>Google was caught pants down spying on everyone

If you're referring to the whole wifi thing, tell me, what information do you expect the street view car to be able to pick up in the 10 or so seconds it would have been associated with the AP? Their engineers have basically come out and said that was a fuckup, and I'm inclined to believe them because I find it hard to imagine what use that random data would be.

And to be honest, I'm more likely to believe a Google engineer rather than a namecalling troll who's virulently against them for no good reason.
