First off, wired is a reputable source. Second, Google is known for data sniffing through public and private wi-fi signals, spying via location with smartphones, data collecting with ip addresses, and the list goes on. So seeing this is no surprise. And if half of you lames actually READ the whole article instead of looking at pictures, youll see what this is. If anyone here knew anything about networking, this a switch in which shouldnt exist in the open market. its relay is way advanced past cisco products.

A closeup of the “Pluto Switch,” a mystery hardware device that landed on the edge of Iowa this past winter. Images: networking-forum.com
Photos of the mystery computing device appeared on the web in late February. Taken with a smartphone, they were a bit washed out and a little blurry in places, but you could easily read the name printed on the long, thin piece of hardware. “Pluto Switch,” the label said.
The images were posted by two men who said the device had unexpectedly turned up at a branch office in the tiny farmland town of Shelby, Iowa — population: 641 — and they were hoping someone could tell them what it was.
