This week is a look at some things you may or may not have bumped into on the Internet. What do you know about apps and how much do you spend on them? Has Google wished you a happy birthday? When did you and social media first become friends.

Have you ever developed an app for a mobile phone?

We love that this 12-year-old kid is doing it. The best part might be how he got his start. That said, don’t give up hope if you aren’t 12 and have a million-dollar app idea. There’s a tutorial for everything… and we design apps here at Pro Litho.

Would you find it creepy if Google wished you a happy birthday with a special doodle?

This was the subject of much discussion —some know that they’ve shared birthday info with Google. But, what if you haven’t? Either way, Google is thinking of you on your special day.

Lollapalooza’s over, Sturgis is happening now. Burning Man, Renaissance Fest, MN State Fair, and more. Where will we see you?

You could surf and hear music in Cornwall or see a goat crowned king in County Kerry, Ireland. Or, there is always Minnesota’s annual fair-stravaganza — one new food is mini donut ice cream by Izzy’s.



An invitation: You can let us know your viewpoint — here, on Facebook, or on Twitter — Monday through Thursday, we pose questions ranging from lighter fare to industry-focused topics. Every Friday we look back at the week and dig a little deeper. If you are on Twitter, we are @ProLitho —  please follow us, and join the discussion about this week’s #4Qs. We’d also love to have you check us out at Facebook and LinkedIn.
