[1312.00 --> 1315.00] I think the potential to exploit it is definitely there.
[1315.00 --> 1326.00] I think that kids today need to learn to put pins on their phones, um, that their friends don't know, because the phone is more and more and more tied into so many things you can do.
[1326.00 --> 1327.00] Everything.
[1327.00 --> 1332.00] Even Apple's way of validating Apple Pay with Touch ID, I believe you can also enter a pin.
[1332.00 --> 1340.00] So if someone knows the pin of your phone, all of a sudden they can buy things, which is a whole other ball of wax compared to they can, like, text your friends and be like,
[1340.00 --> 1342.00] whoa, I'm ugly.
[1342.00 --> 1344.00] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[1344.00 --> 1345.00] Yeah, phone pranking is-
[1345.00 --> 1348.00] Post on Facebook, I hacked your Facebook!
[1348.00 --> 1349.00] Yeah.
[1349.00 --> 1350.00] No.
[1350.00 --> 1351.00] Not so much.
[1351.00 --> 1354.00] Alright, so, court rules.
[1354.00 --> 1356.00] This is posted by TechDreamer on the forum.
[1356.00 --> 1357.00] Court rules!
[1357.00 --> 1358.00] Yeah, court rules.
[1358.00 --> 1359.00] Yeah.
[1359.00 --> 1360.00] If I fought that, then I would be alone.
[1360.00 --> 1361.00] Exactly.
[1361.00 --> 1362.00] Me and lawyers.
[1362.00 --> 1370.00] So this was from, this is from Engadget.com, and of course, I don't have an HTTP on that one.
[1370.00 --> 1371.00] Boom!
[1371.00 --> 1372.00] Engadget.com.
[1372.00 --> 1373.00] There you go.
[1373.00 --> 1391.00] Um, originally posted by TechDreamer, and, uh, US court had, in San Francisco has ruled that due to the First Amendment, so this is freedom of speech predominantly, Google can arrange and rearrange search results any way it wants.
[1391.00 --> 1407.00] So this is, um, this is from a complaint from a, they figured they were a competitor of one of Google's services that Google was intentionally downranking them in Google search results in order to drive more exposure to their own services.
[1407.00 --> 1417.00] And basically, this ruling, it doesn't, it doesn't rule out Google being attacked for this in other regions or by other, by other companies.
[1417.00 --> 1418.00] Yeah.
[1418.00 --> 1426.00] But what it does do is it sets a precedent that Google can now point to and say, well, hey, it was already ruled that we're allowed to arrange our search results however we want, so...
[1427.00 --> 1428.00] Yeah.
[1429.00 --> 1431.00] That's how, like, referencing different court trials and works.
[1431.00 --> 1432.00] Enjoy that.
[1432.00 --> 1434.00] It'd be like, Google versus whoever.
[1434.00 --> 1437.00] Um, I just, honestly, I...
[1437.00 --> 1438.00] They were already doing it anyway.
[1438.00 --> 1439.00] Yeah.
[1439.00 --> 1442.00] Even, whether it was legal or not, they were already doing it, and they were gonna do it forever.
[1442.00 --> 1447.00] I mean, it is, it is no great secret that when Google, like, it's not a good idea.
[1447.00 --> 1454.00] That when Google launches some new service that everyone hates, like Google Plus, that all of a sudden it's everywhere.
[1454.00 --> 1455.00] Yeah.
[1455.00 --> 1456.00] Duh.
[1456.00 --> 1457.00] I don't know.
[1457.00 --> 1459.00] I don't think it's that big of a deal.
[1459.00 --> 1464.00] Um, I think it sounds a little bit scary, but I don't think it's actually going to be.
[1464.00 --> 1468.00] They can't abuse it any worse than they already are, really.
[1468.00 --> 1469.00] Yeah.
[1469.00 --> 1471.00] Because if they do, people will stop Googling things.
[1471.00 --> 1475.00] When Bing, the second, there's no loyalty to a search engine.
[1475.00 --> 1477.00] In particular, the search engine.
