About Paul Spoerry
I’m a groovy cat who’s into technology, Eastern Thought, and house music. I’m a proud and dedicated father to the coolest little guy on the planet (seriously, I'm NOT biased). I’m fascinated by ninjas, the Internet, and anybody who can balance objects on their nose for long periods of time.
I have a utility belt full of programming languages and a database of all my knowledge on databases... I practice code fu. Oh, I've also done actual Kung Fu, and have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do.
I run. I meditate. I dance. I blog at PaulSpoerry.com, tweet @PaulSpoerry, and I'm here on Google+.
I'm currently work for IBM developing web enabled insurance applications for IBM and support and develop a non-profit called The LittleBigFund.

That's definitely a selling point.
If you believe for second that it is true, I don't
Well, even if it were. It won't do anything except attract law enforcement and encourage them to focus on it since all Android L owners "..must be hiding something".
Are any of you already using the Encrypt Device feature?
I activated it before I did a factory restore on my last phone before I sold it. Some devices, a factory restore will leave stuff around so if you sell it, it's possible someone could still get data off of it. If you encrypt before you factory reset that ability goes away.
But, you're not using it "in production" on your daily driver?
No, I'm not.
