I'm curious what kind of boost you see just from posting these Developer Income Reports. Is this a Schrodinger's Income Report kind of thing where posting about the experiment affects the outcome of the experiment?

It gives me a lot of feedback and help from community and increases my revenue from other sources (ads).
I think you mean Heisenberg. Schrodinger is the guy with the cats.
Though that's not actually what Heisenberg's uncertainty principle says either. It's really the observer effect http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observer_effect_(physics)
Reports of these kind give developers like us to continue working and at the same time analyze how in this very competitive market can sustain.
