I was simply trying to point out that the resolution is a lot higher than most people guess it to be.

What would most people guess the resolution of a digital camera in a car to be?

My wife got an email last night about google’s phone number search. I guess you can type in a phone number and find the address. Somehow you can (and she did) hide that information from google.

See if she's on ZabaSearch.

Not realtime. Available in San Fran, Denver, Las Vegas, NYC and Miami. Only select streets in select neighborhoods, shot over time.

It is interesting.

Generally, if you’re embarassed by going into strip joints and bookstores,
Don’t go into them.

Just be on the lookout for the Googlewagen and pull your jacket over your head when it drives by.

Here's a closer look at the gadget on the roof:

Eleven cameras. Resolution totals 100 megapixels.

My recollection is those famous rocks in Colorado Springs are redder than the ones behind that Beetle. Immersive Media is headquartered in Calgary, and Google, of course, hails from Mountain View. So, who knows where the picture was taken?
