YouTube or Google Drive for video? (Google Enterprise video)

When do we use YouTube or Google Drive for video? -
YouTube or Google Drive for video? -- from Google Enterprise (Published on Jul 8, 2014): "We have two great options at Google when it comes to posting and making videos available to our customers, employees, and partners. So, how do you choose what you use? We look at three things: 1. Who is the target audience? 2. What do we need to learn? 3. Do we want people to share? Resources for working with YouTube and Google Drive video:

Facebook kills 'Lecpetex' botnet that turned 250k PCs into Litecoin-mining zombies | PCWorld: "...Those behind Lecpetex launched at least 20 spam campaigns between December 2013 and last month, affecting Facebook and other online services. Some of the victims received private messages containing a “.zip” attachment containing a Java JAR file or Visual Basic script. Those files, if executed, would then retrieve other malware modules stored on remote sites. The modules were either DarkComet, a widely used remote access tool that can harvest login credentials, or variants of software that mines the virtual currency Litecoin, the team wrote. By frequently refreshing and changing the malicious attachments, Lecpetex defeated Facebook’s filters designed to stop such malware from being distributed. The malware would also automatically update itself to evade antivirus products...."

Amazon Smartphone To Disappoint? (video); Cable Companies Fake Support

Can an Amazon Smartphone Compete With the iPhone?: Video - Bloomberg:
(Allow video to load after clicking play)
Amazon.com is planning to introduce a smartphone later this month, according to a person with knowledge of the matter, plunging the world’s largest online retailer deeper into the competitive mobile-device market. Zeb Eckert reports on Bloomberg Television's "First Up." (Source: Bloomberg-June5th)

Amazon's Smartphone Likely To Disappoint Consumers And Shareholders - Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) | Seeking Alpha: "... an Amazon (AMZN) smartphone appears to be ready for release into a very crowded market. While a low-cost, high-end smartphone could certainly increase Amazon's revenue, it seems likely to do little for the company's profitability. Poor value for customers Amazon's heavily customized variant of Android does not adhere to Google's requirements, and as such, is denied access to Google apps and services. This has resulted in Amazon's Android tablets not being able to access the Google Play Store, nor are they allowed to access many essential Google services such as Google Maps. Even worse, key Google APIs, the interfaces programmers use to make apps compatible with Google's services, are not accessible on Amazon Android devices, meaning developers cannot easily port their devices to Amazon's version of Android if they utilize Google's services...."


Cable Companies Are Astroturfing Fake Consumer Support to End Net Neutrality | VICE United States: "....To the surprise of probably no one, ISPs are enraged at the prospect of being classified as a utility and are fighting back. But the attacks are not fully transparent. Many of the organizations protesting a move toward classifying ISPs as a utility, which is the only likely option for enacting net neutrality, are funded by the ISP lobby.... A disclosure obtained by VICE from the National Cable and Telecom Association (NCTA), a trade group for ISPs, shows that the bulk of Broadband for America's recent $3.5 million budget is funded through a $2 million donation from NCTA. Last month, Broadband for America wrote a letter to the FCC bluntly demanding that the agency “categorically reject” any effort toward designating broadband as a public utility. It wasn't signed by any internet consumer advocates, as the Sununu-Ford letter suggests. The signatures on the letter reads like a who's who of ISP industry presidents and CEOs, including AT&T's Randall Stephenson, Cox Communications' Patrick Esser, NCTA president (and former FCC commissioner) Michael Powell, Verizon's Lowell McAdam, and Comcast's Brian Roberts...."
