Both Google and Microsoft - through its Virtual Earth Platform, are simply copying each other in both their designs and their products and services in developing an online earth. Neither of their two Earth's give us anything new and exciting and it all seems a little bit, can I say - pedestrian. Perhaps we need a new earth platform that can show both Google and Microsoft, how to produce a better representation of our lovely planet. This Third Earth Platform could become a better mirror earth version than any of the other two earthlings. Now if only I could find the right people back in London to help me develop my Third Earth Platform Project and win the Battle of the Planets.

That is stupid. This is no different from some random jackass doing the same thing. Here's a Protip: if you're embarrassed about going to an adult store, cover your face when you walk in, or order via the 'net. You've got just as good odds of someone taking your picture as an associate recognizing your face and telling everyone how you spend your slow Saturdays. “The Street View program has not been without its critics in the United States as well, particularly when Google has shown pictures of people entering adult book stores and doing other things they’d rather not have on the internet.”
