mind right well that might be scary but it's not nearly as scary as what's happening with i phones see apple has always taken the high and mighty approach to privacy saying that they personally approve all apps that appear in their store and any app that transmits personal data without permission gets the boot but it looks like apple hasn't been hearing to its own policies because eleven percent of the free applications for the i phone and the i pad are taking user contacts and sending them to their parent companies without ever telling you about it and what's worse a few of them aren't even encrypt the data that they're pulling from your contacts before sending them over their own servers leaving that sensitive information open floating around in cyberspace for hackers to fight so you want to know which apps are the worst offenders well we've got yelp koala and hipster to name a few so for every out there is says i don't use those you should keep listening because facebook foursquare instagram even twitter also snooping through your phone . when you use the application in order to match you

apple and google's platforms. i think the adoption you're seeing globally from consumers gravitating towards new smart phones over phones is actually one of the biggest shifts in technology and entertainment in every market worldwide. consumers are engaging more with the smart phone. they're using it more for entertainment. they're using it instead of their laptops, pc, and for home entertainment. there's a shift in the way consumers consume media and entertain themselves. games are in the center of that. >> are people actually spending more time on each game? i would imagine the more time they spend they're likely to spend money on products within the games. >> absolutely. our solo job really comes down to producing experiences which are so compelling we get consumers to give us their time, stay with the game. and to do that, we upgrade our games on both apple and google's platforms very frequently. you see new content, new experiences, new things to buy. and we keep users around for many months on average. >> it's karen. let me ask you something. what percentage of someone who plays these games actually purchas

second segment of the people buying smartphones, you're seeing more and more are briding android phones, right? on so again, we have to highlight apple is at the top of its game, but there is concern that people are chasing them on price, and apple will have a difficult time being a high-end premium player as well as a mass market player. >> that 3 out of 5 buying the android. wee do those numbers not bear out in the last quarter. apple actually sold more phones than the android devices did as far as sales, not as far as, perhaps, production. >> that was first-time buyers. clearly apple has an installed fan base. price continues to be an important component. >> hey, colin, here is where i think apple can sneak up on you. corporations are opening up both their networks in terms of their pcs to apple products, as well as moving away frommed blackberry to the iphone. so that obvious, that corporate option hasn't been in apple's backyard except for a few select industries. i think you could see growth there. and i'm happy to still be there. i don't own the stock. >> but, el know the enterprise story i think is pretty well known. >> to pu

phone. it's not a huge market in and of itself. apple already sold 1.4 million apple tvs in just the holiday quarter alone. it's really hard to sees a business out of this. you really hope they'll focus. it's a question -- is this the thing to focus on? probably not. >> wow. all three of you. >> how long do you think it will last if indeed they do it, john carney? >> i think -- google has a lot of money. if they want to chase this project for years and years, they can. i don't think they'll ever have any success at it. but i think they can literally do this for the next five or ten years and you could be hearing about it. >> okay. thanks all. we have to go. appreciate it. >>> well, earnings, economic data, europe, the fed, how should you position yourself headed into next week's busy session, especially after this s&p move on the banks. we'll talk about that. the trading triple play is next. like in a special ops mission? you'd spot movement, gather intelligence with minimal collateral damage. but rather than neutralizing enemies in their sleep, you'd be targeting stocks to trade. well, that's what trade architect's heat maps do.
