I never understood why people on Linux always fight to have games on the platform. From the dev perspective, Linux is probably a sub 5% market share so it's never worth the effort compared to releasing new features/content.
Why fight this losing trend when you could easily dual boot or even have a dedicated gaming rig?
The problem is, the example pictures aren't that great.
The first one lacks details in the darker areas, something a high ISO, fast lens DSLR setup would have no problem with.
The second one is a standard macro shot but with a DSLR and a good lens, you'd get way more of a bokeh effect then what's seen.
The third is crooked, probably a result of holding the phone arms length away.
The fourth is really dark, because controlling exposure on a phone isn't that flexible.
The tips you give are the basics for any beginner photographer. I agree, people should not be walking around with DSLRs on auto setting; it's a complete waste.
But for those who do know a bit more about photography, a DSLR is magnitudes more flexible and efficient than a phone. Putting it on priority, adjusting ISO, f-stop, shutter speed, white balance, all of those things I use constantly with my DSLR.
Taking "nice" photos can be done with just about any camera nowadays. The really great, breathtaking shots are almost always taken with DSLRs (or medium format and larger).

But when you break it down, it looks like a pretty good deal.
Revenue multiple: Based on the reported figure of $250,000/day = $91.25M/year. At a purchase of $210M, this represents a multiple of 2.2x, far below the price/sales multiple of Zynga and Glu Mobile, two publicly traded companies on the US exchange. Sure, OMGPOP probably won't be hitting $250,000/day for the entire year but even at a 50% discount, you're in the same range as Glu.
DAU cost: Assume CPI of $1.50, install/DAU conversion rate of 10%. This equates to a DAU cost of ~$15. It's safe to say that OMGPOP has >10M DAU, which means ZNGA bought the company at <$20/DAU. Additionally, the above CPI and install/DAU conversion rate are quite low. I've been hearing that OMGPOP is seeing 1-day retention rates of 50-75% which is amazingly high. This means that with continued growth and similar retention rates, ZNGA got a pretty good deal in terms of DAU acquisition cost.
The main advantage for Zynga is that they can leverage OMGPOP's DAU and cross-promote their existing titles. And with their experience in monetizing titles, it's safe to assume that ARPU will increase.
