Not so, reports Sebastian Anthony at Download Squad: <blockquote>Apple, with its locked-down, isolated sandbox is in trouble. Do game developers have any reason to continue working on games for the iPhone or iPad now that Microsoft is offering so much more? […]<br/>Can Apple really see themselves competing, with a minuscule desktop market share and 25% of the smartphone sector? Steve Jobs has announced Apple’s intent to move into mobile gaming, but can you really see developers siding with the iPhone when Windows Phone 7 is just around the corner?</blockquote> </blockquote> <p>The sandbox is exactly what Apple has going for them in this case. A clearly defined platform, which developers can build upon. They don’t have to worry about hardware incompatibilities and driver problems.<br/>Microsoft has it’s own sandbox, the Xbox and the only thing they’re doing, is making that sandbox bigger. They understand that they have to keep it a sandbox, in order maintain a high level of control and quality.</p>http://mangochut.net/post/435319866http://mangochut.net/post/435319866Mon, 08 Mar 2010 22:50:00 +0100microsoftxboxapplegaming<h1>Banana milkshake with ground coffee</h1> <p>A milkshake that gives the body a kickstart.</p> <h2>Ingredients</h2> <ol> <li>1 banana</li> <li>1/2 tsp. ground coffee (no instant coffee)</li> <li>2 tsp. cocoa or Ovaltine (a Swiss barley malt drink)</li> <li>300ml milk</li> </ol> <h2>Directions</h2> <ol> <li>Cut the banana into slices and put it in a high bowl.</li> <li>Add the coffee and the Ovaltine</li> <li>Add the milk</li> <li>Blend with an immersion blender until the mix is a smooth liquid and the milk is starting to foam.</li> <li>Pour into a glass and enjoy</li> </ol> <p>Search, share, and cook your recipes on Mac OS X with <a href="http://acaciatreesoftware.com/souschef/" target="_blank">SousChef</a>!</p>http://mangochut.net/post/434763670http://mangochut.net/post/434763670Mon, 08 Mar 2010 16:11:37 +0100recipebananacoffee“<p>“The answer is as easy as it is counter-intuitive: Tumblr is a New York company and Posterous is a Silicon Valley company.</p> <p>Or, to put it another way: Posterous is an engineered product, while Tumblr is a designed product.”</p>”<br/><br/> -
