Gigawhat: Episode 7 – The World According to Google

It’s a Googolplex of Google stories (okay, maybe not THAT many). Still Google makes several of the headlines for the week with a Gmail update, Android apps, smartphones, mini-tablets, and of course, the net neutrality argument.

What is net neutrality? Iyaz and I break it down and talk about why Google has suddenly become considered (by some) as “evil.”

Speaking of evil, we also provide details to protecting against evil exploit attacks and phone hackings. What do you need to do? Find out in this week’s episode!
