- twiztidsinz, on 07/16/2008, -6/+177OMG... It's all on one page!!
- MikeyTwit, on 07/16/2008, -6/+11051 things blurred out? Area51? The same #? Coincidence?
OF COURSE IT IS!! - StevieJanowski, on 04/02/2009, -5/+90Not Blurred Out: #1 My car and license plate
- MelvinSchlubman, on 07/16/2008, -1/+7751 things, but not Area 51
> #11 ... C4ISR (Consultation, Command, Control, Communications, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) capabilities
Jeez, just list the things it's not - it'd be quicker. - DeskFlyer, on 07/16/2008, -4/+68Even Bigfoot is blurry.
- inactive, on 07/15/2008, -1/+57"SLA alleged that the satellite images on Google Earth are direct copies of real geographic features in Singapore and infringe upon the organization's copyrights." - That's just retarded. Are they hiding something or just trying to prove a point?! Also, Playland Amusement Park? What the hell? YOU MUST PAY TO SEE THESE RIDES! :-D
- inactive, on 07/16/2008, -1/+55He's talking about streetview, genius.
- wontstoptalking, on 07/16/2008, -3/+55Aaah, the classic nude sunbather. Little did they know that they were being watched....from hundreds of miles up!!!!! Dundundun!
- LoneJeeper, on 07/15/2008, -2/+51the links should go to the blurry google map in every case. i don't care to see these websites, show me the blurry!
- Borgcube636, on 07/16/2008, -5/+5251 places... yet, Area 51 is not one of them... IT'S A CONSPIRACY!!!
- brianbennett, on 07/16/2008, -1/+44Are you kidding? Military grade spy satellites will tell you if your shoes are tied.
- Zyvo, on 07/16/2008, -4/+44"Aaron and Christine Boring of Franklin Park Pa. claimed that Google Maps' Street View feature violated their privacy, devalued their property and caused them mental suffering by posting images of a private road in front of their house" Really? Mental suffering for having your house on Google maps?!?
- warsongs7, on 07/16/2008, -0/+37My house looks blurred in Google Earth but only because I live in low-res Australia, not the US.
- jsreid, on 07/16/2008, -3/+35pics or it didn't happen
- mlvassallo, on 07/16/2008, -3/+34Spoiler Alert: It's mostly government buildings and Military Bases.
- blackanode, on 07/16/2008, -1/+32What is funny is now that they went through a legal process to get the image removed, instead of first going to Google to get their image removed which would have probably taken a day. ***** greed right there, if their real interest was their privacy they would have just gone to Google fast.
- ABadPerson, on 07/16/2008, -1/+30"They" will just bomb where ever that is blurry on Google Maps. This just made those otherwise nondescript places stand out.
- Paulish, on 07/16/2008, -0/+29Google can see all, but not all is revealed to us mere humans. It might destroy our fragile minds.
- Tenoq, on 07/16/2008, -0/+28So clearly, as a whole, our entire country has made it. Welcome to Down Under? :p
- WillBraden, on 07/16/2008, -1/+25it's not often that you read "UMass Lowell Nuclear Research Reactor" and "William Hurt's home" in the same article...
- FlagrantDrugUse, on 07/16/2008, -0/+23I heard that Australia is low-res is real life, is that true?
- savvymom, on 07/15/2008, -2/+22a kml file for google earth would have been cool.
- Protoss, on 07/16/2008, -1/+21It seems they decided to randomly link to different sites...really annoying.
- JBrown99, on 07/16/2008, -0/+20"I think Bigfoot is blurry, that's the problem. It's not the photographer's fault. Bigfoot is blurry. And that's extra scary to me, because there's a large, out-of-focus monster roaming the countryside. Run. He's fuzzy. Get outta here. "
- notjasonlee, on 07/16/2008, -0/+19your comment is almost readable. congratulations
- thewayigetby, on 07/16/2008, -1/+20Weird! I totally work in #17, the gated community of North Oaks! Crazy, you'd think for petitioning to google to not be on googlemaps, they could also beef up security. Anyone can get in there.
- EpicSelekta, on 07/16/2008, -1/+18Cover story of Ironic Coincidence Magazine:
Aaron and Christine Boring of Pennsylvania must have been really BORED to have actually bothered to have themselves removed from street view. - cdtoad, on 07/16/2008, -0/+16What the hell are the Dutch up to that they've got so many things blurred out...
- andreo, on 07/16/2008, -0/+16I didn't care about seeing any of these things until I read that I couldn't see them. Isn't that the strangest thing?
- inactive, on 07/16/2008, -1/+16You guys are wrong, the fact that satellites can read a license plate has even been declassified.
- Viend, on 07/16/2008, -0/+13They're Boring.
- zyklon, on 07/16/2008, -0/+12Every ***** time someone posts Colonel Akbar saying "It's a trap" in ASCII, I come a little closer to breaking Moot's ***** face for making 4Chan.
- Slovenian6474, on 07/16/2008, -0/+12Bad news for Playland Amusement Park in Rye, N.Y.
- praisethelard, on 07/16/2008, -0/+12Google has a pretty clear view of Area 51. You can see their baseball field!
- silfiriel, on 07/16/2008, -0/+12streetview, people are you listening at all...
- jthei, on 07/16/2008, -0/+12I can read your license plate without any technology, I don't really think it's a violation of your privacy. It's not like they list your name/address/phone number/blood type/or porn preference on the back of your car.
"Yellow Gremlin - 735-TGSJ" is not a threat to your livelihood. - twiztidsinz, on 07/16/2008, -0/+12Really? I've never seen one.. as a matter of fact.. it's just the opposite comment. It's usually people complaining (for good reason) about how some sites use 10 pages/slides for a Top 7 list.
- centran, on 07/16/2008, -1/+12Google Maps goes back and forth. Sometimes certain places/buildings are blurry and then they are not but then they are again. This is over several months or years.
I am not sure if it is directly google's fault or where they get the images from.
Another weirdness is going back and forth through time. As an example. Soldier Field and Northerly Island in Chicago; every couple of months the satellite image would go back and forth through time. It showed the correct current field once and then switched back to it under construction. Then it showed it under construction for a long time till it switched to the old field. The old field didn't last long as they switched back to under construction. As of typing this it is back to it's current form. It was so bad at one time that the different zoom levels had different phases of construction. - jotate, on 07/16/2008, -0/+11Nothing like some Mitch in the morning. RIP.
- mal1964, on 07/16/2008, -2/+12North Oaks, Minn.
I use to cut grass in that neighborhood, And I'm sure even though i was just a kid they probably ran a background check on me - coyote1284, on 07/16/2008, -0/+10Did anyone bother to tell them that the picture is probably a few years old and not real-time?
- appleseed1234, on 07/16/2008, -4/+14Unless some idiot decides to put a license plate on top of their car, it wont matter how high tech the satellite is.
- TheAmazingBob, on 07/16/2008, -0/+10If you look up Area 51 in Google Earth, there are some spots in the surrounding miles that are blacked out, mainly clusters of black circles in the North.
- byronshell, on 07/15/2008, -13/+23Even Google's all seeing eye has limits. ;-)
- colonelxc, on 07/16/2008, -0/+10sounds like an adventure.
- Gsicht, on 07/16/2008, -2/+10Seeing how they have satellites that can scratch your ass with a laser beam, I wouldn't be surprised...
- Apophis574, on 07/16/2008, -0/+8Admiral*
- praisethelard, on 07/16/2008, -0/+8I believe that's some sort of farm land. You can see a watering device radiating from the center that I presume goes around in a circle, hence the circle of vegetation.
That, or aliens. -
