6. It is pretty cool, but the images are not live
For example, I was looking at Chicago and they were still working on Soldier Field.

7. Talk about doing the terrorists homework. Shit, you can pinpoint
all sorts of stuff.
Anyway, I just cruised through Basra. Wonder how old the Iraq pics are.

8. the images are censored...
Edited on Sun Oct-02-05 01:49 AM by CanuckAmok
for example, if you go the the WH, the rooftop is tinted-out.

Same with Groom Lake/Area 51.

Don't worry, you can't see what you're not supposed to see.

9. The images of my neighborhood
were at the most 1-1/2 years old.
I just moved in my house March of 04 and my cars were in the driveway.
