And I thought you were over 12 !!!

724859 2008-12-07 01:52:00 I am interested that they did not blur faces in NZ, while I think they did in New York. I also think it is a great technology. It's no different really to somebody driving past your house, except for being virtual and anybody with internet access can do it. You got nothing to hide, you got nothing to be worried about. sammo450 (13626)
724860 2008-12-07 02:08:00 I wonder if they posted accidents and stuff if they came across any.... rob_on_guitar (4196)
724861 2008-12-07 03:06:00 I see Google has just launched Street view in NZ (finally). They're censoring faces (maps.google.co.nz 011&sll=-43.529867,172.663308&sspn=179.963415,360&ie=UTF8&cd=1&geocode=FffRZ_0dJF1KCg&ll=-43.527689,172.641585&spn=0.011482,0.027466&z=16&layer=c&cbll=-43.52769,172.64483&panoid=C0xWF6SHosUiEGJVMdwfzQ&cbp=12,106.6888108323541,,1,14.915963617516587) in it too :clap.

No faces? That's not right...or maybe they are trying to protect the rest of the world (Rightsideup Land) from things that are better off left unseen.

Link?

Every face I have seen has been blurred.

In fact, It looks like they blurred out an entire person checking the letterbox at my brothers house.

There is a negative side to Street view.

Yes, Im afraid so.

My two day trip over to the other side of the country was cancelled because the bossman was able to see all the locations I was to visit.

The day was only saved when it was pointed out I had two make contact with a couple people over that way at the same time.
