A little off-topic, but this is just too funny!
A couple of months ago, Google‘s web mapping service GOOGLE MAPS launched a new feature: GOOGLE STREET VIEW. A panoramic street level environment lets you descend from the sky and virtually travel through the streets.
Impressive. And contentious! The feature has raised privacy concerns. This scene from a Chicago street shows why:

UPDATE: The original picture has been deleted. Always good to make screenshots! 😉

I love that, actually. If you want privacy, don’t do it in public.

Note the above refers to the persons in and implied by the illustration, not the blogger.
I once got totally chewed out (so to speak) by a hooker when I shone a flashlight into the car in which she was giving a blow job. But it was parked right outside my house. “How do you expect me to work?” Well, I don’t, actually.

Wow – how did somebody zoom in that close? I’ve never managed to do that in google.

Actually it was funnier if you zoomed out a little:
you could see his license plate!!!

Wow… I didn’t know that google maps could get that close. I’ve zoomed in and were not able to see things that close. If this is the case, then I would think there would be some serious privacy issues. And, to see his license plate? Now, everyone knows who he is! lol
