Second of all, they could only allow you to access the snapshots while they access the live action ones. <br /><br />Third of all, software cannot run without a computer can it, and a computer cannot run without electricity can it? Your point is irrelevant. Everything depends on something else. <br /><br />Fourth of all, the average computer has tons of PINs, credit card numbers, etc, so, needless to say, no one would want others to access them. And finally, IT'S JUST A JOKE! PrivatePigg, first of all, I have a girlfriend, and I bet she’s way hotter than yours, if you have one.

Do bother researching or citing your conspiracy theories, or do you just babble?<br /><br />Google can't "spy" on us any more than anyone else can. Google Earth comes from pictures taken from other people's satellites and airplanes. They are not live action, but rather still photos, some of which are up to three years old.<br /><br />As for being the most powerful company... well, you can't <i>use</i> Google unless you are running someone else's software, like Microsoft or Mozilla (your browser or OS).<br /><br />Google could be secretly monitoring your activity via Google Desktop? Uh, no one cares about what you are doing on your desktop, "Leon" (if that IS your real name).<br /><br />This is my favorite: "no matter how much it tries to retain its friendly image, the fact is that now it is a souless corporate giant, and like all the others, it will try its best to be master of all that it surveys, and won't hesitate to use us as pawns to do it."<br /><br />Woo-hoo. You watch way too many movies. Get out more. Get a girlfriend. Get a good paying job. Get a nice house. Take a vacation. You'll find your idle mind will no longer gravitate towards the absurd if you do. Dude, what is this tripe? Do bother researching or citing your conspiracy theories, or do you just babble?
