Is the windows firewall or a corporate third party firewall which you have on the server?Quote:

From what I have read here most people don't bother with software firewalls for PCs on their school LAN. They rely on good security practices e.g. permissions and patching and a perimeter firewall on their broadband connection.
If you are certain you need software firewall on your server then make exceptiosn for common protocols such as CIFS/SMB, DNS, DHCP, ADS
@LOUD: Why do you want the firewall turned on??
It is a major pain in the rear to configure correctly so that all users/services and communicate correctly. As long as your desktops are locked down correctly and execute access removed from various files and programs then all should be ok.
I personally really wouldn't bother with it on both desktop or server.
I agree with the previous statement. Surely your school goes through your LEA firewall, all of the schools in my neck of the woods certainly do and as stated above we rely upon good security practices etc. Therefore that wouldmean your protected from the outside world getting in and the little "darlings" getting out.Quote:

More trouble than it is worth
See tosca925 post - job done
RM manage to make systems that work with the f/w on, so I guess you Vanilla's just can't hack it? ;b
It's the defence in depth thing. I'm a bit sceptical about the advantages when you have to punch so many holes through the f/w, but I think you may have to start getting used to that e.g. try pinging a longhorn/2008 beta 3 server core.
open the ports on the firewall to let the clients through, if you REALLY MUST have the firewall on!
open the ports on the firewall to let the clients through, if you REALLY MUST have the firewall on!
I'm curious to know how you deal with internal threats if the firewall is turned off?
Your LEA might protect external threats, but what about infected PC's with malware ect that are internal? You can't possibly guarentee infected laptops ect are not plugged in to the network, or malware downloaded by staff.
I'm not trying to start a flaming war but I am just curious to know how you deal with internal threats?
I'm currently trying to setup a Linux machine with Packetfence to sort out the malware issue, as I'm pretty sure it can kill anything it sees as a threat!

Multiplayer game to dedicate to?
So which one should I dedicate to, not playing any others?
Okay, maybe not exclusively, but still, I can't decide what game to commit to. Though I have a feeling with the older games or FPS games, it would get boring fast.
Yeah, I know there's nothing forcing me to commit to any single game, but with MP games I like to focus on one at a time and get really immersed into it for some reason.

My little brother has been hooked on League of Legends. I would suggest trying the free ones first.
Quake Live is awesome, but it gets old after a while.

Yeah I played LoL like an addict for months. I don't have any experience with the other 2 though. I heard the other 2 are more skill based so I kinda wanted to try them or switch to them. In the end though I'm just being lazy and having y'all decide what game I play.
Tried Quake Live too once, and it just wasn't the same as Q3 or UT. Though I always liked the UT games moar. ><

Yeah, I kinda feel like I grew out of mmos after I played a ton of Lineage 2 and Anarchy Online and Everquest 2 back in the day. They truly are good time killers though, and if people suggest I try one then I definitely will.

I should have put Torchlight 2 up there to counterbalance Diablo 3.
|13th May 2012, 01:29 PM
GW 2 will be awesome, too bad no releasedate yet.
|13th May 2012, 08:43 PM
UT simply because it keeps you sharp for other reflex/multitasking heavy games like TF2 or Halo.
|13th May 2012, 10:46 PM
Tribes Ascend for shooting dudes, Diablo 3 for smashing dudes. That is all I'll be playing for a while.

