I was wondering if there is some way I can upgrade my battery to the new one? can I buy it and do it myself? can i Have an apple genious do it for a fee at an apple store? or am I boned? thanks in advance

    No, you can't. It's a physically larger battery. The latest MBPs have the battery built-in, doing away with catches and connectors allows the battery to become larger; larger battery --> longer battery life.
