Rovio
On our way to downloading "Angry Birds" a half a billion times, humanity has sent a whole lot of furious fowl into battle.

Rovio Mobile ??the company that hatched the enormously addictive fowl-flinging game "Angry Birds" ??has released some interesting statistics about its feathered friend today.
The most important of them might be the fact that the game ??now available on just about every mobile platform (and more) ??has been downloaded 500 million times. That's half a biiiiiilllion downloads, in case you weren't counting.
Rovio claims this means "Angry Birds" is "one of the most downloaded games in the history of gaming" ... and so far no one seems ready to dispute that claim.
But Rovio also dropped a few more colorful eggs ... I mean stats ... on fans and naysayers alike.
For starters, all together we've played 266 billion levels of "Angry Birds" and launched some 400 billion birds against their pig enemies. Meanwhile, "Angry Birds" players have collectively spent some 200,000 years playing the game, with 300 million minutes of the game played every day.
Uhm, anyone feeling guilty about how much time they spend on this pointless Bacon vs Egg war?
No, I didn't think so.
