This is a very valid issue, and a fairly common one: huge change in personal and professional circumstances, new phase in life too. You're very lucky both environments are very positive, you're not hurting for love/companions

Except Apple clearly owns its users, not the other way around. They get money from you for everything you do with their devices (music, vids, books, ads, even purchases of anything now), AND get money from the sellers to let them just tal

Not sure what any of this has to do with web 2.0. Bad UI is bad UI. Could be web 2.0, could be an app, could be web 3. Have you seriously not heard about using different browsers for different accounts on the same site ? Many Androids will

Ma family is from very sunny French Provence, and my brother married a girl from very not sunny Bretagne. The definition of "sunny" and "rainy" is.. up in the air. Examples: - is a sunny day a day during which you see th

Cars last 18 years now ? And their batteries ?
