Only now, you can actually see the front door.

So, they rolled out this Street View shit for Denver, San Francisco, Las Vegas and New York. It's pretty cool, and very educational.
For example, did you know that America is under attack by portal-ripping aliens?

If you go up and down that street in the same picture, you'll notice the guy is sitting in the middle of the road. Taking pictures. While cars drive at him.
What wacky shit can you find in here?

oh well
pirate style it is
I made a TD for iphone and windows phone!
stop being a retard, this is the fucking information age.
everything nobody wants to know about you has been available for fucking years, and the ability to look around in an online map program doesn't change that one bit.
e-paranoia tinfoil hat wearers aside, this is pretty fucking fantastic. Walking around in Las Vegas is pretty damned impressive.
This is going to be like 20 times worse. I keep zooming in to windows to see If i can find someone wanking it or killing his wife or something.
Or both.
Edit: What things were caught on Google Maps?
First I've heard of it.
JordynNolz.com <- All my blogs (Shepard, Wasted, J'onn, DCAU) are here now!

this is goddamned science fiction shit right here
in two or three years this is gonna be unreal

holy god damn christ this is fucking awesome
I love google so fucking hard
maybe google will finally make all my wildest dreams come true in a couple years
I would love to kill you.
then type in a thing you want like videogames or pizza or exotic dancing or walmart
all of the business in the area that fit your search term will pop up on the map as an orange marker
click on the marker and there's an option for google to set up a phone call to them for you
they've pretty much got the smartest engineers on the planet working for them.
and their upper management is smart enough to say "hey, you know what? Let's actively encourage these geniuses to fuck around for at least an hour, every day. Just to see what happens."
And then we get crazy cool shit like this.
