just try his best to communicate something ...
backup issues with time machine and ReadyNAS NV+, now mostly solved
I used the stock ReadyNAS time machine server for 10.8.1 and all was well. I just upgraded to 10.8.2 and backup is hosed. Time machine keeps reporting "searching for disk" and eventually dies with "The backup disk image “/Volumes/ReadyNAS/jrgs_MBP.sparsebundle” is already in use.". Its a ReadyNAS NV+ as well. Firmware 4.1.9 . Now FrontView is not even working. So I might hold off on 10.8.2 for the moment.
Safari 6.0.1 (under 10.8.2) is not displaying the FronView page, its missing all the numbers. But Firefox works. Frontview shows the backup service is fine, its the expected size etc.
PARTIAL SOLUTION
By reslecting the backup disk, its now backing up fine.
Once the backup completed, now Safari works on FrontView. I don't get that at all, but it is working now.
So 10.8.2 looks good to go to me, even if a few rough edges.

recalibrate. Any time apple changes something with the battery through software its never going to show the exact time until you recalibrate it because the battery is going off the charge that was already there there. IE. update and the battery when at 50% when it restarts before calibration software assumes that 50% is 100% hence the poor battery life, until you recalibrate it into thinking 100% is 100%.
Just opened my Retina from sleep and this is what my battery is reporting on 10.8.2:
Seems like the update is giving me lots more battery time, LOL!

I know a lot of people like that "feature", but I prefer to keep Facebook in its little box and away from the rest of my stuff.
You keep a separate Mac Mini just for using Facebook?
This updated freaked me out. Selected restart only for it to hang on a white screen for 6mins, then finally restarted only to hang on the Apple logo for 3mins..... Late 2010 MBP. Everything seems fine though. Does this update fix WiFi issues?
