My new Macbook Pro will drain its battery to 0% if I unplug it and don't shut the screen. Shouldn't it go to sleep automatically and conserve battery?

It should if an app isn't keeping it awake. What do you have the Energy Savings settings at?
All defaults. Hard disks sleep when possible, computer sleep at 10 minutes. "Wake for network access" is checked though.

My roommate unplugged it to borrow my power cord, so the problem probably was me leaving spotify running or something else that I'd normally turn off.

For some reason spotlight has been kind of 'jerky' lately. As soon as I type a letter it returns the top hit, applications, and web searches, and then a half second later it refreshes the dropdown with system preferences, folder, messages, etc. I made a little video to demonstrate:

It wasn't always like this, and it's kind of annoying how it's always flashing as I try to type. Anybody know what might cause this?

I had that happen for a bit. It went away after I did a reboot.

Hmm. It's weird, almost as if something is stealing focus away from it. Does it persist after reboot?

Thanks guys, this fixed it for me. :)
