    paranoid ? or is Google tracking me - and you ?

    When they are doing their streetview vans they record the MAC address/SSID of any wireless networks detected. This enables their software to better pinpoint your location if you are inside a building (eg with google maps). You can stop your wireless router broadcasting such information to...
