Google Street View: I Spy With My Little Eye . . .

Big Brother could actually be her indoors, to use the British term for a female spouse. The Sun [UK] reports that a snooping wife was doing the electronic version of twitching curtains (Googling her friend’s house) when she spotted her hubby’s motor parked outside. “The love cheat is not the only husband trapped by Google’s controversial new 360-degree photo search which covers 25 cities and towns throughout the country. Top media lawyer Mark Stephens said: ‘I was talking about the Range Rover case when another divorce lawyer came up to say his firm was dealing with the same sort of thing. People are getting caught out on Google.'”

    Dude, if you stress out over your wife wanting to know where you are, I seriously feel for you. It's more a case of "Are you near _____? Can you pick up _____?" these days. It evolved from "Are you lying in a ditch somewhere?" because a) she's got that Irish-Catholic dread that results in you assuming any phone-call after 9pm is someone dying and b) I actually was stranded in a ditch in Northern Ontario once---for about a day---and it freaked her out righteously.

    @ arapaima : Google street view is fun. There was a street in Pittsburgh that got together as a community to stage all kinds of random when the camera came by. Yep, sound like something my home town would do, especially after a Steelers win.
