Google Map gets a tad creepy

I just found this on the website, must be how they cover themselves! lol.

"The images that Maps displays are no different from what can be seen by anyone who flies over or drives by a specific geographic location."

On another note, have you actually looked at Area 51? Surely they wouldn't allow anyone such pictures! It looks too realistic it's false. Perhaps none of it is real! They are all computer generated and our planet is really flat and we haven't been to space and computers don't exist either! AH! <runs screaming>

Well the specifics on my property are VERY accurate. I just looked out my back window while on google map to check. Looks like they use winter/spring photos in the US btw

My place is pretty fuzzy, can't distinguish between the white blob on my lawn being a beachball or me with my shirt off.

On the day I get a home with a roof of my own I promise to spraypaint Tux doing Larry Page in the *** on it.

Looks like Michigan is still safe : P. My address is a green blob as is most of my city. Just look up Ann Arbor or Detroit for that matter, it's very grainy, most features are indistinguishable. Then again, who actually wants to look at Detroit : P

I dunno, I still get horrible fuzzy blobs over Bellingham. But Seattle gets bloody clear images. I imagine it's for the best- I'm still not keen on the whole "You're being watched while you're outside" thing.

Me neither, but you have to see that Google isn't the one who watches you. They just make you aware that others watch you, which is a good thing IMHO.
