#12This is a privacy nightmare. Perhaps wifi devices should no longer provide constant MAC addresses....
Or rename "Airplane mode" to "Shopping mode"

What's the advantage to a constant MAC address anyway? There must be a reason for it, but my first reaction to this article was to see if I could change mine.

#14Before you say more, check euclidanalytics.com. The creator of Google Analytics has been working on this, with funding, for a number of years already.
I had seen news about this recently and am surprised that more people didn't notice how it is essentially the same, without funding, and less developed.

#15I've actually seen a crude version of something like this on a trip to Taiwan a couple of years ago. I was at a mall and I noticed a wifi network called "People Counter." I wasn't entirely sure what they were doing with it, but I assumed it was counting MAC addresses.

#16This is really clever. So it's like Google Analytics (or any analytics) for your brick and mortar business. This is the kind of stuff I love to read about and see being developed, it makes a refreshing change from yet another javascript framework or social network for your pets.
They're not the first; Path Intelligence tried it in 2007: http://techcrunch.com/2007/12/14/path-intelligence-monitors-...

#17Why are posts allowed that just have the site's URL as the entire post title?

#18Met these this last week, they're absolutely incredible and they understand their market really well. They take privacy incredibly seriously and they've built a product that can change the industry.

#19sounds very similar to this http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-23665490 which was shut down.

Network's that whitelist devices by MAC and device registration/provisioning by MAC. And debugging network is theoretically easier when every device has a unique MAC.
There are several applications for OSX and various *nix distros that run at boot and randomize MACs. SpoofMac is probably the most well known: https://github.com/feross/SpoofMAC
