Google's Checkmate Was Three Moves Ago [View article]
FYI- Google doesn't actually own this satellite, GeoEye (GEOY) does. Google only contracted with Geoeye to use the satellite for Google Earth and Maps before its launch.
The US government regulates the use and sale of the images. As of now, the highest resolution images can be used only by the US military.
So, re "Big Brother," it's the US government we need to watch out for, not Google. All of you who were around in the '60's know what can happen. God help us if we get a new moose-killing "Decider" and a pseudo-maverick "stay the course" guy in office. If they get elected, better stay out of your hot tubs!
