Google Earth: Legend Apparently Works for Google Earth
Maybe some of you guys can clue me in on google earth. Is this an upgrade to the old service? I remember using this before, but it was never this intrusive and Big Brother-like. Here's some stills and links to see what I'm talking about:
guys, the shots you can see on google earth aren't live shots. They're stills that were taken some time ago. Google your own house and see for yourself. If it's intrusive to see an aerial photo of my house on some random afternoon several years ago, then yes, Google earth is intrusive.

In the select cities you can view street level images which are also old, but may intrusive to some

Yeah, but how'd you like to be the guy coming out of the porn shop. That's hilarious. He will forever be Porn Shop Guy to the ENTIRE WORLD.
Maybe somebody that is a little smarter than me can explain to me how this would even be possible? Maybe they are driving around and taking pictures of landmarks or something but I don't think you can have satelite photos like this. Satellites are overhead and there is no way to get a side view of a building no matter how far you zoom in.

Thankfully porn shops aren't places of national interest. Overt interest, anyway.

If you can see it from the street, then how is it intrusive? Maybe Joe Schmoe should buy himself some curtains.

Except for the fact that that photo is now crawling across the WWW, you're right. It's only a matter of time before the nighttime talkshows grab it and go. Expect to see that pic photoshopped a lot to go with different heads.

You seem a little worried about this, Bipolar. Don't sweat it, brother. The picture's really blurry. Your own mother couldnt' recognize you.

I don't think google earth is quite there yet. Microsoft's Live Earth is getting close. Also, try typing your address into zillow.com, then clicking on your house. You get an actual 3D image of your hosue (providing they have coverage in your area in their database).

Yeah, she's pissed because I made her drive me.... I mean, I don't know what you're talking about.
Google As Terror Tool?
JFK terror plotter directed cohorts to use satellite mapping service
JUNE 4--One of the plotters behind the alleged scheme to explode gas pipelines at John F. Kennedy airport directed his co-conspirators to use Google Earth to obtain detailed aerial photos of the targeted facility. In a federal criminal complaint, an excerpt from which you'll find below, one of the accused, Abdul Kadir, reportedly told cohorts to use the popular satellite software after he determined that surveillance video shot by the men was "not sufficiently detailed for operational purposes." Kadir, a Guyanese citizen and former member of that country's parliament, made the Google suggestion during a February meeting with an alleged co-conspirator and a government informant (Kadir and three other men have been charged with planning the terror attack). According to the complaint, the snitch followed through and obtained the Google aerial images of JFK, which the men code named the "chicken farm." At a May 11 meeting in Guyana, Kadir was shown the surveillance video and the Google Earth maps of JFK by the informant and Russell Defreitas, one of those charged in the airport attack plan. Defreitas, the complaint notes, "identified, among other things, the fuel tank locations and air traffic control tower." For his part, Kadir "asked many questions about the maps, including the distance between the street and the fuel tanks." (6 pages)
Realtime satellite is kinda Orwellian.
The 3D photo from the 5 major cities is something anyone could photograph. If there was a picture of you coming out of a strip club as the primary photo for a popular joint, it could be pretty embarrassing.
I'm sure a lawyer will take this one once they have put a ton of time and effort in to developing the new software.
