From the head via the fingers

Being on a journey of discovery is the name of the game. Building a killer platform, experience, or whatever one might wish to call them is not the aim. The aim, as some may see it, is a little more mundane, but nevertheless important. The aim is integration, integration of multiple platforms (some people can and do build them) via the APIs (most) modern systems provide.
Below are the results of these journeys, primarily for House of Cloth, however future works may sprout from these.

  1. An app is complete set of functionality like a game
  2. A program is a piece of or whole of an app
  3. Programs are written with software
  4. Software is written with scripts or any one or more of various programming languages (please see my answer here: Jack Menendez's answer to In layman's terms, what are the major programming languages, and what are they used for?)
  5. A process is an isolated instance of a program running in a computer.

From: What is the difference between a program, an app, a software, a script, and a process? on Quora, question by Luca Dorigo, answer by Jack Menendez.

While browsing the App Store, I noticed something I find a little odd, and a little annoying.

If one browses the images (screenshots) of an App[lication], the “Done” button to close and return to the app[lication] info is at the top right of screen.
