I just checked out my apt building on google maps "street view" which was pretty neat. Apparently google is driving around major cities with a bunch of cameras attached to the roof of the car.

You can see random people walking around but their faces are blurry either intentionally or unintentionally. You can definitely read license plate #'s though. I wonder if they're planning on having street view available for the entire u.s. eventually.

I love google books. If you're doing research on something obscure you can find a lot of references on it.
