On a similar note... although not about the technology as much as it is about the privacy issue... is that new google maps feature "street view." By next year it will pretty much have every street in every neighborhood so well photographed, it'll be like watching a video to get directions.

Strange to look up my sister's address and see her car in the driveway... her trunk open... grocery bags on the front porch. Feels very "invasion of privacy-ness" (yeah, I invented the word... jealous?!?!)
