    has anyone noticed the pictures from each angle are taken at different times/on different days?

    I find this rather interesting.

    also, where's the best place to buy a balaclava, swag bag and hooped long sleeved top?
    Remember the time he ate my goldfish? And you lied and said I never had goldfish. Then why did I have the bowl Bart? Why did I have the bowl?
  • Street view has been available in the US for quite a while. I'm sure if there was any really good evidence that burglars were using it we'd have heard by now.

    There's lots of people making very big assumptions about what google are going to do with this information.

    Just because it's google doesn't mean it's going to be public information readily accessible through google maps, the public information available on the net is the very tip of google's mapping business.

    I recently had a Google Street View Car taking pictures of my house in Norwich. I am in a private drive and the vehicle was only 3 mtrs away from my front door.

    Does this mean I won't be able to sunbath nude in my front garden anymore?:mad:
