Interesting but shouldn't come as any suprise.

I knew this would happen. Its funny really, some friends in school said they searched for the Kremlin and got a big smear, instead of a proper view :rotfl: :rotfl:

Well, if it isnt Google earth, then there will sure be another thing. With the technology the world posesses today, noone can be safe. Ordinary people have gadgets today that would make governments & intelligence agencies go crazy if they existed in 1980..:roll:

In France the mapping agency open a site ( www.geoportail.fr ) but in all map/photo/images there are distorsions especially near nuclear powerplant and all military or strategic site are blank but on the other hand the precision is very good (<1m).

I can see the Kremlin fine.

Also I am questioning the accuracy of the report. Unless the photos were taken in the past couple of months and a lot of the stuff seems a couple of years old, apart from the location which would hope with approaches I can't see how much more info they could get. I bet they could get more from being on the ground.

Also suing google earth if they get injured. I don't know if I agree with that. Soldiers should then sue newspapers who have inadvertantly leaked info the enemy could use to make a strike.

I thought I was seeing double. :yep: That was close I thought I was going around the bend for a second. :doh:

A rediculous premise....as if there wasn't a hundred other ways to obtain the same information/data.

i read about this in wikipedia. that big stuff like the capital hill and white house were blurred but i just checked, they ain't censored 1 bit!

[XabbaRus]

From what I understand Google uncensored them.

None as cheap (nearly free), easy and anonymous (untrackable) as Google Earth. :ping:
