Cocos2D is an amazing and easy to use framework, but since it's written in Objective-C you can only write games with it for iOS and the Mac.
Wouldn't it be great if you could use the same easy to use Cocos2D API, but have it run on Android as well? This way you could greatly extend the market for your app, without adding a lot of extra work!

In My Mailbox #25
What's In My MailboxFor Review:All These Things I've Done By Gabrielle Zevin (//)I was very shocked to find a red box in my mailbox. It was from Macmillan. Curious I open it to find red confetti, bag of chocolate cover expresso, and a note from the publicist and underneath all of that was Gabrielle Zevin's new novel All these things I've done. Which btw, judging from the first 100 pages, will definitely be a hit. It comes out this September 2011 :) Thank you very much Ksenia Winnicki.What did you guys get in your mailbox this week? BTW if you haven't already figure it out. In my Mailbox was started by .Yours Truly, - Full Post

Must be following both my twitter and blog (GFC or Linky) to enter!!-The Winner will be notify immediately after the contest closes (next Monday). If I get no reply from the winner in 48 hours I will pick a new winner =D - Full Post
The Most Famous Bottle Design, Forever?
Coca-Cola settled on its famous contour bottle design almost 100 years ago, in 1916, after several years of trials with other far less distinctive shapes (at least under today’s standards):
Federal trademark the first use date to be July 8, 1916. The description of the contour bottle design mark in 1960 was: “The trademark consists of the distinctively shaped contour, or confirmation, and design of the bottle as shown”:
The silhouette or outline of the contour bottle design stands alone as a even without words:
The negative image or silhouette of the contour bottle design is also as a trademark:
And, now the outline or partial image of the contour bottle design shape even finds itself in multiple other federally-registered formats for the Coca-Cola brand:
Do these examples make it the most famous that no one is talking about — when they’re talking about ? Sorry, .
Will there ever be a more iconic bottle design or ? Sorry, Pepsi, .
The beauty in the design to , of course, lies in the fact that the shape can be owned as a trademark, forever . . . . - Full Post

Happiness is a Federally-Registered Mark
It should be no surprise that the famous Coca-Cola brand name is federally-registered. One of the many significant is the USPTO’s obligation to refuse registration of third party marks that are likely to confuse — most importantly, without the prompting or involvement of the prior trademark registrant.
No doubt Coca-Cola will be popping a top and opening a little happiness when it learns that it won’t have to spend the time or effort to formally oppose an by ”Harvey W. Wiley, d/b/a We The People” (apparently located in Chattanooga, Tennessee).
The application seeks to register COCA COLA, without a hyphen (as if that makes a difference), for “Colas; Non-alcoholic beverages, namely, carbonated beverages.” Last Friday, the USPTO promptly delivered to Mr. Wiley both barrels of sticky syrup in a and registration refusal. It should be safe to trust that this application will never proceed to publication, but it should leave us all wondering what on earth the Applicant is thinking.
Perhaps the whole trademark filing is a hoax, since it appears “Harvey W. Wiley” is a known historical pioneer consumer activist, . Moreover, Applicant Harvey can’t seem to make up his mind on his actual name, as as the “Owner” – ”Harvey W. Harvey,” then he signed as “General Partner” – ”Harvey Wiley,” a few months later in a to disclaim exclusive rights in the term COLA.
This is truly bizarre behavior. You’d think the $275 governmental filing fee would act as a sufficient deterrent for utterly wasting the time of USPTO Examining Attorneys, but apparently not for this Harvey.
And now, for , to quote an entirely different Harvey.
Thankfully for Coca-Cola, its portfolio of federally-registered Coca-Cola marks should avoid its need to waste any time on this one, with special thanks to the USPTO, of course. - Full Post
