    I've been playing around with it for the past week. It's really cool what you can find and do with it.

        I was playing around with it for about 5 minutes but couldnt really figure out how to work it and it lost my interest.

            when you first open it up and move your curser around. it moves the earth around and all that kinda shit. it shows locations to click on and it would tell me about each spot but i couldnt figure out how to zoom in on places and so on. i would put the address in the little box and it wouldnt go there for some reason.

              Start off by clicking the "fly to" tag up top, then type in a zip code and see what happens for you. Here is a pic of my property in Havana

                I think we had this discussion once before, but I think it's a bit scary that they have pics of everybodies houses and stuff from satellites-makes you think they know a lot more about you than you think cause this is available to everyone-what do they have that they don't share with everyone?!

                  Scary...yes, but I have nothing to hide and I'm not doing anything wrong out there so...let 'em look. They just might catch me pissing out on the property one day.

                    After looking around here for a while I've concluded...

                    The pictures of middle GA and the DFW TX area are dated to the Winter of 2003-2004 - I am sure of this by land that has or has not been developed yet and that- it is sometime in the morning (not just due to shadows) because the school parking lots are full but the business parking lots are not packed yet - I am sure there is more to pick up on to pinpoint the dates etc but I just picked up on these fairly quick (at least in the states of GA and TX). I am sure that they would not show China in the dark (as it would be day here and night there) but I can venture to guess that they are pretty close in dates / days of actual photos taken.

                    The scary part is - the government and military can look this shit up in realtime - I wonder if they can see me flipping them off?
                    :)

                      lol. They don't have my house yet-or at least not on any of these online satellite things.

                          They will probably update in 5-10 years.

                            Yeah the images are a few years old, but another thing I noticed is that the addresses are off. I put mine in and it gave me a building down the street. I put in my parents house and it gave me the house next door to them.

                              It did that to me on hundreds of things - luckily I knew what I was looking at...

                              I put in my address and changed it by two digits i.e. 1105 / 1107 / 1109 etc and it kept putting me on my neighbors plot. It also gave me a retail store that has been built in the last 2 years but it zeroed in on a completely different retail store (looking for the new Sam's and it put me 3 miles away at an old Target building - go figure).

                              I just hope that when I get ahold of Denise Massino's address it is the correct house...
