Android Not Secure Enough for Netflix
Late last Friday, one of Netflix's product managers confirmed what many have suspected for a long time: Android isn't secure enough for the movie studios. Instead, Netflix will work directly with individual hardware makers to build Netflix apps for certain devices, a move that would rupture the already shaky notion that Android is a single platform.

Re: Android Not Secure Enough for Netflix
thanks for the tip buddy. I sortof covered most of that in the article I wrote the other day about Netflix coming to Android. I'll see if there are some things I may add.

Re: Android Not Secure Enough for Netflix
This begs a question about the overall security of the data used in emails, contacts and other data stored on the Google servers.

Since M$ seems to have the Netflix security taken care, it's time for direct Outlook sync to take away the only security question I have regarding WP.

I had a very strange incident with my G-Mail account last month where four blank messages came in. Nothing strange since.

Microsoft is pushing this "cloud" paradigm, so most syncing will be through their servers.

Re: Android Not Secure Enough for Netflix
I think by security they mean movies being stolen and DRM and stuff...netflix could care less about the security of the os..
