Google Maps and UK Street View

Loving the new feature on Google as I can see the possibilities of having to explore my home town without getting out of the house and getting mugged. Brilliant. Joking aside, I found a cyclist with no legs!

Meanwhile, the contraversy of privacy will always wage on. Only today, Google had to pull some pictures of people in a less than respectable manner off the service. Full details here on the BBC. Earlier in the year, Mr and Mrs Boring ,an American family, tried to sue Google for invading their privacy for using images of the front of their house. They then subsequently shot themselves in the foot by publishing their full address in the legal notes. The case collapsed. Roll on the mighty Google machine!
