More people have XBox 360s than IPhones. More people are going to use their XBox to play video games than their IPhone. I think a business interested in making some money would be better off making a game using XNA and selling it via the XBox Live Marketplace than the IPhone app store.
Kind of beside the point, though. I was just saying it's interesting that the Microsoft product is more open than a similar Apple product. I'm glad you found my post adorable. Perhaps you could read it next time.
Game development is a hobby of mine. I was considering either doing some stuff in Microsoft's XNA Studio for the XBox or the IPhone SDK. It's funny that I'll be using a Microsoft product because it's more open.
While the atmosphere does break up some potential meteorites there are still quite a few impacts. The reason we don't see much evidence of this is that many hit the oceans, and the ones that do hit land are (relatively) quickly masked by natural erosion and vegetation. Plate tectonics can also break them up over time, and lava fills many of them in. The atmosphere plays a big part in these, I know, but the point is that the number of impacts between the moon and the Earth is not that different. It's just that the moon has been collecting them for billions of years and they're never worn away or covered.
