Blake Ross, a founding member of the Mozilla project and former Facebook employee is not a new face in Silicon Valley. Like popular Tv star, Miley Cyrus, who went through adolescence right before us, Ross has been working in Silicon Valley since he was 14 years old.

He quipped about how he told a clerk he worked at Facebook and she retorted, “what do you mean? I thought it was a website.”
