Google Street View goes live in Canadian cities

[Tea And Strumpets]

"The service is now available in much of the Greater Toronto Area and in Vancouver and the surrounding area, north to Whistler and east to Chilliwack, B.C.

Google Street view is also available in Hamilton, Ont., Kitchener and Waterloo, Ont., Ottawa, Windsor, Calgary, Canmore, Banff and Lake Louise, Montreal and the surrounding area, Quebec City, and Halifax."

As much as I think this technology is pretty cool, doesn't it make you just a little "queasy"? It doesn't really serve much purpose other than to snoop...

Just for fun, I dialled up two of my favourite incalls, and my favourite MP... Time to start wearing hoodies and shades...

Did everybody check to make sure their car wasn't parked at their favourite place of decadence?

Crazy! Technology these days...

I'm pretty sure the pics used for this were taken early this spring... in fact, there was a thread in the lounge showing a picture of the funny looking vehicles with the camera's fixed to the roofs asking WTF they were... Apparently they were seen driving all over the city at the time, and this would be the result of said picture taking adventures.

Finally, I was waiting for this...I was using this when on vacation in Los Angeles. Really helpful when looking for an exact address and knowing what the place looks like!

Oh yeah for sure. Checked the same places for my SO's car.

I checked to see if Rayfinkel's car was parked in front on my place visiting the SO!

It wasn't... It was at ESCO's place!!

That's OK!

I have no problems with Mistress CG using you as her pleasure slave!

Looks like the images were taken first week of June (at least in Hamilton where I live) as there were recognizable activities happening in my street.

 

[Thunderballs]

Too bad it's not live. It would be helpful to see how many Johns are lined up outside roommates.

 

[Anynym]

That's OK!

Who else sees a fat-headed guy, arms outstretched, standing behind a baseball bat when they look at " OK! " Or a guy pointing when they look at " ok "?

Google has to be shutdown. A company like that cannot be allowed to bypass International laws, have catestrophic copyright infringment and then spy into your bedroom window........all free of charge. They MUST be shutdown.

As for all other things people like about Google, anyone can re-create that, like a search engine, Linux we already have, Firefox is better than Chrome.

Google is an F'n danger and must be stopped. Their CEO must be arrested and all assets frozen.

Gyaos Baltar.

 

[Anynym]

Gyaos, those are some serious allegations you're raising. In all previous cases to my knowledge where such allegations have been raised they've proven to be groundless. What evidence do you have to support your claims?

 

[mmouse]

Firefox better than Chrome? Not in terms of speed, memory usage or stability.

As for the rest of your post, you're clearly insane.

 

[gabeti]

Nice

 

[Cycleguy007]

Fuck!

This Just in!
Google takes over the Government Spy Agency Operations all over the world.
They are watching. They see you. Hey Cycleguy, stop jerking off behind that tree.

Busted trying to test out this new gizmo I read about on TERB... You guys are a bad influence!

 

[moresex4me]

Did you guys missed the faces being blurred? That was part of the Privacy Commissioners "ask" of Google. No faces, no plates. That's why it took so long to get Canada online.

I was not at CB that day, though I was also not at work. But I recognized several of the dancer cars at CB.

 

[alexmst]

My house is on there - I just checked - but I am not.