Guild Wars 2 is shaping up to be pretty awesome, in my opinion. I'm looking forward to another beta weekend event. ArenaNet has made some nice changes to the standard MMORPG gameplay. Movement, aim, and position are more important than in games like World of Warcraft, though there are still targeted skills. Questing is not a static thing with their event system. You can enter an area and get involved immediately without needing to party with other players, you just contribute to the event and get rewarded based on your contribution. You can raise your reputation with NPCs in each zone and unlock rewards that way. The events are cyclical and branching. If you and the other people fighting fail to fend off the dragon attack or whatever, the town burns and another chain of events will be set in motion. Eventually it will get back to the original state, but it's a bit more compelling than collecting bear asses for people with punctuation floating over their heads. They've also made it their goal to break the holy trinity of tank, damage, healer. Each character has a basic set of five skills based on their equipped weapons (each class has a different skill set for available weapons) on the left side of the action bar. Dual wield means 1-3 are main hand, 4 and 5 are off hand. You can mix and match for different play styles. This means Warriors in particular get a boat load of options to choose from and they're all pretty cool. Slot 6 is your healing ability. It can be a self heal or one that affects your allies or similar. The Engineer class has an ability in slot 6 that switches your 1-5 abilities bandages and potions you can use on your self and allies. Engineer also has turrets and a flamethrower. It's pretty bad ass. Slots 7-9 are pulled from your list of class abilities that you unlock with skill points which you can gain by leveling up or completing challenges that are marked on the map in each zone. You have an extensive list to choose from but early on you only have slot 7 which you don't even unlock until level 5 I think. This is a lot like the first Guild Wars where you had to choose your whole action bar (10 skills I think?) before going into an action area. Skill 0 is elite skill or something like that, I am not sure what those are like or how and when to get them. Aside from all that, the game is ridiculously beautiful graphically and artistically.
This is from the opening cutscene, with one of the characters I made:
This is an in-game shot. The background behind the guy there is a big dam. You can walk to it and climb up it and fight things on it. Really screenshots don't really do this game justice because it looks flat, but when you move toward that the details come in pretty smoothly and it's really nice to see.
Just for laughs.
I should have taken video. I was pretty sure I'd taken more screenshots using the Steam overlay but I can't find where it would save those screenshots since it saves them by game ID under Steam\userdata. Oh well.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to this one. They haven't given a release date as of yet but pre-orders are open so I don't think it will be later than fourth quarter this year. That's a lot more words than I mean to write.

StarCraft II or League of Legends, in my opinion. I play a mix of the two.
About HoN and DotA 2 requiring more skill than LoL, this is true, but LoL is a lot more fun.

K, it looks like I'll be playing Diablo 3 until GW2 comes out, then I'll compare the 2 to see which one I want to play more.
If those both fail me, then I'll try moving back to SC2 or LoL.
I guess no one plays Minecraft anymore? We used to have a pretty active thread here. Maybe it was just a fad and after everyone built everything they wanted, they quit.
|14th May 2012, 06:09 PM
I still dabble in Minecraft, got a cousin of mine into it and he hosts a server.
Have you tried Trackmania? It's free but I think it's one of those that you either love or just don't get what's fun about it. Most of the multiplayer community is in Europe but its still active in the US. I got pretty good at it and have won some decent prizes playing in LAN tournaments. I'll be racing in another tourney coming up in August, so that's my motivation to keep playing.
I read the internet for the articles.

I play Minecraft on some modded servers, using the Tekkit launcher. It adds a whole lot of depth to the game, especially involving setting up automated systems and so on. On the server I'm on, a friend and I have set up a nuclear reactor, some rooms that generate matter for us to convert to other matter, and a bunch of cool machines. It's really quite fun, if you're into working with wiring and setting up weird systems. There are also a lot more ores (tin, silver, dark matter, tungsten, bronze, copper, uranium) and LOADS of new tools, weapons and other items.
If you want to try it out, get Tekkit launcher here http://www.technicpack.net/tekkit/
When you've got it set up, you just log in with your normal MC account. Before you log in, make sure you switch the package to "Tekkit" in the upper left corner. Normally it's set to "Technic" pack. You might also want to hit settings and up the RAM allocation to 1.5GB, that helps with some issues. You can join us on game.mcdaily.co.uk

I voted Minecraft. I only tried it recently but I find it quite relaxing.
Now, dedicating exclusively? Dunno about anyone here but I only have time to dedicate myself to one multiplayer game at a time as it is.

