netflix made a deal with comcast, which will allow netflix to inject its data directly into comcast's network without going through a third party dealer. while data and con at the present time are a hot subject right now, this is not precisely an issue of net neutrality, or nonneutrality, because the deal happens a long time before the data gets to your home. also, comcast is the parent company of this tv station, and if you look up the organizational chart far enough, you'll see they pay my paycheck. >>> apple is adding mac computers to its list of devices vulnerable to a bug. pretty serious bug, too. bad guys may be able to fool apple devices into thinking they're your bank or e-mail provider by spoofing asking called the secure sockets layer. apple has issued a patch for iphone and ipad. this is what your iphone will look like. you look for the update, plug the phone into the wall first, and hit go. there's no fix for mac just yet. >>> the show returns to its customary 1:30 time tonight with its new host jimmy fallon and followed by a new host for fallon's old show "late night", "snl" seth

netflix will now be able to connect directly to comcast's broadband network. it's the first deal that netflix has reached with an internet service provider. netflix had 33-million streaming subscribers in the u-s at the start of the year. at peak times, netflix traffic can eat up one-third of all u-s broadband network traffic. apple announced a security fix, after it was found that hackers might be able to see your private information. the patch for the *i-o-s devices prevents hackers from accessing e-mail, instant messages, and bank transactions ... that's for i-phones, i-pads, and i-pod touches. experts say however, it's unlikely that anyone illegally accessed that information. a fix is not yet available for apple *computer's* operating system. >> the chicago blackhawks resume play on thursday against the rangers and then they meet the penguins at soldier field saturday. back at practice sunday afternoon, the only olympian back in town. the lost one nothing at phoenix if you refresh your memory that 84 points tied for second to tie behind anaheim. yesterday

so the deal is for its payment, netflix will get direct access to comcast broadband network, and thisuse there's so much internet usage, a lot of volume and that can cause delays for customers trying to stream netflix movies and tv shows. i've had that situation myself and it costs money to upgrade, so you can understand why the major u.s. providers like comcast want to be paid for those connections so they can do the upgrades and keep things moving fast, and netflix does have a lot of heavy traffic that goes through the networks. as i say, it does set a precedent here and we could see netflix agreeing to compensate the other providers, as well. that's something we need to watch. >> mandy, this could be huge for "house of cards" fans. i don't know if you're one of them. >> i haven't seen it. i know what it is, but never watched a single episode. shame on me. >> i'm happy to shame you over that issue on national tv. we have a lot of fans here at msnbc, but it is a political show. mandy drury, thank you for your time. >> thank you, see you tomorrow. >> see you soon. >>> after more than

lex the issue is going to be network neutrality. comcastould love to ramp up usage fees on broadband and they will concede not to do that for at least five years. are adamant about preserving it. >> how they play with netflix or apple, as long as they play fairly, that is what regulators will look at. fromat about losing out all of that? down over thee cable business so nobody can accuse them of being a monopoly. >> over-the-top television is something to look at. anyone who wants to start selling for broadband lines, nbc is part of comcast. startompany wants to doing it, nbc will have to sell its content. that could be a game changer. >> who gets hurt? >> a good winner is mike at comcast to negotiated this deal. cableo of time warner walks away with $50 million and a golden handshake will stop neil smith is a winner. he's running the comcast cable operation and he was the ceo of whener and worked at aol it was in the cable business and also worked at time warner cable. on so may a winner levels. one of the losers is cablevision because the

a bigger comcast would force networks to set lower fees. rbc capital and ouris joining us, senior west coast correspondent jon erlichman in los angeles is smirking. explain how these fees work and what may change here. >> this has become a big business, a wonderful business for these media companies which in the past were largely tied to advertising. cable, of the growth of this other business basically materialized where the cable companies would end up paying those small cable companies some money to be carried by the cable company. that became their business model. then the broadcast networks over time said, we could be doing the same thing because we have a lot of people watching our programming. we spend a lot of money on it and so we want to get paid for it. this has become this amazing revenue stream for them. when they go into the court of public opinion, they generally win. and time warner cable having their blackout fight last year. few people have sympathy for the cable companies, so the content players are able to get more and m

not just about net neutrality but about making sure that comcast doesn't leverage media content it bought from universal against other networkse it doesn't discriminate against over-the-top video providers. those should allay the concerns here this means better broadband for time warner cable subscribers. comcast has upgraded speeds 12 times over the last 12 years. it offers faster speeds in many markets than time warner cable does. so, if what we are concerned about here is americans getting better consumers. it's supposed to save 1 and a half billion dollars in efficiencies of running the two companies together david gelles, cutters. does this position the company in a different way to handle a public that's already starting product? >> certainly. and this is something that brian roberts, the ceo of comcast has been working on for several years. if you look back to the rationale of the nbc/universal deal, that was about creating a company that had both content and distribution. this now, you know, pushes the distribution side, but it impasse sizes the future is going to be over the web, not television pipes. >> the web ente

