Google Maps inside stores & buildings now....
« on: October 09, 2012, 03:45:27 PM »
Go to New York City
Zoom in all the way to Times Square
Grab the little yellow dude and drag & hold him over the map until you see blue squares and orange circles.
Drop him over the orange circles to enter a store.
Prepare yourself for Skynet integration.

Would have been much cooler before Herr Giuliani got rid of all the adult book stores and massage parlors. 

It's a good idea, but the only way to get good implementation would be to facilitate shop owners being able to submit their own imagery.  I have no idea how it works now, but if they're relying on Google to capture interiors, they'll never be able to get widespread coverage.
Argument, the presentation of reasonable views, never makes headway against conviction, and conviction takes no part in argument because it knows.

Works in other cities, too.  I just tried it.

This just reminded me I hadn't creeped in on my friends pool in awhile, so I did that.  I feel like I should let him know I was watching his pool.

I used to be worried about this but nowadays I like Google so much I just don't care if it ends up being Skynet

It could very well be my paranoia talking, I'll admit.  I just REALLY don't like where all of that could go. /tin foil hat
