Here's something nobody -- including apparently most of the people at Google -- knew until last week. In addition to the SSID and MAC address, Google's WiFi antennas were also siphoning off unencrypted data as it passed through wireless routers and out onto the InterWebs. That could potentially include email, passwords, Facebook or Twitter status updates, Web sites visited -- really, anything not protected by an encrypted SSL (https:) connection. in terms of the volume of information it possesses about ordinary citizens, it's pretty darned close. In some ways, Google knows more about you than Uncle Sam. And there are far fewer rules restricting what it's allowed to do with this information.
