If you are not using it, then store it in a cool place. But you need to exercise it by discharging it and charging it once every 2 to 3 weeks.

You should really use two methods..
If you plan to use the laptop constantly, remove the battery and then just use A,C power directly. Constantly supplying power to a full battery can be bad for the device.
However if you wish to use the battery yes you should wait for it to go completely dead. Charge a slight full battery ruins it's life span rapidly. This is true for all rechargeable objects. Always let the battery drain.
I believe your friend is completly correct.
