   I think Jeff explained that the MAC address that we can clone is   
   not the same MAC address that google saves.   
      
   We clone the WAN MAC address, which is always behind a modem or   
   transceiver so everyone could have the same WAN MAC address I think.   
      
   But, Jeff explained that Google doesn't save your WAN MAC address.   
   Google saves the LAN MAC address.   
      
   That LAN MAC address can't be cloned, and, it's an important part   
   of keeping the neighbors out of your WiFi, so, it wouldn't work   
   if everyone had the same LAN MAC address.   
      
   Sigh.
