Google Play Music is too Cheap in the App Stores - http://clapway.com/2015/12/23/google-play-music-is-too-cheap-in-the-app-stores/

With the holiday season nearing its end, deals like this probably will not be seen for a while. The newest deal this season is Google offering a huge discount on their Google Play Music app. This app can be downloaded from the App Stores, but now it can be downloaded for a very cheap price. Google is offering customers to download Google Play Music with a three-month subscription for just one dollar!

WHAT IS GOOGLE PLAY MUSIC?

Google Play Music is the company’s version of their online music streaming service. Users have access to what is called an online music locker. Basically, this allows users to store all of their favorite songs and listen to them for free, but the app itself is not free. Google offers up to 50,000 songs for their streaming service. Not only that but if the internet is not accessible for users, they can download their songs through their mobile app. This will allow them to listen to their music without being online.

GOOGLE PLAY NOW ONLY A DOLLAR IN THE APP STORES

As mentioned earlier, Google is now allowing users to download this service, in the App Stores, with a three-month subscription for only one dollar. However, if you already have Google Play Music, this deal will not mean much to you. This deal is to cater to the users who are currently not subscribed to this streaming service. This is a strong way for the company to attract new users to their service.

ANDROID TALKS ABOUT THE GOOGLE PLAY DEAL IN THE APP STORES

Android has a website where they mention all of their news and feedback. On their website, this deal was talked about. It was mentioned that many consumers are going to be purchasing Android devices over the holiday season. So, reducing a Google service like Google Play Music will hopefully attract new Android users to their services. This deal could also keep those who signed up a reason to continue to subscribe after the initial three months.

GOOGLE PLAY PREVIOUS PRICE AND DEALS

Typically, Google Play Music will cost users $9.99 a month. This service will also come with a subscription to YouTube Red. YouTube Red is a more advanced version of YouTube. Also, this is not the first time that Google has offered a deal for their online music platform. A previous deal saw them offering a one-month trial run. After the trial run, the monthly cost would go back to $9.99. However, this deal tops that old deal by a mile!

MORE DEALS THAN JUST GOOGLE PLAY IN THE APP STORES

As mentioned earlier, the Google Play deal also gives users commercial-free access to YouTube Red. However, there is also more deals that are being offered in the App Stores. The very popular video game Minecraft is only $0.10. This is down from the original price of $4.99. You will also find great deals on movies, music, and books in the App Stores. Music, movie, and book deals of up to 80 percent off are available.

GOOGLE IS PLAYING SANTA JUST IN TIME FOR THE HOLIDAYS

We have a new Santa Claus for the holiday season. Google decided to be everyone’s secret Santa. However, just take out the secret and then we are good! This deal should be snatched up because soon you will not see deals like this. Sure, companies are always going to provide deals on their services, but not as often. Now is the best time to try out Google Play Music.

The Android Is Still Vulnerable to "Stagefright" Flaw - http://clapway.com/2015/08/14/the-android-is-still-vulnerable-to-stagefright-flaw123/

In July, a vulnerability that affected anywhere up to a billion Android phones was made public by software researchers. Google quickly made a patch available, but a security company said that it had been able to bypass the fix. This bug is called the Stagefright bug. The security company that found this update stated how this gives people a false sense of security.

Currently, 90 Percent Of Android Devices Are ASLR Enabled

Google told BBC in an interview that most of the Android users were protected by a security feature called the Address Space Layout Randomization, or the ASLR. At this time, over 90 percent of Android devices have the ASLR enabled. Enabling this is supposed to protect users from these issues.

ASLR is designed to make it harder for an attacker to plan an attack, and introduces more work into the process. This is more than likely to crash a smartphone in comparison to compromising its security.

Another Company Found That The Bug Was Still There And Offered Their Own Patch

However, this vulnerability still remains. In April, another security company found a bug in Android that could potentially let hackers access information and apps on a victim’s phone, just by simply sending a video message.

The company quickly disclosed this information to Google and provided their own patch for the software, which Google made available to phone manufacturers. Details surrounding this new flaw were made public in July, after Google had integrated the patch into the latest version of Android.

Currently, Google pointed out that there haven’t been any reports of anybody exploiting the bug. This week, the first security company said that one of their researchers was able to bypass the patch easily and that the original venerability still remains. On their blog,  they said that the public believes that the current patch in place protects them from this vulnerability, when in fact it does not.

New Bug Could Be The Beginning Of A Bigger Problem

Another researcher from a different security company described the Stagefright bug as an early warning sign to a much bigger problem that could quickly arise. There isn’t currently a comprehensive update solution to the Android bug, since there are so many different device makers that modify the software. Android is an open source operating system that can be modified by a number of different phone companies.

Google Unveils Free Version of Music Streaming Service in the US - http://clapway.com/2015/06/24/google-unveils-free-version-of-music-streaming-service-in-the-us876/

Today, Google launches its free music streaming service, called Google Play Music, for United States residents’ hearing pleasure.

Google, their free music service Google Music Play, and the race for a big debut

Despite Google already having a paid version of their free music streaming service, the worldwide, popular search engine decided to try a new approach. They wanted users to see just how amazing the free service is and eventually decide to subscribe to the paid version. According to recent reports, its paid version “had around 815,000 subscribers in the US last December.”

Speaking of strategies, the race for the big debut was with Apple, as Apple has been speaking of releasing its music streaming service (featuring a 90-day free-trial), Apple Music, on June 30th. Apple’s music streaming service’s debut has been endlessly discussed for a while and it was apparent that the wait would be over. However, due to Google’s sprint for the big debut, they have beat their competition thus far. Will the lead last once Apple releases their music streaming service?

What will be featured in Google Play Music created by Google?

Currently, Google and its free music streaming service, Google Play Music, will feature advertisements, similar to other well-known, popular music streaming services. In addition, it will also feature ways to match music based on many factors, such as what task a person is doing, what mood the person is in, and what kind of music the person feels like listening to. This feature may sound familiar to other music streaming services that are out there today (and it does), and that will be further discussed in-depth.

How Google Play Music curated by Google is different from other free music streaming services out there

Free music streaming service Google Play Music, created by the well-known, heavy-hitting, search engine giant Google, is by no means innovative or revolutionary when it comes to providing music to the general public. Its features conspicuously mimic music streaming apps like Spotify and Songza (which Google actually bought last year). Especially with Songza, Google Play Music is following suit by using their well-known feature which is selecting music based on either mood, task, music genre, or playlist.

Overall, Google’s free music streaming service is only available online and will be released for iOS and Android this week as well. At the moment, there is no further discussion of the streaming service being available being released outside of the US, but the paid version is currently still available in over 50 countries.
