Only available for New York at the moment, but its quite impressive. Reported on the news that some woman in New York complained because you could see inside her living room.

Had a quick go and ive been down a few streets in Harlem, Times Square, went down Church street past the World Trade Centre site went down Broadway, and now im gonna see if i can find that street where Bruce Willis in Die Hard 3 holds up that sign that says "i hate fellows"

Gives you a bit more sense of direction about where everything is in New York. A lot of things referred to in movies I know have a better sense of if you know what i mean

Yes it would be amazing to see the technology etc used by the military and some of the advanced government agencies.

Also available in SanFran, Vegas and Denver. There was an interesting article on theage yesterday about how they had taken photos of:

A) Woman in a g-string
B) Guy climbing a fence (looked like a break-in)
C) Guy picking his nose
D) Two people shaking hands (suggested it was a drug-deal)

And how these people may react when they see themselves there

There's always people having sex in the streets - you just have to look in the right places...

Careful though if you're looking around San Fran's streets. They are know for their gay community.

Yep - because gay people are 7 and a half times more likely to have sex in the streets in broad daylight (while being photographed by the Google people) than straight people.