I've been also thinking of playing Dwarf fortress. If minecraft had a mode like that where you can eventually lose, or enemies attack your stuff, it would be nice.
As for the dedicating thing, that's why I made this thread. I've been switching around trying different games recently, but I'd rather just get in depth with a single game.

Each year, active members who have contributed to the pension plan in the two preceding years and all retirees receive a pension statement that provides information on the plan and their personal file. These statements are sent to the last known address. It is therefore important to inform the CCQ of any change of address by contacting the CCQ Customer Services.
Employees who wish to obtain a pension or a benefit upon Termination of Plan Membership must contact the CCQ Customer Services to apply for the benefit.
Note that benefits received from a pension plan like that of the construction industry pension plan may affect Employment Insurance benefits. Employees should contact Service Canada for more information.
As a plan member or retiree, you can notify the CCQ of your pension beneficiary(ies) by filling out the Beneficiary Designation and Revocation (Pension Plan Only) form.
In addition, as an insured individual, you can notify the CCQ of your life insurance beneficiary(ies) by filling out the Beneficiary Designation and Revocation (Life Insurance Only) form.
The CCQ Customer Services must be notified of the death of a member, a retiree, or a spouse in order to determine if a benefit is payable.
A life insurance benefit may be payable if an insured person or a dependent dies.
A person who disagrees with a CCQ decision about a pension benefit may contest it by using the Request for Review (in French only) form.
The number of hours worked credited in the pension plan is used to determine an insured's eligibility for certain types of coverage under the MÉDIC Construction insurance plan, such as disability coverage or post-retirement insurance.
In 2014, the maximum pensionable earnings (MPE) under the Act Respecting the Québec Pension Plan is $52,500; 20% of the MPE is thus $10,500. The MPE is normally indexed each year.
Amounts in the construction industry's pension fund are invested in different types of vehicles (such as Canadian, American and foreign equities, bonds, real estate). The years2001 and 2002 were very difficult for financial markets, which affected the pension plan. By late 2002, the pension fund had a major deficit.
Given this situation, measures were taken to correct the plan's financial situation.
One of the key modifications involved the structure of the pension plan. Since 2005:
Given these changes, the pension calculation is different for members who began contributing to the plan before 2005 and those who began contributing to the plan after 2004.
It is important to note that specific conditions, limitations, or exclusions may apply to the payment of certain benefits; only the Règlement sur les régimes complémentaires d'avantages sociaux dans l'industrie de la construction has legal standing. This regulation is amended regularly to comply with federal and provincial legislation. The provisions that apply are those in force at the time of each event.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11)-- Recordings have been released that give details into the case of a woman who allegedly attempted to hire an undercover FBI agent to kill her ex-husband.
Elizabeth Stakelbeck, 34, was arrested on August 20 after a seven day sting operation and is still being held at Metro Corrections on a $250,000 bond.
The recordings reveal that Stakelbeck was willing to pay cash, exchange prescription pills and even sex for the killing of her former husband and his current wife, according to police.
"We can barter," she said in the recordings.
Prosecutors said she continued to promote the killing, even after the undercover agent reminded her that a grim murder, such as this, is a very serious crime.
"This is forever. When I take care of him and I kill this man he ain't never coming back. That's a little girl's daddy," the undercover agent can be heard saying in the recordings.
Stakelbeck said she was in the midst of a custody battle.
She is the daughter of the owner of Z's Salon and Spa. Stakelbeck is due in court for a pre-trial conference on October 3.

