If they could link some kind of user paid for super laser that you could use to target your enemies, they would make all kinds of money.

Yeah, the privacy thing is already coming up:

Guy notices that you can see into his place and see his cat.

Gee, I hope that's the guy's car, not his girlfriend's car.

And for you real nerds:

Yeah, I've spent a lot of time just browsing Google Earth. It's actually fascinating.

I thought about this when google maps was first released but couldn't actually figure out how the would execute it. It's really nice to find a location on a map, check out the sat photos to get an idea of the surrounding location but to be able to stand on the street and look at what you would see when you get there. Simply amazing!

Talk about the wrong time to walk out of a strip club (from DIGG)

You'll see dozens of trucks of that nature driving up and down the strip all day long. They are much more prevalent at night.

Heh, that is cool. I've been trying to find reputed mob hangouts in New York, but it's pretty tough. Too bad they don't have New Jersey mapped out.

LOL! And check out the ad in the window of the strip club, it looks like they totally blacked out part of it (probably a scantily clad girl).

Yet you can clearly see the license plate #'s of all the cars around.

And I like how there's a children's playground right across the street
