I've been playing 'round with google earth for a few days, and I must say it's scary.
I typed in my address and it allowed me to zoom in so close to my home, It reminded me I needed to cut the grass. I'm not kidding. It showed the color of my roof, the color of my cars, my neighbors cars/roofs, etc. This technology isn't only dangerous because terrorists have access to your front door, it's dangerous because any monkey would take your IP address, do a trace route, find out your cordinates, and be at your front door within hours.
If someone would like to tell me the town and street you live in (not your address), I'd be able to tell you all streets around you, where the closest place to eat is, and where's the nearest lodging.
IMHO, it's too late. The bad guys have already downloaded this monster. Who knows how many will die now.
I don't blame google for the technology, I blame them for not running this across the authorities prior to release. I mean, they HAD to know what this could do. IMHO, they were too arrogant, as always, and just wanted to show off.
Google will now be at the very TOP of our Governments sh*t list. They've really shot themselves in the foot this time.