Ahh, pregnancy. Isn't it grand? You're growing a beautiful little being inside of you. You're glowing. You're on the cusp of becoming a mother! Also, you're tired, nauseated, and achy as all get out. Fun times, right?
Since it's not always easy being our "best selves" during pregnancy -- physically, mentally, emotionally -- it's important to at least maintain our senses of humor, right? Or at least attempt to. Here are 7 hilarious maternity shirts bound to have you cracking up ... until the next time you feel like crying.
I have a shirt that says "I'm not fat, I'm knocked up." I had several people comment on the shirt, lol, even the elderly ladies love it.
I had one that said "I grow people - what's your super power?" I love it. :)
I have the "does this baby makes me look fat", and one that says "I make babies, what's your superpower?"
Ha! Love the "labor story free zone". One of my friends could have used that. She e-mailed me from work one day asking "Is there a polite way to make a sign to hang on the entrance to my cube telling women I don't have time to listen to their entire labor/delivery story? Every freaking person who's ever given birth has to stop by and tell their story, and it's literally starting to affect my ability to do my job!!!!"
These are all so funny. I have to convince one of my friends to get pregnant again so I have a reason to buy one.

JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind. (WHAS11) -- A delay Thursday in approving a tolling resolution for the Ohio River Bridges Project threatens to increase the cost of Kentucky's financing and toll rates, Kentucky's Transportation Secretary said.
Indiana representatives on two separate bridges project boards removed items on Thursday's agenda which were expected to include approval of targeted toll rates revealed in a Kentucky highway report last week.
"Delays in that process could create increases in interest rates for Kentucky's financing and could result in potentially higher toll rates," warned Secretary Mike Hancock of the
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.
The Indiana Department of Transportation officials said the delay does not signal disapproval of the tolling plan. Instead, INDOT and state financial workers simply ran out of time preparing all the legal documents with a condensed work week after the Labor Day holiday, explained Will Wingfield, an INDOT spokesman.
"We had difficulty getting everything together necessary," Wingfield said. "We don't to rush this important decision, so that what was sort of what came together today. We had a sort of a last minute change and couldn't get it done in time."
Hancock said Kentucky was surprised by the delay.
Saying Kentucky is trying to hit the bond market "just right," Finance Secretary Lori Flanery reiterated the commonwealth's concerns of how a delay may affect the project's cost.
"There's been a lot of movement in the market over the last nine months or so," Flanery explained. "And so, it's going to be very critical from our standpoint when we are doing our financing of our pieces of this one project that we have maximum flexibility. We're not hamstrung into a poor decision because of timing issues."
One vocal opponent of the new downtown bridge says the delay offers an opportunity, to reconsider whether the states can afford it in the first place, and make sure that any tolling plan is well-publicized and well-vetted before it's approved.
"From day one this entire bridge project has been a disaster," said Dan Borsch of
Say No to Bridge Tolls. "And this is just the end result of the entire process of releasing documents on Friday afternoon before Labor Day, of meetings that are canceled and agendas changed and it's just very difficult for the public to be informed and to participate in the process."
As Hancock spoke to reporters, Borsch pressed him on whether the public will have a chance to review the project's bond covenants before the Tolling Body votes.
"That's the contract that will actually govern what happens if you all have made a mistake,' Borsch said.
"We certainly would hope that anything that needs to be public is public prior to a vote," Hancock told WHAS11. "The question was a bit unfair because we haven't talked about it yet."
Though the project's public comment period on tolling ended in July, Barb Anderson of Jeffersonville interrupted the Tolling Body's adjournment vote in an effort to comment on the tolling plan.
"Who are you reaching out to to represent the poor and what are they saying and do they have all the information they need?" Anderson said later when asked about her comments.
"We're working hard, we have processes at work as we speak to make sure that impact is fully assessed and anything we can do to address it we are working to do that," Hancock said.
The three-tiered toll rates Indiana delayed Thursday appear to still be on target --
Cars (2-axle vehicles) per crossing
$1 frequency discount program
$2 with transponders,
$3 for cars with registered license plates
$4 for non-registered
Medium trucks per crossing
$2 with transponders,
$3 with registered license plates
$4 for non-registered
Heavy trucks per crossing
$10 with transponders,
$11 for cars with registered license plates
$12 for non-registered

