Privacy takes a nose dive
 

I saw on the news google implemented a new feature to now be able to view actual streets in clear view

Managed to find my house (Its the 2nd one from the left Ive blanked out the street address)

>_>

If someone takes a pee in public you can be sure Google will pick it up:err:

lol, this is a one time snapshot...its not like they are going around trying to find pee-ers ;)

also, while they may update the imagery, it is at a huge cost to them, so its not going to happen too often

I'd be less worried about Google taking a pic of my house and more worried about the phone companies knowingly breaking the law because the presidential administrations said it was "ok"...just my $0.02

this may have been a good topic for the mature section?

I should search my house :O

My house isn't special enough to have a picture of it.

=/

WHOA

I see my car...

Is the website simply www.maps.google.com?

This isn't really new... They've had the street view thing for months, but they just added tonssss of neighborhoods. Yeah, before they only had views of busy streets on major US cities. (SF, Chicago, Houston, NY, LA, etc.)

I for one think this is awesome! >D Apparently they're going to implement this software that switches people's facial features onto other people. 6 year old girl with the face of a 94 year old man? Ftw.

yep...there is a "Street View" button in the upper-right hand corner of the map (by traffic, satellite, etc...)

click on the button, and after it switches you can stalk...ermm...i mean look at any street that is highlighted with blue...

you may have to zoom out to find these if the have not imaged your area, but go to any big city and you'll find them ;)
