You are right! My speedo always seems to be reading a speed higher than the speed limits. Even when I drive the same speed as the cops!
"And remember: Measuring signal without measuring noise is like only counting the goals your team scores." <-Good quote.
I bet thats why most phone battery meters only have 3 bars now. What can you really tell from an indicator that only has 3 levels? I bet the categories are something like 100-50%, 50-25% and 25-0%. My PPC 6700 reported the battery in 1% increments. New WM devices only give it in 10% increments, though it can be hacked to be 1%.