Hawaii's Top Employers 2013: American Savings Bank
American Savings Bank branch managers.
American Savings Bank (ASB) has been voted one of Hawaii's Best Places to Work by its employees for four consecutive years. ASB's continued commitment to its employees has resulted in their solid dedication to their customers, their teammates and their communities and makes it the best place to bank!
What Matters Most:
Employee experience: Whether it's birthday holidays, casual dress code, weekly paydays, generous paid time off, tuition assistance, training classes, or simply having fun at work, ASB wants employees to know they matter by providing a flexible, enjoyable work environment with challenging, rewarding career opportunities.
Well-being: The ASB LifeBalance program empowers employees to improve their lives, providing seminars and classes on topics ranging from personal health and family matters to financial wellness, as well as onsite fitness classes, massages, cooking demonstrations, health fairs, gym memberships and team sports activities.
American Savings Bank executive team (left to right): Jon Whittington, Terence Yeh, Natalie Taniguchi, Rick Robel, Rich Wacker, Gabe Lee, Beth Whitehead, Tab Bowers, Margaret Pettyjohn.
Ideas: ASB believes a single idea is powerful enough to generate endless possibilities. That's why ASB listens to its employees and takes their opinions to heart. Whether it's through the online IdeaBank, Employee Excellence Council, open door policy or talk story sessions with executive management, employees have numerous venues to provide feedback, share ideas and work together.
Career development: ASB encourages employees at all levels to think like business owners and empowers them to be leaders. That's why ASB invests in employees' personal and professional growth and is vested in promoting from within. In addition to the tuition assistance program, ASB University offers training and educational opportunities – tools to move them along their desired career path while enhancing their leadership, technical and job skills.
Communities: For over 88 years, ASB employees have served Hawaii's communities with their hands and hearts. Through the Seeds of Service program, employees have volunteered over 12,500 hours of community service. They are helping clean up the environment, assisting people in need, and sprucing up local schools. ASB employees also donate their time and energy to supporting Hawaii's schools through the Bank for Education program. This program awards money to local schools and funds financial literacy programs. And in 2012, employees pledged significant portions of their paychecks through Kahiau, ASB's employee giving program, to support local community organizations.
Happiness: A positive work environment is the engine that drives ASB employees to work hard and play hard! Whether building volcanoes out of Legos, a weekend game of beach volleyball with teammates, participating in a company contest or celebrating success, having fun is very much a part of the ASB culture.
"At ASB, we believe that every teammate contributes to our being a great place to work," said Beth Whitehead, Chief Administrative Officer. "Our goal is for our teammates to look forward to coming to work each day, to be energized by our work environment and to provide our customers with the best service possible. After all," she added, "you spend most of your life at work – why not have fun and enjoy it?"

|These forever bouquets are SO beautiful!
Mothers Day PoemHere is the very sweet poem my children will recite at the Tea Party for their moms. I've included the motions that accompany it in parenthesis. Hopefully they all make sense! Before reciting the poem, the children will walk into the room and place their artwork face down on the floor in front of them. During the very last line, children will bend over to quickly pick up their "forever bouquets" and hold them out toward their mothers.
Mothers Day Poem
Dear Mom,
I will love you forever (children hug themselves)
and forever you will be
the most wonderful mother. (open arms like a rising sun)
You mean everything to me. (point to themselves with both thumbs)
I thought of buying you flowers (rub fingers together like you're holding money)
in the usual way, (hold arms out near shoulders - look bored)
but I knew you would prefer
a FOREVER bouquet. (reach down to pick up flower artwork)

