SuperSite Blog Daily Update: October 2, 2010

As I noted over on the Windows Phone Secrets blog last night, the first Xbox Live games for Windows Phone have appeared: Flowerz and Hexic Rush. Neat, and it's nice to finally play a non-test game. These are the real deal, with achievements and leaderboards. And for a brief, shining moment last night I was the worldwide champion of Flowerz. :) Microsoft hopes to bury iPhone, Android . Thanks, Captain Obvious. I hope to retire rich. Hold the presses! The Xmarks bookmark syncing solution is going away . Panic ensues. This is why I don't use bookmarks. I don't like to panic.
