Please tell us how this statement is useful as well. You are no less an ass
at this point, considering you thought it useful to even include this.

explain us.

Does it really take a genius to know how brightness on a screen can have a
huge impact on the battery? A full brightness screen vs 2 steps from lowest
light could be the difference between 4 hours and 30 minutes. Even on LED
backlit screens. Especially on the new AMD APUs where the screen can
sometimes use as much power as the APU. And on Trinity the screen will
probably use more since if I remember right they can use as little as 20
watts and average between 30 and 40 at 100%.

So based on that an LED backlit LCD could use 25 watts at 15" and would use
more or almost as much power as the Trinity APU on battery. Which means
this bug is very important to the future of ultrabooks and mid-range
notebooks.

Most people just assume that notebooks can't last a while on battery so
they live with it, I assume. Some people know they can get 4-6 hours out of
a notebook, especially AMD APU, and even with 1080p video playing.

Way to try and be suttle while being an ass.  The way you are treating him
I would cheer if he fixed it and didn't share though. You don't care
obviously so why should he care to help you be lazy?

fixing them than calling the work of others "ridiculous".

He's not wrong, and this is not uncommon. Are you new here? There are
hundreds (if not ten fold) of bugs that have not been addressed in years.
It's not uncommon for a bug like this to get ignored but such is life on a
big project.