Weather Service confirms tornado in McMinnville
Jun 14, 2013 | 1 Comment
By The Associated Press
It was indeed a tornado that damaged several buildings Thursday in the community of McMinnville, the National Weather Service has confirmed.
Nobody was hurt, but three commercial buildings, all of them used for storage, were damaged, McMinnville Fire Chief Rich Leipfert said. The porch roof on one nearby home also sustained minor damage, Leipfert said.
A two-person NWS storm survey team dispatched to the scene confirmed the damage was caused by a tornado.
The tornado's estimated top winds in the most damaged area ranged from 86 to 90 miles per hour, Weather Service meteorologist Treena Hartley said late Thursday night. That puts it in the EF1 storm category.
Elsewhere it was defined by the damage found as an EF0. That class of storm has winds from 65-85 mph, Hartley said.
Experts look at debris patterns to confirm whether a tornado is responsible for damage, meteorologist Miles Higa said. The survey team also reported some damaged trees near the buildings that were hit.
The McMinnville tornado hit at about 4:30 p.m., he said.
Funnel clouds reportedly were also seen Thursday afternoon in or near the communities of Hillsboro, Albany and Harrisburg, Higa said.
Tornadoes in Oregon are rare. The last notable twister struck Aumsville, east of Salem, in December 2010, according to a list on the National Weather Service website. The storm caused more than $1 million in damage to 50 homes and four businesses, but nobody was injured.

Guess it goes to show how strange the weather pattern around a tornado can be. I stopped within a block of that area, apparently just before it hit. I checked the call log on my cell phone and I had made a call at 4:17 and at 4:28 PM. The 4:28 call only lasted about 3 minutes, then I pulled back onto Lafayette Ave at Riverside Drive and headed out towards the Airport. Remember some very heavy rain, but it was coming almost straight down with little to no wind and only lasted a minute or so. Didn't see any funnel cloud or experience any heavy wind.
Guess I should have been watching the rearview mirror a little closer!

Douglas Laboratories DIM Enhanced with Curcumin, Green Tea and Wasabia - 60 Vegetarian Capsules
Douglas Laboratories DIM Enhanced with Curcumin, Green Tea and Wasabia is a microencapsulated form of diindolylmethane, with curcumin, green tea, and wasabia designed to support healthy hormone balance and immune health. Microencapsulated DIM by BioResponse is a patented, absorption-enhancing formulation to ensure proper assimilation by the body.
FunctionsDiindolylmethaneDuring the body's natural detoxification processes, potentially detrimental molecules such as hormone metabolites, alcohol, drugs and air pollutants are removed from the blood stream via the liver. Healthy hormone detoxification is a crucial part of the normal functioning of the immune system.
Diindolylmethane (DIM) is one molecule known for the supportive role it plays in stimulating natural detoxification enzymes and supporting normal hormone metabolism. As a natural component derived from indole-3-carbinole and cruciferous vegetables, DIM has shown in studies to support the 2-hydroxylation instead of 16-hydroxylation of certain estrogen metabolites. This favors the production of 2-hydroxysterone over the more deleterious 16-hydroxyestrone. Other studies indicate that diindolylmethane may play important roles in inducing apoptosis and supporting the body's normal angiogenic balance, especially in regards to healthy breast, cervical and prostate cells.
Microencapsulated DIM is the only diindolymethane with proven absorption and activity demonstrated in independently performed clinical studies. BioResponse DIM contains pure DIM, microencapsulated in particles complexed with a vitamin E derivative and phospholipids to aid absorption from our intestinal tract. The patented formulation process for making BioResponse DIM creates microparticles of DIM, emulsifies the DIM with vitamin E and phospholipids, and captures these complexes through a drying process in larger particles of pure food starch. The result is a sustained-release, dry powder which re-dissolves easily after oral consumption. The graph below shows greater absorption of microencapsulated DIM compared to fine crystalline DIM.
Green TeaScientists have identified numerous phytochemicals including polyphenols, methylxanthines, flavonoids, and triterpenoid saponins in green tea. The polyphenols contained in tea, specifically the catechins, appear to provide the primary health promoting benefits associated with green tea consumption. Catechin, epicatechin, epigallocatechin (EGC), and most notably EGCG, epigallocatechin gallate act as antioxidants and support immune function and liver detoxification. Additionally, in vitro, these nutrients have been shown to support healthy cell growth and division.
MERIVA CurcuminStudies have shown that curcumin, a naturally occurring biologically active group of compounds from Curcuma longa (turmeric), can function as efficient antioxidants and can help regulate the body's normal response to inflammatory processes. Curcumin can also play an important role in maintaining healthy angiogenic balance and help to support the body's detoxification processes. Since curcumin exhibits poor oral absorption in the body, Douglas Labs has chosen a highly bioavailable curcumin called MERIVA. Pharmacokinetic comparison studies have shown MERIVA to have up to a 20-fold improvement in bioavailability versus the standard 95% turmeric extracts due to proprietary PHYTOSOME technology which increases hydrolytic stability.
Wasabia JaponicaWasabia, a member of the cruciferous vegetable family, contains long chain isothiocyanates (ITCs). These ITCs are believed to be 10-25 times more potent in the detoxification process than most ITCs found in cruciferous vegetables. These long chain ITCs are unique to wasabia and are not commonly found in other cruciferous vegetables.

