Global Peeping Tom.

In case you haven't noticed, the mother of all search engines has expanded it's dominance into maps. Google Maps is a relative new venture from the company. But Mapquest isn't the only people that Google has shaking in their boots. Remember that movie "Enemy of the State" with Will Smith and Gene Hackman? You know the one where Hackman's character won't look up because he doesn't want to be "seen" by the government's eye in the sky. This is where Google has come in. If you go to Google Maps and search for a landmark around your house. Now zoom in as close as possible. Now look in the upper right hand corner where it says Satellite. Scary huh? There's no doubt that it probably works better if you have a high-speed connection. But I can clearly see my house, my driveway, even the 10x12 shed in my backyard. And this is the free version from a internet search engine. There's a paid version from Google where the image will be updated every 20 minutes. Do you think your spouse is having an affair while you're away on business? Now you can see if there is a "unexplained" car parked in the driveway.