[1477.00 --> 1481.00] Things like their, their applications, like their calendar or their email.
[1481.00 --> 1491.00] There's, there's some loyalty there because they've managed to drive us as a business to give them a monthly payment in order to use these services because of how well integrated they are.
[1491.00 --> 1498.00] But for, especially something like using a search engine, which is what this complaint is about, there is no loyalty.
[1498.00 --> 1503.00] If Bing starts returning better search results for me, I will switch tomorrow.
[1503.00 --> 1504.00] I'd love to use Bing.
[1504.00 --> 1505.00] It's just useless.
[1505.00 --> 1512.00] I switched from AltaVista to Google that quickly because AltaVista stopped working and Google started doing better.
[1512.00 --> 1514.00] Same thing with dog pile.
[1514.00 --> 1521.00] Like, those of you who are, who've been using the internet long enough to remember the pre-Google days, there are other search engines.
[1521.00 --> 1523.00] It's just that they suck.
[1523.00 --> 1530.00] So if Google degrades the quality of their results by prioritizing their own crap aggressively enough, we'll just stop using it.
[1530.00 --> 1532.00] And they'll lose their primary source of income.
[1532.00 --> 1533.00] So it's not going to happen.
[1533.00 --> 1536.00] I know ask.com is still a thing, but like, not really.
[1536.00 --> 1538.00] And I remember Ask Jeeves being huge.
[1538.00 --> 1540.00] Yeah, Ask Jeeves was huge.
[1540.00 --> 1541.00] Yeah.
[1541.00 --> 1546.00] I think I went, uh, AltaVista, Ask Jeeves, Google, actually, I think was, was what I used.
[1546.00 --> 1548.00] AltaVista used to be awesome.
[1548.00 --> 1550.00] You could find everything there.
[1550.00 --> 1552.00] And then it just went to complete garbage.
[1552.00 --> 1555.00] You know, it is, it is amazing how bad Bing is.
[1555.00 --> 1556.00] I know.
[1556.00 --> 1560.00] Every time I install a new Windows OS, I think I've told this story before.
[1560.00 --> 1567.00] Every time I install a new Windows OS, I have to use IE until I'm not lazy and I install some other browser.
[1567.00 --> 1573.00] So I'll use IE and the default search engine will be Bing because I'm not going to go through all those other steps to manually change my search engine.
[1573.00 --> 1576.00] And then it's kind of a pain to add it, so I'm lazy.
[1576.00 --> 1579.00] Um, and I will use Bing until it infuriates me.
[1579.00 --> 1582.00] And it's usually gone within three searches.
[1582.00 --> 1584.00] Because it doesn't find anything useful.
[1584.00 --> 1585.00] It doesn't find it, yeah.
[1585.00 --> 1586.00] I don't know.
[1586.00 --> 1592.00] And like, you search the exact name of a product and it will find you everything else it possibly can.
[1592.00 --> 1593.00] Yeah.
[1593.00 --> 1596.00] And then you put that name in Google and the first result is the product page from that company.
[1596.00 --> 1597.00] From the manufacturer.
[1597.00 --> 1598.00] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[1598.00 --> 1599.00] It's like, what am I looking for?
[1599.00 --> 1605.00] Like some obscure reference to like, it's coming out in six months from some message board from six months ago.
[1605.00 --> 1607.00] No, I want to look at it.
[1607.00 --> 1608.00] Um, New York.
[1608.00 --> 1609.00] This is the coolest thing ever.
[1609.00 --> 1610.00] What?
[1610.00 --> 1611.00] Oh, yes.
[1611.00 --> 1612.00] This is awesome.
[1612.00 --> 1613.00] New York City to replace public.
[1613.00 --> 1616.00] This was posted by the Uncon, whatever, something.
[1616.00 --> 1619.00] Um, so the original articles are from absolutely everywhere.
[1619.00 --> 1622.00] Uh, so the Verge has got an article about this.
[1622.00 --> 1623.00] The Unconnected.
[1623.00 --> 1626.00] Uh, TechCrunch, Ars Technica, Business Insider.
