Batteries run out in a month or two, but other than that they could sit there for years and still get the data off the disks I would have thought - assuming they weren't damaged in the crash.
It's actually possible that happened and they just threw parts of the plane into the ocean to miss direct people into thinking it crashed at sea.

dont think they'll be able to pinpoint to the area of the plane from a single debris.
if they find multi debris from all of the places, they'll be able to pinpoint to the area better from current simulation software.
regardless what i think, i really hope they find the black box
I still reckon it was hijacked and an attempt made to fly it to Iran for whatever reason (theres a few "possible" connections*) and it went down somewhere in a line between India and Madagascar - in almost any other direction including to an extent the area they are searching it would far more likely have been picked up by military radar, etc. due to the situations in those areas i.e. overland India, South China Seas, etc. are all heavily monitored as are most areas around west and north west Australia.
* None the least around that time an Iranian naval support fleet left Salalah unexpectedly and headed in that general direction.
Well the difference is I'm not convinced it is the actual and only possibility - but I find with time that the possibility comes slightly more likely rather than diminished as other possibilities are increasingly coming up empty while for some reason it has largely not been tested and there are enough even if tentative at best links to merit some consideration.

^^ Guess you did a little googling hence the edit :S
Not saying there is anything to it but there are several potential links that atleast publicly don't seem to have really been followed up on - a group with (potentially sensitive) links through work (fairly tenuous at best) as well as the 2 that boarded with false documentation.
EDIT: The possibility for it being in that position (despite possible based on distance and time) was discounted due to the assumption that if it was that side of the satellite it would have come into range of another Inmarsat satellite but since some possibilities have come up as to why it might not have been picked up by other satellites.
