I live at the end of a cul-de-sac. Then yesterday I spotted a blue car with some trivet on the roof. It turned into the entrance of the carpark to the doctors. So out came the camera and I took a picture of it taking a picture of me. Both on this collection of photos. or - Goggle car (my pic) & App-hell (not my actual pic - it took too long to diagnose and reach for the camera) Google are much more obvious about it (this time). The last time I saw the Goggle-o-mobile it was anonymous but I pointed at it and - guess what - I did not appear on Goggle Earth. I wonder - will my camera show up this time? watch this space! |

It is a trade-off; opening up Google maps or Google Earth and being able to assess the area you're headed, know what the address itself looks like is a generally very useful thing. Those Android phones so many of us carry track our travel and speed, and when we're in a crawl on the freeway or simply waiting for a traffic light, a streak of red appears on that street on Google maps in the driving mode. The phone company probably also gets a cut of the action. As long as I'm anonymized, I don't care, but the phone company seems more likely to abuse the information than Google, just because the phone company has been around a lot longer and has always been considered suspect in some things.

You can compromise famous people, politicians, organizations in a very simple process to humilliate, elevate or achieve what ever your goal is. How? take a look how gullible people are https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QkXeMoBPSDk |
