There is an old Albanian movie called 14 vjeç dhëndër (14 years old groom) which shows also the privacy keeping problems they had in small villages. There are some secrets that everyone, even in a family, keeps. People can't know if you d

In the eyes of a lot of non tech-savvy people (like my parents, or lots of facebook users), Zuckenberg (or the guy who invented Facebook) is more known than Jobs (the guy who [co-]invented Apple). Despite how those actions weight.

Adding to the others. You should understand the difference between Web design and UI/UX design: it's like Monet/van Gogh versus Da Vinci. In UIs you're crafting like an "engineer", while with general website design (eg. most of the cases do

Actually parents could buy the app, because it seems interesting; and then forget it and leave it there to run for years. I mean from a marketing standpoint you can sell it, and sell lots of it, but if you educate your users by saying that
