If you see a property for sale and don't know the area it would be pretty handy, if you want to break into a house and don't know the area it would be pretty handy.

There are leaves on the trees in the pictures from the area that I used to live in, which suggests to me that the pictures were taken no later than September 2008.

The flat that I used to live in is still empty though. After three months of not being rented out it is now up for sale. Sorry, that's for a different thread.

I can't understand people getting upset with google about privacy issues when the government has done far worse.

Once again, the real issues are ignored by our media.

Don't know much about Google, is it on Google Earth and do you have to update it to see street level?

I looked out my window the other day and saw a car with a huge metal frame on the roof with cameras on, it just wizzed round the car park and drove off.

Is this for street view do you think?

Now I'm not one to subscribe to the whole "we're constantly under the threat of terrorism" type sh it that government and media peddle, but surely this makes it a whole lot easier to perform reconnaisance, even if it is purfunctory "rule it out" type.... which would ergo speed up the TTL of any would be terrorist act no?

True, and the wheel means those same terrorists can get to and from the target a lot quicker, improving the chance of mission success, so maybe that bit of new technology should be rolled back too?
