Article Summary
Google has been caught in the act of "snatching personal data from Wi-Fi networks" by using its street view cars and is now trying to pin the act on one sole engineer. The software that is responsible for the invasion of privacy is said to be the doing of engineer, Marius Milner. (279cc)

Relevance to the Class 
As internet users, nothing is safe or off limits. Anything is available to anyone at anytime if they really want it bad enough. With that being said, as a user, it affects the way you protect yourself and forces you to access anything with caution. (248cc)

Key Quote
“Google's motto has always been 'Do no evil'. It should also be 'Do no eavesdropping'.” (87cc)