for now, netflix will pay comcast for direct access to its network. r streaming. netflix and broadband providers have been fighting over this direct access. netflix wanted it for free, but comcast wanted to be paid, because look, streaming netflix eats up a big chunk of the network and slows it down. >>> okay, all of you college grads out there, be careful what you buy, because your alma mater may be tracking you. colleges across the country from brown university to colorado state are using advanced data mining to estimate how much their alumni can donate. the higher the number, the more calls you'll get asking for money. schools rely on third-party companies to provide data on your income, your bonus, stock purchases, information on whether you own a big-ticket item like a yacht or a jet, john berman. >> or both. >> check out cnn money for more, but this i find terrifying. not only do you pay them on the front end, they want your money, the more successful you are. if you're employed and you're buying stuff, they know about it and want you to give mor

paid tv providers, comcast is the largest with 22 million subscribers. satellite providers and dish network. what can consumers expect? one analyst covering the cable industry says changes for consumers will not be dramatic. >> consumers who are in comcast markets won't see any change at all. consumers in time warner cable will see subtle changes to their services. some sorts of improvements over time. that will take a while to implement and integrate. but relatively subtle over time. not inconsequential. >> a difference - comcast is seen as being aggressive than time warner cable with tv everywhere products, allowing contents on mobile devices. another difference, comcast has more on demand programming. comcast calls the deal p proconsumer critics think not. >> of 19 of the 20 largest cities, there's one choice, comcast as the local cable monopo monopoly. that means second class service at high prices with no option to choose anyone else. >> the deal is expected to come under scrutiny from regulators. comcast says it will shed 3 million subscribers. observers expect concessions will be nee

the los gatos streaming video service has agreed to pay comcast for direct access to the cable company's high-speed networkthat means customers will get faster streaming speeds while watching movies and tv programs. no word on the terms of the deal. this comes just after comcast agreed to buy time warner cable for $45 billion. comcast is the parent company of nbc bay area. >>> google will soon know you better than your spouse. that is the out rage just claim by top executives at the tech giant. google's director of engineering says he's working on a computer system that will know the answer to your question before you've asked it. google believes that understanding what language means is the key to teaching machines to think, predicting computers will outsmart humans by the year 2029. >> doesn't that sound crazy? >> a little crazy. he as smart guy, though. >> he's a brilliant man. anyway. >> so is henry. >> yes, and he's a handsome man too. >> oh, well thank you. >> we like the glasses. >> you do? >> we voted, we love them. >> i will challenge google, no one knows me better than my wife, man. she knows i'm

more, but they're paying to comcast and will hook up directly to comcast or closer to the comcast edge of their network. so the speeds will be a lot faster, no middle man, and it doesn't cost netflix anything extra. but you're right, they are going to have to now go pay this money to verizon, et cetera. but the point is, comcast, we understand from our sources, really cut the price because they're under washington, d.c. scrutiny. but netflix now takes this deal, which was negotiated a good price and uses it for a template across every other broadband provider. and they're going to get it at a better cost had not comcast trying to buy time warner cable right now. >> it's three to five years, according to your sources. after that, they could be on the hook to pay even more. that goes away because the comcast/time warner deal has already cleared. >> i think three to five years, you should step up to netflix. i think this encourages netflix to start tiering the pricing. people should pay higher prices to watch at peak hours because it's 30% of broadband usage. i think this is all good because it drives net

competition from satellite tv, if the new deal goes through, comcast will have that many more subscribers, and twice the size of dish networkho are trying hard to compete with the cablers. new online video services are also getting into the game. they have been making inroads as they tear down the traditional appointment-viewing model. and then there is the issue of customer service. comcast and time-warner get lower scores than their competitors. bad service and rising bills have prompted customers to shop around. the average cable bill just for tv has almost doubled in the past 15 years, so when a competitive environment with more customers slipping away the merger from a business per executive looks good ju but for the consumer's the implications are not so clear. >> reporter: by my measure comcast's proposed bid is huge. there's the $45 billion price tag and then there's the potential reach, by buying the second-largest cable provider, comcast would have roughly 33 million subscribers, cementing its place as the country's largest cable company. >> to put it in per speck taif when chase brought jpmorgan that was only a $
