A Boing Boing reader is freaked out that Google Maps is spying on his cat. The article offers some interesting insights on the different aspects of this situation
To address privacy issues and step up competition with Microsoft operating systems, Google will rename Google Maps zoom feature to Google Windows Peeping.
It was overheard that Google would address privacy issues by just telling the world that yes they are spying in your window at your cat.
It is said that Google is threatened by the new startup I can has cheezburger, and look to start creating the worlds largest repository of cat pictures. A separate team will be tasked with creating the code for lolcats language to post on the pictures.
OK – not really, but I thought the new name coined by Chris of Solo Technology in the comments was too good not to write up.

I’m really enjoying the design and layout of your website. It’s a very easy on the eyes which
makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more
often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme?
Fantastic work!

Amazing! This blog looks just like my old one! It’s on a totally
different topic but it has pretty much the same page layout and
design. Excellent choice of colors!

Excellent site you have here but I was curious about if you
knew of any forums that cover the same topics discussed in this article?
I’d really love to be a part of online community where I
can get feedback from other experienced people that share the same interest.
If you have any recommendations, please let me know. Thanks!

I don’t know if it’s just me or if everybody else encountering problems with your blog.
It appears as if some of the text within your content are running off
the screen. Can somebody else please comment and let me know
if this is happening to them too? This might be a issue with
my web browser because I’ve had this happen previously.
Many thanks

When not on patrol or other forms of duty, troops must have some
means of relaxation so that they are alert and ready when they have to be.
So if you can qualify to take enough surveys, this paid survey program can and will give you the opportunity to make a few extra greenbacks working
part time from home. Appreciating coffee that is full bodied, rich in flavor and aroma is a
joy of a lot of.
