As the screenshot shows, it can transmit 25 million packets/second, which is fast enough to scan the entire Internet in just under 3 minutes.

*** Google knows nearly every Wi-Fi password in the world *** --------------------------------------------- If an Android device (phone or tablet) has ever logged on to a particular Wi-Fi network, then Google probably knows the Wi-Fi password. ... Android devices have defaulted to coughing up Wi-Fi passwords since version 2.2. And, since the feature is presented as a good thing, most people wouldnt change it. I suspect that many Android users have never even seen the configuration option controlling this. --------------------------------------------- http://blogs.computerworld.com/android/22806/google-knows-nearly-every-wi-fi...
