We all know about Google cars and vans taking 360 degree pictures of our neighborhoods and posting them on their Street View application.
We are familiar with the privacy complaints and weird results of this picture taking, but most of us are OK with the concept as long as they don't catch us in our robes, getting the morning paper or drive onto our property and take pictures.
Well, get ready for the next level of intrusion from our liberal friends at Google.
They have also been logging MAC addresses and WLANs as they trundle down the street.
This information has not yet been released in any Google application, but they have already got it.
This information may help Government, Law Enforcement, and private individuals (and Google) to cross reference your information to identify your network presence and you.
It is the height of hypocrisy that Uber-liberals like the Google founders would end up being "Big Brother" after a lifetime of complaining about him.
Even worse is the comment eerily resembling Obama's tripe concerning proposed wall street regulations: "Google CEO Eric Schmidt recently said internet users shouldn't worry about privacy unless they have something to hide."
Everyone has something to hide Eric.
Shall we prove that by following you 24/7/365?
