I have listened to this show for a few years now and I enjoy it immensely, but a section on the last show was nearly unlistenable.  Someone please explain to me if I am wrong, but the Heartbleed bug is not a danger for your Android handset unless you are running a server on it that uses SSL. I'm pretty certain that I am not often running a server on my phone and usually when I am it is on a LAN behind a router and still not a danger. This bug was not a client side vulnerability. I expected Gina Trapani  to stop the insanity and correct the others at any second, but it never happened.   I am not a security expert, but I easily understood the explanations I heard of this bug all week and unless 15 different podcasts were completely wrong this is not a problem for Android and an update will not make you any more secure than you were yesterday. 

 

I'm not trying to be a jerk. If I am wrong, please help me understand.
