Maybe it's not so much the NSA, maybe it's Google
Slow day at work so we got to discussing Google. A woman thinks Google+ is a good idea but I said I wasn't comfortable. That's a public profile so if you're not big on privacy folks can get to see that you downloaded The Advanced Guide to Rimjobs let's say or a self-help book regarding substance abuse. I was reading an app review for Yonkers PD Tips and there's an actual guy's name who commented and I clicked something and got to see his literal movie, book and music library on whatever devices Mike has. Now they make conservatives out to be nosy people poking around in folks' business but I really don't care to know all this. Google Maps and the Street View, guy at work told me how they get those images. They have a team who drive these white cars around with yellow things on top that take the pictures and they do this every six months. Hey BB there's a job for ya. Of course out in CA Google is test-driving driverless cars and then there's all the Glassholes out there. It's ALL OUT THERE but it ain't all good imo. Dunno, maybe the Snowden rage is misplaced or could be divvied up more. Mommy there's a Google monster under my bed.

My house has a street view, the 2nd one since I discovered the feature, but I have
ReplyDeletenever seen the street view vehicle....I thought maybe the Mrs. had sent it in. I suppose they do it
by snowmobile in Nanwalek, Alaska. Heck, they even have a street view of Buford,
Wyoming (pop. 1), must have sent the googlemobile up over Sherman Pass.
Stalkers and burglars must be having a field day. One high-ranking Google exec has been quoted as saying "we like to go right up to the line of creepy and not cross it."
ReplyDeleteIf you see the googlemobile with tower camera crusing by, step out and flip
Deleteem off...I check your street view..maybe go viral. Meanwhile, a huge new crater has been found in Siberia . Since there is a great deal of underground methane, it is believed related to that. Perhaps an old Yeti
outhouse?
What do you think of the Montauk Monster? Folks are trying to make much of this like Cheney was in charge of making weird creatures on Plum Island.
DeleteI dont have a street view.
ReplyDeleteAren't you on a south forty way out in the forests of the Piedmont? Must be

You're close, I was out in Piermont just the other day. This stuff is probably not legally dubious but it seems like it should be legally dubious.
DeleteI was looking up some ritzy condo street in the Hudson Valley and seems they don't have a street view either. So who do you pay off?
DeleteAgreed on one point though, McCain ALWAYS wants to go to war.
ReplyDeleteMcCain secretly wants war with Canada and Disney World. He puts the con
Deletein neocon. Would he and Sarah been sued and subject to impeachment?
For McCain if war didn't exist it would have to be invented. Imagine if he were in charge of Israel, he would out-Bibi Bibi. Hamas wouldn't exist because the Gaza Strip wouldn't exist.
DeleteI am way out in the Piedmont yes. We do show up on Google maps but no street view, all you would see is trees anyway, you cant see the house from the road even in winter. I think that googlemobile would probably get shot at if it showed up here.
ReplyDeleteStill got that condo up in the mountains, Saty?
DeleteYes yes!
