stalkers and such are so happy right now... i was listenin 2 the radio and people debating whether its an invasion of like personal space... its pretty cool as long as they dont have like people or car number plates... but then again how they gunna do all that???

[SAIUN]

Even without seeing number plates, there are still a number of applicaitons for stalkers. i.e. you know what street someone lives on and what their car looks like. Provided it's a medium to small sized street with something less common than a white Falcon you have a good chance of figuring out which house is theirs.

That's all uh... strictly hypothetical, of course.

i checked this out last night, and i cant tell you the photos are not live updates. I went for a "walk" through my suburb and all of the roundabouts have dead grass ect(asif it was middle of summer), the servo near me which is 6 months old is not in the photos.

just to make sure it wasnt live updates in the US, i looked at the weather forecast in hollywood (raining) and the streets looked bright and sunny (like summer).


guess its not as intrusive as i first thought (i thought it was like a live video where u could follow cars/people/ect.

[noss]

ah no, its not live update.. how would you expect they keep stuff like that live updated?

[xxxx]

im just saying i cant see how this helps stalkers/eliminates crime or any of the other hype the media is giving it.

[noss]

ah ok.. well there are limitations to it, but there are possibilities, but the way everything is these days, its all about media hype and scaring the public into thinking that they're at risk to anything and everything.

They are supposed to pixilate peoples faces, which as far as i can see, they have done a good job of.

As for stalkers, get over yourselves people, the world isnt out to get you. Sure if someone does take an interest in you/your house/street, chances are they are serious about doing a good job of it and if they want to see your house they'd go there for themselves, not use a 6-12 month old picture.

And that msn pic of the bird in the nightie, ummmmm...errrrr maybe you shouldnt have gone into a public place like that??

Jeez people piss me off
