More Info on Google's 3D Maps
Will Stewart writes "You have doubtless read that Silicon Valley Watcher reported on Google plans to use trucks equipped with lasers and digital photographic equipment to create a realistic 3D, online version of San Francisco and eventually other major US cities, but you may not have seen the picture of where the trucks are kept and Berkeley's unrelated research project and published technical research (PDF file)."
They couldn't even get a camera in. They had to take the photo on a Treo 600. Is this some huge conspiracy? Google doesn't want you to delve into their Bat Cave.
Actually, I would STILL trust Google if they were producing weapons of mass destruction. Just not Microsoft.

Don't be stupid, what use are sharks going to be mapping cities ?
Just in case you didn't notice sharks live in the sea ( big wet moving thing near the beach ) and cities are not built in the sea.
In addition to that even if Sharks did live on the land, and in cities it would be stupid to attempt to use them to map cities in this way, using trucks is a far more sensible method and much more likely to produce the sort of results Google require.
I cannot believe anyone would seriously suggest the crap you have just suggested, I mean seriously - do you have an education ?