The Experiment
This post may make a bit more sense in light of my two prior posts: "Financial Realities of the App Store" and "App Store Pricing (It's not a free market!)"
With App Store shoppers seemingly hesitant to risk $5+ on a new app, I decided to do a pricing experiment. For a limited time, App Store shoppers were able to purchase any App Cubby app for $0.99. I asked that if they felt the app was worth more than the $0.99 they paid, they make a donation to fund future development.
During the 7 days of the experiment, we received $75 in donations, and sales volume shot up enough to make the 7 day experiment essentially revenue neutral compared to the prior 7 days. During the first few days of the sale I was starting to think the $0.99 price point might actually be sustainable given the increase in volume. The thing is, our apps got a TON of press from news about the "experiment." As the press attention waned, volume began to slide. It quickly became apparent that the $0.99 price point wasn't going to work long term. There was a bit of a bump at the end, but that's typical of anything that goes on sale; people rush to buy it just before the sale ends.
Mike Schramm in a post on TUAW said: "If someone can sell 100,000 copies of an app for a buck apiece (walking away with $70,000 after Apple's cut), why are the talented developers leaving? Surely you can make a quality app for less than $70,000, right?" Yes, quality apps can be developed for less than $70k (all three App Cubby apps together cost less than $70k to develop), but the real question is: how many apps actually sell 100k copies? The answer: very few.
People seem to think that there is unlimited demand for iPhone apps, but that's just not true. The time, attention, and discretionary income of iPhone and iPod Touch users ARE finite. They can only download and use so many apps in a single day. The published download numbers for the App Store are off the charts, but as I've pointed out before, those numbers are spread quite disproportionately among free apps and the top 50 paid apps. The harsh reality is that very few apps can "make it up on volume."
All over the web, on TV news, and even in print, there have been stories about people cashing in on the App Store gold rush, but very few developers have been willing to share sales stats for apps that have performed poorly or even moderately well. A bit of logic and some simple math reveals that only a few independent developers are making crazy money… some are making decent money… but most are making VERY LITTLE MONEY.
Here's a great example: Veiled Games' really cool Payday Roulette has sold only 8329 copies to date. The $0.99 price minus Apple's 30% comes to $5830 in net income. They don't reveal what it took to create the game, in terms of hard costs and/or time, but I doubt it proved worth their time to create (at least financially). It took their second app, Up There, getting featured by Apple to give the company any hope of financial viability (very similar to my own experience with App Cubby).
Great software can and will be made by enthusiasts who work nights and weekends in a labor of love, but the iPhone will never reach its full potential as a platform until there is some semblance of sanity in the App Store. Most of the talented developers I've spoken with recently are planning easy to develop, gimmicky apps that aren't much more than a roll of the dice. Here are a couple quotes from Duncan Wilcox that sum it up nicely: "I have a few really awesome iPhone app ideas (if I say so), but the current state of the appstore deters me from starting to design/code… you're either in the top100 or you're invisible; getting there is a gamble that has relatively little business sense"
So, I've been thinking an awful lot about what direction to head with App Cubby. Should I crank out a bunch of low cost apps and roll the dice? Should I spend precious resources updating existing apps, or just keep churning? Should I join the gimmick bandwagon and brainstorm the next iFart? Should I stop creating new App Cubby apps and focus on contract work? Should I get a day job and just squeeze every last dollar from my existing apps? Should I play the pricing game, putting my apps "on sale" every few weeks? Should I maximize short term sales and just sell the whole business? Those are just a few of the questions I've been asking myself over the last few weeks. Here's what I've decided:
