Google Maps Lets You Peep Into Homes

Street View feature I talked about earlier today? Great service, but it turns out you can zoom all the way into someone’s living room window. In this case, enough to make out this chick’s cat.
So the big question becomes: where do you draw the line between convenience and privacy? Do you think it’s OK to have this woman’s home peaked into so that you can see what downtown San Francisco looks like? I think so. You can barely make out the cat and as long as the picture isn’t taken at nighttime when you’re partying naked with a handle of rum, then no harm done.

We all got the same parts - so who cares… Google already tracks your web searches, statistics etc… why not put it one step further and track your movement and changing waist line as well.

I added here the best Google Street View (28 views and more after …).
