Bitch bitch bitch. Go buy a Dell and run Windows. Oh no! I only get 4-6 hours of battery life. First world problems people. Wtf?
Mac OS X Mountain Lion is obviously doing more things in the background, thus eating battery life.
You can't simply file a bug to 'increase battery life'. That's ludicrous.
After updating to ML 10.8.1 today, Apple Mail finally works with our office's Exchange 2012 server. Unfortunately, now both Trillian and Google Chrome crash on startup. Thank God Mailplane still works!
Anyone else having issues with Trillian or Chrome with 10.8.1?

My battery life improved after updating to 10.8.1.
Battery life under light usage (Mid 2012 cMBP 15", 2.7 i7, hdd, 25% brightness - I'm currently in a dark room, web surfing, and microsoft word open, connected via ethernet with wifi off.)
With 10.8 under the same conditions above, I would get roughly 5.5 to 6.5 hours at 100% battery. So I'm very happy that I've reclaimed some of my battery life back.
Here is a screenshot of my battery life when I'm just using Microsoft Word.
-Also: I am using gfxCardStatus with it set to only use the integrated graphics card (HD4000)