Quite a few developers, myself included, have posited more than a few concrete steps Apple could take to improve the App Store, but since they don't seem so inclined, I'm going to do my best to find a sustainable strategy in the current iteration of the App Store. The thing is, I created App Cubby as a fan of the iPhone platform. My goal was to create great apps that people would enjoy and build a business that could provide for my family. If I manage to create the next big App Store hit, that would obviously be quite welcomed, but I'd like to do so with a meaningful application not a gimmick. I may never become an App Store millionaire, but I think I'll have more fun and be doing something more worthwhile.
This experiment has helped me realize that App Cubby apps are just niche products. Trying to turn a niche product into a volume leader is picking a losing fight with the market. The App Store is definitely slanted toward high volume apps and there will continue to be gimmicky apps that fly up the charts and make tons of money, but I'd rather build a sustainable business than try and win the App Store lottery. I've decided to embrace what I am; a developer of very high quality niche products. My strategy moving forward will be to charge a fair price for my apps and focus on delighting my customers with the best apps possible and the most responsive support and development.
To have people say that my products are an absolute steal at $0.99 and that I SHOULD be charging more was a wake up call. As the saying goes, if no one is complaining about your price you're charging too little. The thing is, the more I've thought about the App Store and my goals as a developer, I've realized that I would rather have small community of delighted customers than a gaggle of customers who don't value what I'm doing. Health Cubby helped me figure out that the people I built it for absolutely love it and are willing to pay a premium, but those who didn't even bother to read the description won't be happy no matter how many features I add. Rather than chasing my tail trying to build apps that please every iPhone user, it makes much more sense to focus on the people who get what I'm doing and delight them with just the right combination of features (ie. not every feature ever requested) and great user experience.
Here are the first three steps I'm taking in light of this new strategy:
1) Raise the price of all the App Cubby apps to $10
2) Release Lite versions of each app so that users can "try before they buy"
3) Release substantial updates to each app in the next 60 days (including online backup/sync to ease the Lite to Paid app transition)

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) -- Kentucky State Police say a commercial vehicle enforcement officer has shot an armed robbery suspect during a stop on Interstate 65.
The Kentucky State Police confirms that officer Jared Newberry with the Commercial Vehicle Enforcement division was the officer that fired his weapon in an attempt to arrest armed robbery suspect Aaron Hart.
A statement from police says officers were on the lookout for the suspect's vehicle after the Elizabethtown post received calls early Sunday about an armed robbery at the Pilot truck stop in Sonora.
The KSP officer spotted the vehicle around 2 a.m. and pulled it over. The statement says the suspect, 20-year-old Aaron Hart of Hodgenville, ignored commands to show his hands and exit the vehicle. Police say Newberry fired one shot after he saw Hart grab a gun.
Officer Newberry has been employed with the Kentucky State Police for 1-1/2 years, and is currently on leave pending a routine investigation.
Hart suffered non-life-threatening injuries. Police say he is charged with robbery, wanton endangerment, resisting arrest, and burglary.
