Hi,
I just found out the hard way, that if you "shut off" a device, while playing Warfare, that it causes a huge amount of battery drain. I went to turn my Viewsonic V37 back on 3 hours later, and the battery was 100% drained, had to put it in the cradle to get it to power up. For devices with a lousy backup system, this could lead to a huge loss of data.
The program should check to see what the status of the device is, and suspend some of it's continuous loops when the machine is powered down.
Otherwise, the program is amazing, and keep up the good work!
