I had all of the images of my place scrubbed from all of the engines. I
went through, 1 by 1, and had all of our personal data, phone numbers,
and backgrounds scrubbed from all of the online services as well. Some
of them require a notarized declaration to do this, others you have to
push through an attorney, but most are pretty easy.
In my line of work, and my wifes, privacy is essential. If you check my
email headers, you'll find them blank. If you find my IP, it's not mine,
it is mutated every few weeks to a different one (Millions of
potentials), at a different geographical location. My connection is a
2048-Bit Encrypted tunnel and the key is re-keyed every few weeks. If
you google search this email address you will find 3 link, and 2 of them
are from Mikes Archives. In 6 months I won't have the same email
address, it will be out of some tropical island or some such overseas
server.
These are all prudent precautions. Why make it easy for anyone?

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.
http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2010/05/25/2908415.htm quoted in part:
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.
