Welcome back.
It appears if you make popular games for the iPhone and iPod Touch that you may luck out and bring in around $1 million a month.
Tapulous, the company behind the Tap Tap Revenge series of app games for the Apple devices, says that its games have been installed 20 million times now, and over 600 million games have been logged.
According to Reuters, the company has taken a round of funding at some point for $2.8 million. Tapulous currently employees 20 people, but it sees nothing but growth for the entire industry, just as social gaming is currently growing with success stories like Zynga.
It is estimated that a full third of every iPhone sold has downloaded some form of Tap Tap Revenge from the company. Their revenue comes from a mixture of sold apps, advertising in others and the sale of songs to their various games.
There is certainly something to be said for the "freemium" business model when it comes to the App Store, but of course the trick is getting noticed as the marketplace gets more and more crowded. It's doubtful many companies starting today could see this type of success, but those that have been around for a while may be able to ride the wave along with those who are already on their way.

Let’s look at this culling of cows for a minute.
Imagine a Sustainable solution.
First you ask the question is milk more expensive than any other place in the world?
If it is, then cull.
If it isn’t then you might think of developing a bell curve of costs for the individual dairy farmers who produce milk to a standard of quality but at the lowest cost and still make a profit. What is their break even cost?
The Sustainable approach. Or a Sustainable approach would be to find those dairy farmers who produce milk at the standard of quality and the lowest possible cost and do what you can to help them to continue to produce as much milk as possible.
Those ultra low cost producers could have their output segregated out of the fresh milk category and moved to the powdered milk category. For Export!!! You do know we have a balance of trade problem and we have people starving!!!
I know I am oversymplifying but this Eco Worldly —- should be a place where outside the box thinking is needed.
