I don't know why, but it kind of reminds me how google and other giant corporations could hire an army and basically fight a war against a country. I have no idea why this has come on my mind right now.
Am I mistaken, but didn't they just store WiFi SSIDs and there security, or was it more than that?

Why not give them 35 days to turn youtube back to normal? do they even care about anything now?
I'm guessing they just drove around, MITM attacking all the unsecure networks. I can't see how they could gather all this info from secure WiFi networks.
I for one welcome our new google overlords - why delete all this precious data? [IMG]http://forum.trophies-ps3.de/images/smilies/new/emot-saddowns.gif[/IMG]

Germany doesn't have deep enough pockets to find all of Google's datacenters and scrub them of crap like that.
"So uh, it's been 35 days, have you deleted that data yet?" "Yes." "Okay, very well then."
