go Wednesday! Did you have fun?

omg thats scary :shock:

Why? Don't tell me you found yourself hiding a dead body...

Weds you make me laugh. :p

It is amazing. BUT I find it just so shockingly intrusive!! :shock: :shock:

its a shame they have'nt done all the big cities yet.
They should have started with them!

It was Yasmin Cullen who saw her mum cleaning windows not Wednesday.

Village mob thwarts Google Street View car

A spate of burglaries in a Buckinghamshire village had already put residents on the alert for any suspicious vehicles. So when the Google Street View car trundled towards Broughton with a 360-degree camera on its roof, villagers sprang into action. Forming a human chain to stop it, they harangued the driver about the “invasion of privacy”, adding that the images that Google planned to put online could be used by burglars.

As police made their way to the stand-off, the Google car yielded to the villagers. For now, Broughton remains off the internet search engine’s mapping service.

It was Paul Jacobs who provided the first line of resistance. “I was upstairs when I spotted the camera car driving down the lane,” he said. “My immediate reaction was anger; how dare anyone take a photograph of my home without my consent? I ran outside to flag the car down and told the driver he was not only invading our privacy but also facilitating crime.”

He then ran round the village knocking on doors to rouse fellow residents. While the police were called, the villagers stood in the road, not allowing the car to pass. The driver eventually did a U-turn and left...

That is kinda funny, the way they bombarded him. And the car does not look as weird as I had expected. Very cool technology. Even if I do find it intrusive.
