Google WiFi+VPN Confirmed

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the only-a-matter-of-time dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Google is actually (confirmed!) rolling out their wifi network, first in the San Francisco bay area (see the FAQ for details.) They are also including a Secure Access program for use in conjunction with this. So far, as per usual, it's in beta, and only for the San Fran bay area. Soon the entire US, perhaps??"

    This is the most blatant example of karma whoring I've seen in a long time, right down to the comment encouraging people not to mod it up to make it look like the author's intentions are honourable.

    If you're going to post mirrors, do it anonymously. People like the parent are just trying to get karma by posting stuff that's probably widely available anyway. This kind of thing needs to be stamped upon before it gets out of control.

    I love that you got modded up anyway. We all know some slashdotters don't RTFA before posting, but I'm flabbergasted they don't RTFComments before modding them!

    Where to begin with this one?

    I just wanted to make sure the story was accessable without eagle eyed moderators having to plow through all the AC posts, wasting mod points on getting something to +2 when it could be +2 from the beginning. How is that "bad"? At least I'm not like 90% of people who post mirrors who either post links to inaccessable-behind-corporate-firewalls "NYUD" links or who post it with some NSFW joke at the expense of the people who run this website.

    And I asked people not to mod me up. Only a troll like you could claim that's bad.

    Is anyone else freaked out by one of the FAQ questions?

    We've included the option to install the Google Toolbar because it improves your browsing experience.

    That seems like they aren't above bundling something just because they think you should use it. Scary?
