I have been playing with Google’s Street View for awhile now and I have to say its the most freakiest and coolest thing at the same time. Its cool for obvious reasons but its freaky because if Google have this kind of technology and they are sharing it with the public, imagine what one of those secret government agencies have for their own use… [Link]

I know!! I have been playing with it since yesterday!! I was all over San Francisco!! Its cool as hell!
hey, just for your information… these images are not being taken from the satellite.. it was revealed couple of days that google is using cars and vans which were found parked at some random street and they are taking these pictures and sending back to the google maps… here is the source (https://www.engadget.com/2007/05/31/the-google-street-view-vehicle-revealed/)
now if you look closely, you will be able to read Google logo on it’s side wind shield. I read in another source that this picture was mistakenly taken by another such google car, which i guess they are not trying to reveal.. I know, there are many questions arising, like why would they put the logo of Google on the car if they are intending to keep it secret… Well, Google can answer that!
hehe..
saw this on digg a few days back about this guy who was caught on google street maps as he was walking out of a strip club.

It’s similar in someway to the machine in the movie Deja Vu, google is changing the way we look at technology.
Timecode if google can do this then the government probably has something similar to the contraption in deja vu š
That is just rediculous! U can see anything!!! Its insane!! I dont even know what the government is doing then!!!
wow its really crazy !!! imagine the possibilities, I guess they can copy the whole world into 3D , it can be like this super real second life !!! or it could be used by fuckin’ stupid terrrorists who are gonna spy on everyone
i wish if they would come here and doing it š
Mark…Google is the government š
