Technically, this means they own the term "fuckface" which is a common synonym for Zuckerberg. So, hat's off to fuckface!

You are required to now include the registered trademark symbol when referring to Zuckerberg and fuckface®. Please correct and resubmit or you will be contacted by their lawyers.

Re:Is this how they can do wifi location detection

On: Germany Finds Kismet, Custom Code In Google Car

Yup, sounds very similar... Is Skyhook next on the list to be bullied?

To pinpoint location, the Core Engine uses a massive reference network comprised of the known locations of over 100 million Wi-Fi access points and cellular towers. To develop this database, Skyhook has deployed drivers to survey every single street, highway, and alley in tens of thousands of cities and towns worldwide, scanning for Wi-Fi access points and cell towers plotting their precise geographic locations. Skyhook's extensive coverage area includes most major metro areas in North America, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
