this episode of android authority is brought to you by full sail university yes as you've probably heard google has announced an emergency security update for all Nexus devices but don't worry it's not quite as bad as it sounds Google's just announced that they are releasing a mid-month security patch due to the discovery of an exploit that could potentially bring harm to some devices namely the Nexus 5 and the Nexus 6 the issue arose after Google found out about a routing application using a unpatched local elevation of privilege vulnerability in the kernel now what that means is that there is a malicious application that could have power to affect the code within the software and the only way to fix the handset then would be to reflash the whole operating system massive pain in the button google does protect you from such apps in the Google Play Store and even uses verify apps to keep external threats away the only way to have been affected is if you were convinced to manually install the routing app in Google's own words they say this this advisory applies to all unpatched Android devices on kernel versions 3.43 point 10 and 3 point 14 including all Nexus devices Android devices using Linux kernel version 3.8 een or higher are not vulnerable now for those of you looking for news on the HTC 10 it's all becoming a little bit clearer these details come courtesy of evleaks the source that revealed many of the other specs that surfaced around the HTC flagship including its commercial name the HTC 10 according to evleaks the 10 will feature a super LCD 5 panel the leaker didn't confirm the screen dimensions but we know from an old report that we should expect a 5.1 5 inch quad HD panel a slight increase over the 5 inch panel of the m9 super LCD is a marketing term used by HTC to denote a display where the liquid crystal layer is laminated to the utter glass which reduces glare improves clarity and makes the panel thinner the one m9 features a super lcd3 display but it's not clear what improvements a super LCD 5 will bring to the HTC 10 as for the battery we're looking at a small increase in capacity over the two thousand eight hundred and forty million power battery unit inside the One m9 to recap we expect the HTC tender feature at 5.15 inch quad HD display at Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor and an Adreno 530 GPU four gigabytes of RAM and USB type-c HTC will allegedly have the quote world's first world class camera on front and back we look forward to seeing that knows everyone knows mother Google makes billions and billions of dollars every quarter but it looks like trouble is ahead new figures released by statistic is to google the search giant officially earned one third of all digital advertising revenue globally in 2015 that's 33.3 on the nose want to know how much money that actually is a cool sixty seven billion dollars but beneath the shiny surface the facts tell a slightly different story looking at the data released by statistic an see that Google's online advertising revenue is growing at an increasingly slower rate up 16.9 percent in 2013-14 percent in 2014 and only eleven percent in 2015 given its current rate of decline Google's revenue growth will flat line with in just four years while the revenue graph still looks pretty great Google's slice of the global market is also on the slide so who else is making money hand over fist and are they doing better than Google well Facebook is one good example while Facebook isn't making anywhere near the same amount of money as Google the social platform is enjoying fantastic growth with four times the revenue in 2015 as it made in 2014 compared growth to growth Facebook's advertising revenue grew thirty-eight percent in 2013 thirty-nine percent in 2014 and thirty-two percent in 2015 that's three times the rate of growth Google enjoyed last year now you long-term viewers will know that I've interviewed scores of web developers also people from hacker schools and one of the biggest indications of success is having a portfolio that can demonstrate your worth and your skill set and our sponsor Full Sail University can help you build just that the software development undergraduate program can teach you how to create your own programs and applications the web design and development undergraduate program can help you build your own digital portfolio of web production to learn more about full sales web and Technology programs visit Full Sail edu /i Authority
