This reminds me of a funny article I read in the Daily Mail a while back, it's funny because it showed how moronic the journalist was.
When the cars started coming round the kick up in the Mail was privacy, they called them 'Spy cameras', seeing a headline today from another paper calling it 'Spyware'
The Daily Mail journalist seemed very scared of stalkers and people being attacked because their house is on the internet...funnily they put one of the images in their newspaper. The journalist clearly missed something, to get the image you first need a post code or an address. If a stalker knows your address or post code, then they can easily find your house.
But the journalist insisted them as being spy cameras, thus begs the question, how can you spy on someone through a 7+ month old image? I checked my student house, and it had some of the building work outside, so they took the image 7 months ago.
And they miss out the whole ideas that any person can walk down any street. How does google change that. So the claims seem retarded.
It's quite cool to look at, it particular helps house hunters, if I'm looking for a house through the internet, then I could just easily see what kind of street or house I'd be living in before walking down there, so if it looks like a dodgy neighbourhood, then I know to through it off of the list.
