I see this just about every day on our forums where people, when comparing a 6 megapixel camera to a 8 megapixel camera, that the 8 megapixel camera is the one to go with. A great analogy for the whole progression of the ever-increasing megapixels is the computer processor industry. For a while, it was generally accepted that a faster (faster clock speed) processor meant a faster computer. Then, as different architectures were introduced, a processor could achieve the same, if not better performance, at a slower clock speed. Also, processor speed has progressed more quickly than what computer applications need, so we now have processors that are much faster than what most people use them for.

App development arena is becoming more and more competitive with every passing day. There are hundreds of thousands of app developers working across the globe, some making tons of money while others just keep it as much as to cover their expenses. According to a new survey, 55 percent of app developers earn around $1,000 a month with just a minor 4 percent racking up around $100,000 a month. Things are still a little better for those developers residing in North America. The survey suggests the developers on average earn $9,400 a month despite the fact that 49% of developers are still earning less than $1,000. As for those residing in the Asia-Pacific region, 61 percent of them still earn $1,000 at most.

On the other hand, Android developers make the least money, that is, $4,900 a mon...
