2015-06-06
this episode of Android Weekly is brought to you by domain.com now let's talk about the epic privacy battle between mother Google and Daddy Apple where Tim Cook said Google gobbles up everything they can learn about you and tries to monetize it we think that's wrong and it's not the kind of company Apple wants to be and then Eric Schmidt said someone didn't briefed him correctly on Google's policies we have always been the leader in security and encryption our systems are far more secure and encrypted than anyone else's including Apple they're catching up which is great but there is another contest of lesser titans but no less epic battle between me and Hindi and my weapon of choice fruit now let's dig a little deeper cook further states we believe the customer should be in control of their own information you might like these so-called free services but we don't think they're worth having if your email your search history and now even your family photos are mined and sold off for god knows what advertising purpose and we think someday customers will see this for what it is now Tim Cook is not lying but he is overstating the case a little bit and he begins to tug at the fear strings of every parent when he refers to Google mining your family photos it's a bit hypocritical because Apple does similar things on their own platform in Apple's own words they state when you create an Apple ID apply for a commercial credit purchase a product download a software update register for a class at an Apple Retail Store contact us or participate in an online survey we may collect a variety of information including your name mailing address phone number email address contact preferences and credit card information we also use personal information to help us create develop operate deliver and improve our products and services and content and advertising for loss prevention and anti-fraud purposes now although to be fair it's not apples core business but they are collecting data for much of the same purposes that mother Google does this Apple loves privacy and Google does not campaign is hypocritical just because the company processes your private information it doesn't mean they're doing anything nefarious with it and then there's the tremendous value that is being turn to users not only dozens of excellent free features but products that couldn't exist without access to your private data like Google now and automated tagging features on Google photos in fact Apple is rumored to be trying to emulate Google now with an initiative codenamed proactive which will leverage Sri contacts calendar passport and third-party apps to create a viable competitor for Google now on Android devices I feel compelled to point out the obvious here but these are too large powerful corporations with one sole purpose to make gobs of money and therefore would probably both sell your grandmother if they thought they could get a pretty penny for it so Hindi yeah the man who could law the virtues of the king of fruits during fruit through Lifehacker reaching millions of people yet not eat the fruit himself he hasn't responded to my challenge curious so I wanted to show him how it was done but first of all just to indicate just how repugnant this fruit is here's my family trying to eat the fruit hmm Oh mm hose it hope all I didn't Iike mm-hmm Andy this is for you Oh God that's what it takes your turn maybe I have to take this to another level and actually use the domain name make a website for don't be cute eat the fruit dot-com why because no domain name extension tells your story with the same level of trust as a.com or.net domain name dot-com and dotnet domain name extensions and djaq credibility into your online presence and who doesn't want more credibility you can save 15% on domain name and web hosting when you use our coupon code Android at domain.com check out don't forget 15% off when you use our coupon code Android when you think domain names think domain.com thanks for watching android army my name is Jase love to connect with you right here on Google+ or Twitter you don't to forget about my bread Minh my brothers and Android who are trying to be your source for all things Android and if you want to help me get to Hindi don't forget hash tag don't be cute eat the fruit I just want to point out that this stench has so permeated the entire house the dog is hiding
