Peeping Toms

Post by woodchip »

While reading about Japan putting a 2 legged robot on the moon by 2020 (BSG Cylons, here we come) I noticed a google map link on web page. So is the new news paradigm? We now get to have a exact link and view of the subjects place of business....or home? Is this information needed for say, a Joe the Plumber type citizens expose' by a group who is displeased because their sacred ox has been gored? I can see google maps being used in a not so pleasant way.

I see a link to a map of Japan and it takes you to Tokyo...Tokyo being kind of a large densely populated place and all, I think the guy is pretty safe from being located and attacked by villagers with pitchforks at this stage anyway ;)

I think we should've claimed the moon for America and not the world. Dumb ****ing move.

I suggest you find out when they're taking pictures, go outside and give the sky the finger as the satellite flys over head. ;)

At least that way everyone will know how you feel about it.

Will, if you click on the map and then enlarge it, you will see what streets lead to their building. If you click on satellite view and enlarge, you can see their building in all its glory.
