Google Earth
I (finally) got Google Earth for my home computer, and I was thinking--does owning it automatically make you a stalker? If not, then what about when they give it live video instead of photomosaic? Assuming, of course, that the CIA doesn't choose that moment to fly in and steal it.

Yes, but it's more than that. It's a hipnotizing program which, if you have the free version like I do, will let you zoom so far in that you can see blobs that vaguely represent your car from roughly five years ago. But you can also zoom into other things, like Paris or Rome, and see what they looked like not so long ago. I could spend days just gazing into its greatness.

Wow, freaky. I guess it's all the stalkers celebrating the release of Google Earth for Mac.Omni Hunter wrote:The scary thing is this is the second forum I regular that has a topic called Google Earth, in 2 freakin days!
Do you e-stalk me jenkins?
Cars=Blobs? Depends on the city. Out where I live, the photos are from, oh, 2003 or so, and I can see our old red car in the driveway, now long gone. It is visible as a blob, not much else. But when I look at my old house in Cambridge, the resolution is so good that I can see the mirrors on the car doors and estimate how fat the people in Harvard Yard are. Those photos, however, I can't date. Yet.

Sounds neat. But what's there to stalk with out of date pictures? A real-time satellite cam, now thát would be something. Imagine the possibilities. This could be the dawn of a new age in voyeurism.
Of course I suppose this sort of thing would be restricted by privacy laws, and come to think of it, isn't Google Earth a violation already? Can you look into everyone's back yard? Or how exactly does it work?

Somehow the picture of the target advertisement on the link just screams 'drop bomb here.'Ritz wrote:Oho.

It's also the only internet map-thingy that shows the MBTA subway stops. Very handy for Bostonians.
