Tai Tung Bakery in Yuen Long, which had been making pineapple buns for more than 70 years, was a key proponent of including the technique for making the buns on the list of 480 items of living heritage.&lt;ref name=&quot;Tsang secrets&quot;&gt;{{cite news|last1=Tsang|first1=Denise|title=The secrets behind serving up Hong Kong's 'hot cross buns'|url=http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1587246/secrets-behind-serving-hong-kongs-hot-cross-buns|accessdate=23 November 2014|agency=South China Morning Post|issue=8 September 2014|date=8 September 2014}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> In September 2014, a police raid found that several suppliers (including Starbucks, 7-Eleven and Cafe Express) had been selling pineapple buns made with tainted oil, known as &quot;[[gutter oil]]&quot;, from an unlicensed factory in Taiwan. This oil was recycled from kitchen waste, as well as being a by-product of leather processing and offal from slaughterhouses.&lt;ref&gt;[http://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/article/1587759/starbucks-and-7-eleven-hong-kong-drawn-gutter-oil-scandal?page=all Starbucks and 7-Eleven in Hong Kong drawn into ‘gutter oil’ scandal | South China Morning Post&lt;!-- Bot generated title --&gt;]&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Composition==<br /> The top of the pineapple bun (the part which is made to resemble a pineapple) is made of a dough similar to that used to make [[sugar cookie]]s, which consists of sugar, [[egg (food)|eggs]], flour, and [[lard]]. It is crunchy and is quite sweet compared to the bread underneath. The bread dough underneath is the same used in Chinese style Western breads, which is a softer and sweeter dough compared to Western breads. It is popular with breakfast or afternoon tea.<br /> <br /> Although it is known as &quot;pineapple bun&quot;, the traditional version contains no pineapple. The name originated from the fact that its sugary top crust is cooked to a golden-brown color, and because its checkered top resembles the [[wikt:exocarp|epicarp]] of a pineapple.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|title=Where's The Pineapple?|url=http://mykitchenmylaboratory.blogspot.com/2007/05/wheres-pineapple_27.html|website=|publisher=My Kitchen: My Laboratory|accessdate=29 June 2009}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Buttered variant==<br /> Many Hong Kong restaurants, such as ''[[cha chaan teng]]s'' and ''[[dai pai dong]]s'', offer an item called a '''buttered pineapple bun''', which is a pineapple bun with a piece of butter stuffed inside. They are known in Cantonese as '''''bo lo yau''''' (菠蘿油), in which ''bo lo'' means &quot;pineapple&quot;, and ''yau'' (oil) refers to butter. Variants of this include using [[custard]] in place of butter.<br /> <br /> Typically, the bun would be brought hot from the oven to the diner's table, and served halved with a large slab of butter in between the halves. This item is sometimes criticised for containing too much fat and [[cholesterol]].<br /> <br /> ==Other common variants==<br /> The pineapple bun may come in miniature sizes (迷你菠蘿包), it may be used as a bread roll for sandwiches with luncheon meat (餐肉菠蘿包), or it may be pre-stuffed with [[red bean paste]] (紅豆菠蘿包), custard cream (奶黃菠蘿包), barbecued pork (叉燒菠蘿包), or a sweet filling of shredded coconut (椰絲菠蘿包) like that in a [[cocktail bun]]. It is possible to order a &quot;pineapple pineapple bun&quot;, actually stuffed with pineapple (菠蘿菠蘿包), although this is very likely the product of misinterpretation of the name by non-native bakers.{{cn|date=July 2012}}<br /> <br /> Japanese [[melonpan]] and Korean [[soboro bread]]&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web | title = Korean Soboro Bread | work = Korean Slate | accessdate = 24 August 2011 | date = 28 October 2009 | url = http://koreanslate.com/korean-soboro-bread.html<br /> }}&lt;/ref&gt; are variants that use the same ingredients for a German [[streusel]]-like texture on top but without resemblance to a pineapple.<br /> <br /> ==In popular culture==<br /> *[[McDull]], the main character in the Hong Kong cartoon film ''[[McDull, Prince de la Bun]]'' is often seen with a pineapple bun, since the Chinese name of the film is ''菠蘿油王子'' (''Prince of Pineapple Bun with Butter'').&lt;ref name=sina-hk-1&gt;{{cite web|title=麥兜菠蘿油王子 Mcdull, Prince de la Bun (Chinese)|url=http://ent.sina.com.hk/cgi-bin/movie/mv/main.cgi?id=1229|publisher=Sina Hong Kong|accessdate=14 January 2014}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> *In 2005, &quot;pineapple bun&quot; was nominated as the name of a [[typhoon]], but was rejected because the director of the Hong Kong Observatory stated that news reports concerning the typhoon would sound nonsensical.&lt;ref name=hk-magazine-1&gt;{{cite web|title=Ask Mr. Know-It-All: How do typhoons get their names?|url=http://hk-magazine.com/city-living/column/ask-mr-know-it-all-how-do-typhoons-get-their-names|website=hk-magazine.com|publisher=HK Magazine|accessdate=11 February 2015}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> ==See also==<br /> {{portal|Food}}<br /> *[[Baozi]]<br /> *[[Bun]]<br /> *[[List of buns]]<br /> *[[Melonpan]], the Japanese equivalent of pineapple bun<br /> <br /> ==References==<br /> {{reflist|30em}}<br /> <br /> ==External links==<br /> {{commons category}}<br /> <br /> {{Hong Kong cuisine}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Dim sum]]<br /> [[Category:Hong Kong cuisine]]<br /> [[Category:Sweet breads]]<br /> [[Category:Culture of Macau]]<br /> [[Category:Buns]]<br /> [[Category:Hong Kong breads]]<br /> [[Category:Stuffed dishes]]</div> Nikolaih https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mediatonic&diff=202983225 Mediatonic 2017-04-23T22:51:12Z <p>Nikolaih: Reverted edits by 80.30.43.131 (talk) (HG) (3.1.22)</p> <hr /> <div>{{news release|article|date=February 2016}}<br /> {{Infobox company<br /> | name = Mediatonic Ltd<br /> | type = [[Privately held company|Private]]<br /> | foundation = September 2005<br /> | founder = David Bailey&lt;br /&gt;Paul Croft<br /> | location_city = [[London]]<br /> | location_country = [[United Kingdom]]<br /> | key_people = <br /> | industry = [[Video game industry]]<br /> | products = [[Video games]]<br /> | num_employees = 50 - 100&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web |url=http://content.yudu.com/A28qw0/Dev1002013/resources/64.htm |title=Develop 100: UK Studio Hotlist 2013 |date=2013-08-01 |accessdate=2013-08-06 |publisher=[[Develop (magazine)]]}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> | homepage = [http://www.mediatonicgames.com/ www.mediatonicgames.com]<br /> | footnotes =<br /> }}<br /> '''Mediatonic Games''' is a British independent games developer founded in September 2005&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|title=Mediatonic delight at Tech Track 100 nod|url=http://www.develop-online.net/news/38693/Mediatonic-delight-at-Tech-Track-100-nod|publisher=Develop (magazine)|accessdate=15 August 2013}}&lt;/ref&gt; as '''Mediatonic Limited'''.

