Quote Of The Day
“It is impossible for someone to lie unless he thinks he knows the truth. Producing bullshit requires no such conviction. A person who lies is thereby responding to the truth, and he is to that extent respectful of it. When an honest man speaks, he says only what he believes to be true; and for the liar, it is correspondingly indispensable that he considers his statements to be false. For the bullshitter, however, all these bets are off: he is neither on the side of the true nor on the side of the false. His eye is not on the facts at all, as the eyes of the honest man and of the liar are, except insofar as they may pertain to his interest in getting away with what he says. He does not care whether the things he says describe reality correctly. He just picks them out, or makes them up, to suit his purpose.”
— Harry Frankfurt (On Bullshit, pp. 55-56)

Government App Development Cost
Building an online social security system — something that lets citizens check benefits, manage accounts, apply for services, or receive statements — is significantly more involved than a typical consumer app because it must handle sensitive personal data, integrate with backend government databases, and meet strict security and compliance standards.
Here’s a realistic view of what such a system might cost in the U.S. context (in USD), based on industry benchmarks for government service apps and secure digital platforms: (apptunix)
💰 Typical Cost Ranges for a Social Security-Type Online System
🧩 1. Basic Digital Service Portal
- Core features: secure login, view benefit info, simple forms, status tracking.
- Platforms: web portal and basic mobile app (iOS/Android).
💰 $100,000 – $250,000
This includes secure user authentication, database integration, and a user dashboard. (apptunix)
🛡️ 2. Medium-Complexity System
- Adds: multi-factor authentication, document upload, notifications, API integration with legacy social security databases.
💰 $250,000 – $500,000
Systems that talk to existing government backends and have moderate automation live in this range. (apptunix)
🚨 3. Enterprise-Grade, Highly Secure Platform
- Enterprise features: advanced encryption, biometric login, compliance with federal security standards (FISMA, NIST), accessibility compliance, real-time data syncing.
- High scalability for millions of users.
💰 $500,000 – $1,000,000+
Large government services platforms or national social security systems can easily exceed this, especially when they need independent security audits or continuous monitoring. (apptunix)
Jet iPod commercial
Susan Alinsangan, Art Director at TBWA\Chiat\Day came up with the design of the iPod silhouette commercials in 2003. She worked on the print campaign with artist Casey Leveque of Santa Monica’s Rocket Studio. This is one of the first iPod commercial to feature the silhouetted dancers against brightly-colored backgrounds. This ad also introduced an iPod that was made for both Mac and Windows users.
