We're not on Google's Street View - just Google Earth


Pardon me for whining about their technology, but I suspect their two cameras for capturing stereo images weren't placed in the best relationship to each other, because these buildings appear here as too short and flat. The one in the upper left corner, for example, is a 20-storey building, and I'm in it, so I know. But nothing's perfect, I guess. Still, I think they could have done better....  Maybe next time.

  2. You've got that right, Monsieur!

    When I was young and horny and desperate, I never dreamed that one day we'd have all these goodies!
    Who knows? If I was young again, I might be famous on seven continents and wanted by the law on four of them :)
