Yeah, I posted that before but I dont think people noticed it. Its an amazing program, I zoomed into my house from outer space then from around my city following roads to the places I worked and checked out the neighborhood stores and orientations of places to go. Then I went other places like flying around like Superman. Its an amazing program, I need to spend more time on it so when I give directions I can print out a real map of how to go to places with satellite images. So much potential.
You only get so much resolution with whats allowed by law so you cant zoom in and read license plates off cars, but really they can zoom in and read your laptop with that. They can see how many people are in a tent in a terrorist camp and send a cruise missile and watch you with a nose cone camera as it dives into your tent and then static. Amazing stuff
