Totally not fair

Monday, June 4th, 2007 | Category: Pictures, Technology, New York City

Google Street View is astounding. Not just the content but the superb interface. They took gigabytes of photos and managed to make the interface easy enough for a child to use - you can even use your arrow keys to move around like in a video game. But something came to my mind when I was looking at their photos of the George Washington Bridge - why can they take those pictures and I can’t? There are “Camera Use Prohibited” signs posted all over the bridge… like this one! I’ve biked across that bridge so many times yet I haven’t been able to take a single picture. They’ve got cameras watching you and two full-time security guards - one stationed on each side of the bridge. Totally not fair.

Not fair indeed! They don’t want pictures taken b/c of what the info can be used for. Now you simply have to go to google. Google is an enemy of America!

Totally…
