Bureau 24 Invited To Googleplex

Google has invited CEO Keenan Daniels to the Googleplex. Keenan will participate in a meeting with Google team members on several Google products. Keenan has also promised to to ask a number of questions of the Google participants to gain some valuable insight for our employees and clients.

Bureau 24 currently provides management services to Adwords users. It is expected that along with the meeting there will be a training session as well. Now, how many SEO/SEM companies can claim that they have participated in training at the Googleplex?

Google Nukes Malicious Apps Remotely

Google found a number of apps for its Android OS running on popular phones that it didn't like. The malicious applications were cleaned out of its App store, then in a move to shock the malicious software to its core, Google hit a kill switch. Not just any kill switch but a switch that zapped the offending programs right off the phones they had infiltrated.

Many cheers go up. Though, we must ask what else can Google zapp remotely? How much of a backdoor is in this Android software and is it itself a threat?
