YouTube and Google Play are now part of T-Mobile’s Binge On program

Happy St. Patrick's Day and welcome back to DT Daily! As we celebrate this festive day, we have some exciting news to share with our T-Mobile customers. If you're a T-Mobile customer, you now have yet another reason to love your uncarrier today. That's right; YouTube and Google Play are now part of T-Mobile's Binge On program.

For those who may not be familiar with Binge On, it allows T-Mobile wireless customers to watch all the online video they want from sites like Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu without it touching their data plan. However, when it was announced last November, there was a conspicuous lack of YouTube participation, considering YouTube is one of the most popular online video sites. Turns out, part of Google's objection was that T-Mobile serves up Binge On video at a relatively low resolution to reduce the flow of traffic over its network. But don't worry, T-Mobile has made some adjustments.

Google didn't like the fact that it wasn't all that easy to turn Binge On off, so T-Mobile agreed to Google's request for a more transparent Binge On interface. And now, YouTube and Google Play are on board! That's especially great news for parents of kids who spend the lion's share of their screen time on their phone or tablet and are often not near a Wi-Fi network. With this updated feature, parents can rest assured that their little ones will be able to enjoy their favorite shows and movies without draining their data plan.

But that's not all we have for you today! In a rather big development, we're now learning that all cars will have automatic emergency braking systems by the year 2022. Yesterday, US Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx announced that twenty automakers are on board with the plan, saying that these systems that detect an imminent crash and slam on the car's brakes automatically will help prevent thousands of crashes and save lives.

There are several car models on the road today that already have these systems, but now that auto emergency braking will be standard like seatbelts and airbags, hopefully we'll see an improvement in safety. And since we live in an age of distracted driving, where texting and other smartphone usage by drivers is held responsible for an increasing number of traffic accidents, injuries, and deaths, this new standard is a welcome change.

It's estimated by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety that this new standard will help prevent 28,000 crashes and 12,000 injuries. But what about all the cars on the road that don't have these systems and can't stop as fast as those that do? What does that mean for the roadways? Well, we'll have to wait and see how this plays out.

And speaking of playing out, Apple's days of being an immune company whose products are safe from malware attacks are officially over. Just a few days after malware successfully infected Mac computers for the first time, news comes from Palo Alto Networks that a new piece of malware is infiltrating non-jailbroken iPhones. The exploit is called "Ace Deceiver," and it works its way through some sort of flaw in Apple's digital rights management mechanism.

Apparently, 3 f's posing as wallpaper apps managed to sneak past Apple and even though the nasty software was removed from the app store, it's still a problem thanks to something called a novel attack vector. Sounds like code for "we outsmarted Apple at any rate." The takeaway here is that not even the great and all mighty powerful Apple is immune to attack by malicious people.

So, it's probably a good idea to be extra sure that app you're about to download is legit and safe. After all, when it comes to security, there's no such thing as too careful. And with that, it's time for us to wrap up today's episode of DT Daily. Thanks for watching, and we'll see you right back here tomorrow!
