What they were complaining about is that they kind of sucked in info
from people's wi-fi setups, not just taking the pictures.
I've been down all sorts of Googled lanes too, and have got to know my
childhood area better in Australia than when I was over there, and saved
and edited the photos to boot. (But they so often go down a lane and
then stop and, presumably, go back with the camera off, instead of going
all the way down to the next road!)
I've clambered all around Everest, sniffed the dust in Babylon, stared
slack jawed at Pompeii, searched minesites and cattle stations in
Queensland, and next week I think I might Google-tour Jane's hillside
retreat!
And a couple of months ago when Google cameras came down our road again,
I gave them a wave, so watch out for me!

I love Google, especially Google Earth where you can go down all the lanes and
see where people live. The privacy thing doesn't bother me at all--after all,
they only take the picture once. It is really helpful when you are trying to
choose a new place to live, because you can look at all the different areas to
see if you will like them--without leaving the front room. dee

It was on the news here in Australia that Google is being frowned upon for
"spying" on the houses it passes as it takes photos.

Communications Minister Stephen Conroy has lashed out at Google, accusing the
internet giant of the single biggest breach of privacy in history.
In recent weeks Google has been criticised after revelations that its Street
View photo cars were also collecting information about people's wireless
internet connections.
