Debunking the Google Earth Censorship Myth
waderoush writes "There's a persistent Web meme to the effect that Google obscures sensitive or top-secret locations in Google Maps and Google Earth at the insistence of national governments. A July IT Security article promoted on Digg, 'Blurred Out: 51 Things You Aren't Allowed to See on Google Maps,' revived this notion. But the article has been widely criticized, and I did some fact-checking this week on the six Boston-area locations mentioned in the IT Security list. As it turns out, not one of the allegedly blurred locations has degraded imagery in Google Maps, as my screen shots demonstrate. My post looks into the sources of the misleading IT Security piece, and of other mistaken rumors about Google Maps."
You mean it's like Slashdot, if the concussed monkeys took up drinking.

Finally, we know the undisclosed location Cheney is always going to!
I've always suspected it involved a handbasket.
The higher the technology, the sharper that two-edged sword.
