Apple's Apps a $2.5 Billion Business?
The iPhone App Store is, without a doubt, the most successful app market for any smartphone. They've got thousands and thousands of different apps, and hundreds of millions of app downloads. It's not surprising to hear that the App Store is making a lot of money for Apple. What is surprising, is just how profitable the App Store really is.
MacRumors.com reports on a Mobile Metrics report from AdMob that estimates App Store annual revenue at almost $2.5 billion per year. That becomes even more impressive when compared to the Android Market's $60 million/year estimated sales. If these numbers are accurate, than the App Store becomes a much more significant part of Apple's annual revenue than previously thought.

The Pirate Bay's New Business Model
Back when the news first broke that The Pirate Bay had been sold to the Swedish-owned Gaming Factory we wondered just how they intended to make TPB profitable. The whole reason that the Bay routinely sees tens of millions of views every day is because it is the largest torrent site on the Internet. Next to no one visits that website when they aren't looking to steal media.
Now the Gaming Factory has disclosed their business plan. They're going to turn the Bay into a paid subscription site and use the revenue from those subscriptions to pay content providers. Users will be able to subsidize their fee by dedicating certain portions of their computing power to the Bay. As Gaming Factory describes it,

Google Voice: Now For Small Businesses
Invites have only been out for a few short days, and already Google Voice has an add-on. Google Voice is a service that consolidates all of your phone numbers (including Skype) together under one number. It's free (you'll have to wait a long while for invites though) and you can even pick vanity numbers.
That's an especially attractive proposition for small businesses, as it would allow them to have a custom number for their company that links multiple cell, in-office, or sky numbers together. Unfortunately, Google Voice currently lacks any ability to allow you to differentiate between which number which call goes to. This would be a major limiting factor for the service, if the good people at On-State hadn't stepped in.
