Re: A technical question about Google's WiFi tracking plans

If you've never used Google's WiFi, then I don't think they can; all they would get is your MAC address, which is useless to them.

If you have used Google's WiFi before, they might have a record of your MAC address, so they will be able to recognize you.

Will Google be tracking computers that have WiFi turned on, but not connected to the Google WiFi network? Is there any technical reason why this can't be done? Richard
