I thought you guys might want to know this, if you haven't already read about it yet. You should turn off you SSID broadcasting on your routers. Google is apparently starting to index them.

They're not cataloging your MAC address. They're cataloging MAC addresses of WiFi routers that are publicly accessible. They can't see MAC addresses of people visiting Google, it's impossible.
