Google WiFi Equipment
For those lucky enough people sitting around and enjoying Google's free WiFi service in Mountain View California, this isn't really for you. Niall Kennedy has managed to snap some pictures of Google's WiFi equipment that sits atop street lights around their hometown, as well as the WiFi login screen.The login screen for the system is pretty plain and to the point.

Google seems to also be providing a secure access kit that encrypts traffic. They are also pushing their WiFi service for home use as well. Like any good site, they have a help section.

And to everyone in Mountain View, I hope you're enjoying your free WiFi, maybe we'll get some one day.
