When your laptop or phone is low on battery, it's time to cull
the herd.
For most people, it's quite a chore to open up system utilities,
& find a mix of CPU/RAM/other stats for programs with
cryptic names.
So, Browser tabs & apps should have their tops show in hotter
(redder) colors if
those apps/tabs are consuming more
resources. (Flash animations esp. are notorious.)
That would make it far easier for users to ID & kill things to
extend life.

Could be extended to all sorts of other metrics like
CPU usage, IO, internet use etc. Much like the
"noisy tab" sound indicator that chrome added
recently. |
|
| |
Could even mix colors. Red = Battery, Green =
CPU, Blue = IO. |
|
| |
Red + Green = Yellow = High CPU and Battery use |
|
| |
Black = Idle in all respects |
|
| |
White = White hot in all respects. |

[ixnaum] Yep! It was the chrome audio indicator
that got me thinking about doing more like this, but
for battery! |
