Below is the highly famous “Blood-Vomiting Game”.
Updates to come.

As much as I dislike Apple as a company I do tend to like John Gruber and his analysis. He is an ass like me most of the time which probably helps. This time though he goes to far. He points out that some tests with Flash on the Android [...]
