Google Street View

“Street View, we drive exactly once,” Schmidt said, referring to the vehicles mounted with cameras sent out to take photos for the service. “So, you can just move, right?” After a brief, subsequent exchange with co-host Kathleen Parker, Schmidt laughed, making it unclear whether the remark was made in jest.


The executive added in reference to Street View that “the important point is we only do it once,” and that “this is not a monitoring situation.”


A Google spokesman said in a statement: “The point Eric [Schmidt] was making is that our Street View service provides only a static picture in time, and doesn’t provide real-time imagery or provide any information about where people are. Of course, we also allow users to request that their home be removed from Street View.”








Apparently, Google has been hit by yet another perplexing problem. The public is now accusing Google of monitoring their movement.




But on hindsight, like what Google mentioned, they only drove past once and captured the image once. 




Its not like they drive past once every 2 weeks or a month to see how much your house has changed. The public really needs to calm down. If they are really so anal about all these implementations, they cannot be part of this world.




The world is changing and we are a part of it.




Like what Google said, if you don't like it, you can jolly well move away.






Sounds like a pun, but I think Google really meant it because they probably had enough of all those nonsensical complains.




Good luck to Google. They might have even more problems in the future.
