Google’s peeping
An interesting article in the New York Times today says Google might be taking their street views a little too personal. Yes, you might like to see where you live, but you also don’t want to be able to see into your own windows.  The questions is, how close is too close when it comes to satellite views of your street? Should there be a limit to how far one can zoom into an area? Privacy issues need to be dealt with before Google publishes “street views” online.

Ms. Kalin-Casey, who manages an apartment building here with her husband, John Casey, was a bit shaken when she tried a new feature in Google’s map service called Street View. She typed in her address and the screen showed a street-level view of her building. As she zoomed in, she could see Monty, her cat, sitting on a perch in the living room window of her second-floor apartment.
