The justices today left intact a federal appeals court ruling that the U.S. Wiretap Act protects the privacy of information on unencrypted in-home Wi-Fi networks.
Google, the world’s most-used Internet search engine, is accused in class-action lawsuits of gathering e-mails, user names and passwords while using a fleet of camera-equipped vehicles that drove around the country to collect images for Street View.

It would seem that Google not only failed to supply Arrested Development with the street view car parodied in Season 4, it even denied pemission to use its logo. LINK.
Maybe that's true and maybe it isn't.
But if it's true, I can appreciate that Google would want to protect its privacy, after all.

Is this really true? If so, that is fucking, amazingly unreal. I cannot believe the chutzpah. I can't believe I spelled that correctly.
Who doesn't encrypt and password protect their wi-fi!?!?
Not just Google, but anyone could get onto your system and get all sorts of information if they wanted to do so.
Yes, but for what reason would a company like google do it? I need an in depth article.
lol, it's like the final words in the Cabaret clip...'do you really think you can stop them now?'