Early games customers were businesses like [[PopCap]], [[Big Fish Games]] and [[PlayFirst]]. In the early years, the company built casual titles in Flash such as [[Bejeweled]] and [[Diner Dash]].&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|title=Mediatonic's Rise|url=http://www.edge-online.com/features/mediatonics-rise/|publisher=Edge|accessdate=7 August 2013}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> Mediatonic expanded into creating original franchises with its partners around 2007.

Both presenters submitted their applications at the same time to the [[App Store (iOS)]] and competed for the highest number of downloads.<br /> <br /> Mediatonic created a game called &quot;Biker Blast-off&quot; for the competition which generated a shock result for the show; yielding 1.2million downloads during the competition period in contrast to the 4,074 downloads of Bradbury's &quot;Social Beacon&quot; application.&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|title=Mediatonic victorious in Gadget Show-down|url=http://www.develop-online.net/news/33047/Mediatonic-victorious-in-Gadget-Show-down|publisher=Develop (Magazine)|accessdate=7 August 2013}}&lt;/ref&gt;&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|title=Episode 11 - Apps|url=http://gadgetshow.channel5.com/gadget-show/blog/episode-11-apps|publisher=Channel Five|accessdate=7 August 2013}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == Development history&lt;ref&gt;{{cite web|title=List of Mediatonic Games|url=http://uk.ign.com/companies/mediatonic|publisher=IGN|accessdate=15 August 2013}}&lt;/ref&gt; ==<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;sortable wikitable&quot; style=&quot;font-size: 95%; width: 100%;&quot;<br /> |-<br /> !width=2%|Year<br /> !width=23%|Title<br /> !width=20%|Partner<br /> !width=20%|Platform<br /> !width=35%|Description<br /> |-<br /> |2014<br /> |[[Heavenstrike Rivals]]<br /> |[[Square Enix]]<br /> |[[Android (operating system)|Android]], [[iPhone]], [[Microsoft Windows]]<br /> |A [[Tactical role-playing game]] which includes characters designed by [[Ryoma Ito]].

At the presentation ceremony, Barry said, &quot;I say to the women out there, remember how difficult it was for women like Justice O'Connor starting out,&quot; adding, &quot;Even though she graduated with top grades, she had to take a job as a legal secretary.
