Show Notes (sorry Kelly is soooo loud!!)

Big Friday night show!
Jon admits to not knowing if pigs actually speak Latin or not
Kelly is loving her new studio

She even has guest artists visiting!

07:00 - Jon's talks us through the difference between iOS and Android malware and security

Sidebar about the state of Blackberry
Jon takes us down mobile memory lane

Danger HipTop/Sidekick in the early 2000's
Palm Pilots (Treo)
Early phones had no apps. You were caught in the "walled garden"

Google makes Android operating system and the apps are from the Google Play Store
Apple makes iOS operating system and the apps are from the Apple App Store
Jon speaks Pig Latin Pig Latin!!!
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The perfect storm is Google's poor curating of the the Play Store combined with woefully outdated Android devices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. That's it. Just Santa
Jon apparently has no clue what the 1920's home life looked like

52:00 - Very brief Cooperstown news

OK, a note about health care
