Google Map "street view"

Have ya seen? Google maps (the one that does the satellite view and directions and stuff) has added a new feature called "street view" for some of the bigger city streets and roads. You can virtually head up and down the streets, looking either way at the buildings and folks. You can, for example, check out the taqueria I had lunch at today in Berkeley (and wander up to campus from there, if you like). Some people have been debating the privacy issues, others have been trying to spot the cars that are taking all the photos for the map. Coming soon to a neighborhood near you... Here's a short (rather silly) video demo of the feature. (The funniest part of that video is the way he says "Aw, Man!" the same way I say it when quoting Dad quoting Andrew.) And here's a gallery of (accidentally) interesting photos taken by the project.
