The poster is probably referring to Elcomsoft wifi key recovery software which uses the GPU and distributed computing to brute-force, a 10 character or greater key would still take a very long time to crack and probably wouldn't be worth the effort since there's so many people still running WEP or using dictionary attackable WPA pass-phrases.
