Which makes me muse on privacy assumptions again as these cameras get even better -- most of us don't walk around assuming we're being monitored by hi res spy cameras or listening devices (at least those of us who aren't crypto-paranoids), and so we don't worry that the guy 2 miles away with a big camera is about to capture in living, crisp color the fact that we were sitting on a bench with a strange blonde woman who is not our wife, smoking a cigarette after we said we'd quit. Not to mention that we were caught wearing bad Oakley sunglasses and male pedalpushers at the same time.
I'm just pointing it out.
I think Keyhole is cool too -- and I saw the connection on Gigapxl's site to the Keyhole thing. When I realized fewer European cities were covered by Keyhole, I got less interested; I think it has something to do with my wanting to be a tourist, or wanting to be eyelevel in the scene.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, in France you could look up an address online and see a picture of the building, too. My building was under construction the whole time I was there, so I only ever saw the front as it was supposed to look without scaffolding in that post office photo.
