Why go anonymous?
As artists currently working in the industry we felt constricted by social, media and political laws when experimenting with the music making process. We didn’t want to carry the baggage or expectations from our other projects. Preserving our anonymity allowed us more freedom as we were able to break from today’s paradigm without people expecting a certain sound or identity. Also, this cult of personality is too prevalent in today’s culture. We want to focus solely on the music and product. In an era where no one cares whether Big Brother is watching them, we prefer to remain hidden behind the music.Source: deathandtaxesmag.com

Schmidt then explained that Roubini’s assessment of the future was not one he agreed with. “I think you’re describing a world of tracking which I think is highly unlikely to occur, because people will be upset about it in the same way you are,” Schmidt said. “Governments won’t allow it, and it’ll be bad business. And ultimately, in a competitive market, companies want the consumers to be happy. So it’s true tracking in this context…you’re taking a much broader view of the word [‘tracking’] than any I would use. A situation where you go to people and say, ‘Oh, here’s our phone, and we’re going to track you to death,’ people are not going to buy that phone. It’s just a bad business model.

Though Google finally launched its Gmail iOS app way back in November 2011, thus far links to the likes of Google Maps have opened up in the browser, rather than the app. Now, with version 2.2.7182 (yup!), all links shared through the email client will open in their respective apps – this includes YouTube, Chrome and Google Maps.
