I think your computer is overpowered to run Mario Kart... Or it's the worst optimized game ever.

What are you talking about? And who are you talking to?

He's trying to be a smart arse, and he's talking to me. Just let him get on with it, he's mentally ill. He likes to call and compare iRacing to Mario Kart, but if Mario Kart had iRacings online system I would be a player for life.

"Mario Kart" was starting to struggle (by struggle I mean dip below 100fps) at somewhere with 40+ Gen6 cars or 3 different classes of cars in front of me. BF3 was killing me though, 40FPS on low.

lol

I really shouldn't as they aren't in the same league.

Mostly as Maeio Kart at least has consistency in the physics model.

And you can own Mario Kart, but you can only rent iRacing, which costs more then it should.
Mario Kart has funfactor, but iRacing has empty wallet factor.

That would be like a perfect buy (to test WP8) only if it had a flash.

Mmyeah, it depends I guess. I for one never take images, and when I do, I disable the flash because it makes the images look horribly white and it annoys everyone else. I believe Nokia phones make decent photos, even in poor-lit rooms, so I'll have to see. I think it's a perfect phone to try out WP8 since other phones are directly double the price. I would still really consider it, even though it has no flash.

I'm mostly looking forward to the default Nokia apps. They should be top-notch.

Anyway, I should get it between now and Monday, so if you're interested I could share my impressions and/or take some pictures or whatever.

Not for the photos that much, but as a flashlight, I use it very frequently for finding something in the dark etc..

edit: Yes impressions would be nice.. If you could compare some things to Android, like does it have usable remote control app via wifi, how's the Gtalk, Twitter, is there a browser similar to Opera Mini for the Edge browsing etc..

you can still use apps that turn the screen's brightness to 100% and 100% white, it's not so bright as a led flash, BUT it spreads more the light, and give less sharp shadows, which helps on finding stuff

Cool, cheers for the info..

Got a 42" Samsung LED smart TV today for consoles/twitch streams. Didn't think I'd need all the internet features that TV's have these days, but it's actually quite brilliant to be able to stream media straight from PC to TV through home network, impressive progress from "dumb" tellys.

Is the output so much better?

It's Apple, so it's obviously far more superior than any charger.

Actually, Apple chargers have a pretty crazy level of engineering for a charger. Circuits to prevent overloading and other miscellaneous damage to the plugged in device. A lot of other chargers are poorly designed and actually pose a risk to the plugged in device. I can't find the article right now, but some electrical engineer dissected both an Apple wall plug along with a few others and found that some plugins out there are downright scary for the potential of fire and other electricity related tragedies.

Well yeah actually, Apple make surprisingly good chargers.

Lots of words.

Lol, I was only asking what is the power output of that thing And for that level of engineering they could have at least increase the output. I've had a 1A charger with my HTC Explorer.
