Google is closing in on a deal for Skybox Imaging, a satellite company that specialises in recording very detailed landscape pictures and video. We now have heard that the deal with Skybox ... Google Close To Purchasing High-Res Satellite Company
so instead of google snapping pictures of me cutting my lawn they can get videos? I kidd you not i put my address in google earth once and they had images of me cuting my lawn they where blurry but it was me and it was my house haha
wouldn't be the first time. that would actually be a fun way to give back to the people spying on you, until they make it public. what a vicious cycle.
So the resolution may be good enough for me to watch my nubile young neighbour sunbathing when the weather is good enough, like those two sailors did with one of their female officers in an old episode of NCIS? Should be really interesting, in that case.
I just want google earth to be able to export geotiff files so I can load em on my GPS for when I camp in remote areas. I thought google already owned an imaging company, so idk if this new acquisition will let google export usable imagery.
