    Hi...

    Quick question:

    Does the hardware acceleration - now becoming common on the "new" generation of browsers (IE9 Beta, Chrome, FF etc.) - use more battery power?

    Thanks

    IMHO , no. it's like when WIN AERO was tested to see if it used more power and the answer was no. it's so insignificant that it doesn't even register.

    anybody else can chime in if im off-base.
