Android devices have poor update penetration 1 year old Android "Nougat" is only installed on 14% of Android devices Kelly drops an F-bomb! iOS 11 is 40% and up The perfect storm is Google's poor curating of the the Play Store combined with woefully outdated Android devices A mad brawl about NFC and Apple Pay ensues! Jon thinks Apple Pay is more secure than just a card Kelly vehemently disagrees. Encryption works - The FBI has 7,000 phones they can't get into A fake WhatsApp app stayed in the Google Play store long enough for millions of people to download it The Apple App Store is not invulnerable. It's had its share of bad malware outbreaks, too 37:30 - Kelly's corner Kelly explains the origins of Black Friday Some of the predominant theories about the origin are...ahem...bull crap The name is tied mostly to the number of people who call in sick on those days The first Santa Clause parade in 1905 by Eaton's literally had Santa.
