    Let's crack open Google wifi

    Right. The tech-blogging staff at GigaOM continues to tease us all about how they can get on Google's new Mountain View public wifi network, and how the rest of us can't. It's up to the Valleywag crowd to figure out the SSID and use Google's "private stage" wifi.

    We need testers in Mountain View to report on whether the following methods work.

    I have two conflicting reports. One reader says that the network SSID is "GoogleWiFi."

    Another says it might be a number — maybe a truncation of the math constant e. (The theory is that this is the sort of gag the Google geeks would pull.)

    So if you're in Mountain View, plug those into your wifi connector and see if you can get online. It looks like the network is unencrypted, which might make some fun for wannabe wifi spies.
